Press and Sun-Bulletin from Binghamton, New York • 37

nwniWii earn Wednesday, June 6, 1990 Press Sun-Bulletin 3D iseguy' set to get new episodes I TV TONIGHT '4' i'Ckr ill try story now rerunning late nights was scattered and the Washington, D.C., story was confusing. But Wahl points to others, especially one involving pressure in the clothing industry: "I particularly liked that one." He also pushed for new sites. "I felt we had exhausted Vancouver as a place to shoot I thought, 'Hey, we've done it cheap for three years now, maybe we should do something That's been the whole thing with Wiseguy being different." Instead, he insists, he was eased out. He's now in Mexico City, working on The Taking of Beverly Sidney Furie action-adventure that has little in common with his TV series. "Wiseguy was very satisfying to do, but it was also very draining.

This is much lighter." Then came the word that CBS feels the show will be back, with Wahl in the early episodes. He says it won't happen. What would it take to get him back into a series? "Poverty. If you ever see me in a regular series, it'll be because I'm destitute." the other producers are in California; Wahl, who added an associate producer title this season, was in Vancouver. "Actually, I was the only producer supervising on the set." Separated by a vast gap, they tugged at an elusive concept.

Cannell had gone from praise for Rockford Files to disdain for The A-Team. For him, Wiseguy was a return to respectability. Here was the story of a man who spent two years in prison, so he could go undercover in the mob. Stories were tough and textured, taking weeks to unwind. "That's good creatively, but its mass appeal was always limited," Wahl says.

"Let's say we start a five-week arc and you go bowling the next week. You're out of luck." Still, the show stirred interest. Here was Wahl's understated style, alongside some of the most ferocious guest stars on television, including Ray THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, (PG) 7 and 9:40 p.m.; Towne Theater, Endicott; $6, $3.50.

BINGHAMTON 1204 WML iiiiHNRi i ip vm.i ii i ii e' --'t3' rev FRIDAY "z- fes-V V' L'' fis'" If' By MIKE HUGHES Gannett News Service Three years before Twin Peaks ar-rived, it was Wiseguy that shook up the cozy TV turf. Like Peaks, it had a brooding look and tangled stories.

And now it has its own mystery: Will Vinnie Terranova ever be back? The line from CBS is upbeat: The show, which continues in reruns at 11:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, will have new prime-time episodes sometime next season. Ken Wahl will do two-to-four episodes, as his Terranova character is eased out. But Wahl disagrees. "I don't think so," he says.

"I wouldn't want to be where I wasn't wanted." Yes, he has a contract with Cannell Productions. But he feels Stephen Cannell let him out. "He informed me that he didn't like the direction in which the writers and I had taken the show." Part of this involves the confusion of a long-distance project. Cannell and Ricky Van By THOMAS GOLDSMITH and ROBERT K. OERMANN Gannett News Service Smooth-singing Ricky Van Shelton won top honors in the fan-voted TNN-Music City News Country Awards Monday night as a new generation of traditional country stars carried the evening.

Straight-country champion Shelton won both the entertainer and male vocalist of the year awards, beating out such strong competition as Randy gravis and George Strait in those categories. "I think there's been a mistake I wasn't expecting this at all," former Virginia pipe-fitter Shelton told the Opry House crowd after winning the big award. "Thank you for loving country music in general as I do." Other double winners were new sensation Clint Black, for star of tomorrow and album of the year, and the Statler Brothers, for single and vocal group of the. year. "New traditionalist" stars Shelton, Black, Patty Love-jess and the Judds all won awards, while country legends Tennessee Ernie Ford and Merle Haggard were given special recognition for decades of Texas singer-songwriter Black, already established in the top ranks of the business, was honored as a newcomer with his star of tomorrow award and took album of the year with his platinum Killin Time disc.

"I guess I feel pretty famous," Black said backstage about his skyrocketing success. "I hate to pin that word but if you all force it on me, I guess I'll take it." Country stalwarts Jimmy Dean and Barbara Mandrell hosted the national- ly cablecast awards ceremonies, in which winners were first nominated Ken Wahl Wiseguy's Vinnie Terranova Sharkey, Kevin Spacey and Ron Silver. But disputes developed, Wahl says. Some producers wanted to spend more time with the Mafia; Wahl disagreed. "I thought it was better to venture into new areas." Some viewers said the music-indus Tennessee Ernie Ford won Minnie Peart Award award with producer Joanne Gardner ii ana airecior unan Kusseu.

Living Legend honoree Merle Haggard wasn't on hand either. Instead, the great singer-songwriter was honored with words from presenter Loret-ta Lynn and a series of video tributes from the likes of Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and George Jones. For Music City News favorites The Statler Brothers, it was their 19th vocal group of the year award. Their single of the year honor came for their Vietnam vets saga More Than a Name on a Wall. Ricky Skaggs, a pioneer of the new traditionalist movement, was named the fans' instrumentalist of the year.

"I'm not going to quit singing just because you like my picking. I'm going to keep picking and singing," said star multi-instrumentalist Skaggs. The venerable Chuck Wagon Gang, gospel stalwarts since 1936, won as 907 Vestal Parkway "NIFTY FIFTIES TrTUl ULn PRESENTS LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III JUNE 8. 1990 AT 8:00 P.M.

"We know how it is to win and we know how it is to lose and 1 tell you, it's a lot more fun to win," said Chuck Wagon Gang leader Roy Carter. Country funnyman Ray Stevens picked up his fifth straight comedian of the year award. Minnie Pearl showed up to present her old friend Tennessee Ernie Ford with the award named after her. Singer-television star Ford became the third recipient of the Minnie Pearl Award. "Many things have happened in my life, but I can only say right now if I ever felt like a milk bucket under a bull, it's right now," said a visibly emotional Ford.
