(1 hr. 55 mins.) By JOHN CARMAN Of The San Francisco Chronicle Now the hard part the. worst of TV in 1998. So much effluvia and so little space. I know this: If digital TV were a program rather than a technology, it would be on a "worst" list.

Digital rngh-definition TV will one day be the standard. Today it's the Yawn of the Year. Here goes, no particular order, but that all-too-familiar odor, the worst of the worst: MSNBC coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandaL Only the cer-tifiably demented could possibly stomach MSNBC's virtually nonstop cacophony of presidential and congressional shame. The daily diet of nitwits, apologists, creeps and cranks was so noxious that it helped drive Keith 01-bermann out of news and back to timacy with one of his mobster cousins. This after he'd just ordered a few dozen people whacked, including an innocent priest whose throat was slit.

"The Magic Hour." Magic is one element that was conspicuously missing from this quickly canceled syndicated talk show hasted by Magic Johnson. Someone figured that Johnson's pleasing personality and megawatt smile translated into talk-show skills. Wrong calculation. "Brave New World." At least with "Crime and Punishment" NBC tried to do justice to a literary classic. This NBC movie was punchless and visually washed out.

Then there was Leonard Nimoy as Mustapha Mond, the benevolent dictator of Aldous Huxley's futuristic tale. Nimoy's wardrobe was a skirt accessorized by a necklace of big orange beads. Spock, perchance, has blown his sprocket. sports, at Fox Sports News. Journalism was a bit player.

The national interest was even less of a concern as NBC News and its partner, Microsoft, hammered and yammered. CBS coverage of the Winter Olympics from Nagano, Japan. Bad luck, bad weather, bad decisions. Believe in harbingers? CBS launched its coverage by interrupting the "Ode to Joy," in the climactic movement in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, for commercials. And oh, the commentary.

CBS hired Jim Rippey as its snowboard-ing analyst. Rippey's snowboarding analysis went something like this: "Yeah, Chris! C'mon, buddy!" Actually, it didn't go something like that. It went exactly like that. Jerry Springer. For his TV show.

For his movie. For his very existence. Isn't there some vague neural impulse reminding me of a promise somewhere, from someone, to tone down the mayhem on the TV program? Seems the word didn't reach Jerry. The show is a bellicose blend of bleeped language and halfhearted brawls featuring America's beefiest bozos. The act will get old.

It has to get old. Then, maybe. Springer will scoop up his money and go away. "the Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer." It was pronounced "Puh-feiffer," and it was puh-foundly bad however you said or saw it. Imagine, a sitcom about the wacky White House of the Lincoln adiiunistration, with Abe delving into cybersex via telegraph while Mary Todd pined for her boy toys.
