pcilauin class of ring '4 on Kiel Martin's rm finger. Martin plays laY--f Johnny LaRue, a A4k on the NBC po- lice drama It isn't often a per- former wears his Jicha high school ring On stage, but Martin rarely works without his. It is a constant reminder of what might not have been. Martin almost didn't earn that ring, and if he hadn't, there's no telling where he would be now. He almost certainly wouldn't be a featured performer on one of the best series ever made for television.

"I was tremble as a kid," Martin said Friday. "All I was interested in was beer and girls." When he reached 16, the legal age to do so, he tried to drop out. Martin's father reacted as most parents would. He did everything possible to prevent it. One of the last straws he clutched at was getting the Hialeah drama coach, Sandra Riley, to give his son an audition for the school play.

The tryout was for a bit part, but Kiel handled himself so well, he was awarded the lead in "Einian's Rainbow." Suddenly, he had a direction in which to channel his energy. "I knew then that's what I wanted to do and I haven't looked back since," he said. After being graduated from Hialeah, he studied drama at the University of Miami and Trinity University in Texas. By 1967, the creme de la creme of show business, the William Morris Agency, agreed to take him on as a client. Within five days, he had three job offers; he accepted a contract with Universal Studios.

He kept busy most of the time, but none of his parts were the type which are considered at Oscar and Emmy time. "I specialized in playing psychotics," he said. "I have this wild look in my eyes when I want to use it," Among his more frequent employers were Steven Bochco and Michael Kozoll, who collaborated to create "Hill Street Blues." Ilochco and Kozoll specialized in cop shows and used Martin in "Delvecchio" and "Paris." Each time, they told him they had something really special in mind for him down the road. "You hear that all the time out here, so I didn't think too much of it," Martin said Bochco and Kozoll did. The show they had in the back of their minds was "Hill Street Blues," and when they got approval to go ahead with the project, Martin was one of the first people they called.

I network wanted someone better known," Martin said, "but I read one line and the part was mine." John LaRue isn't a wild-eyed psychotic but he isn't your typical TV cop hero.

either. Larue is not one of those people who lives to work; rather it's the other way around. If it feels good, LaRue does it on duty or off. In the series first 13 weeks, he was busted for accepting a bribe, reprimanded for taking a woman TV reporter with him on a dangerous stakeout and had hot coffee dumped in his lap by his captain's lover. "They are writing very heavily for me," said Martin, who will get into further difficulties in his pursuit of wine and women on the two movie-length "HSB" episodes which air tonight and next Tuesday at 9.

"The next four hours are the finest I've ever had the opportunity to do." Martin said. "I think it's the best part ever written for an actor on TV." LaRue is almost a symbol of "11SB" always on the ledge, but somehow a survivor because the potential for something special is so apparent. The show has developed almost a cult following. but few of the cult's members are hooked to Nielsen rating devices. "USW' has never been in the top 10 and frequently has landed among the 10 least watched shows.

Yet. thanks to critical acclaim and a letter-writing campaign by fans, the show has been renewed for next season, While Martin and the rest of the "I1SB" company are grateful for the support. they are realists about the future, "The reaction has been great." he said, "hut if we don't get those numbers TV lives by, it won't do any good."

In its new Thursday night home. "NBC Magazine" almost doubled its audience in the first week and has been doing nearly as well ever since. End of story? Not exactly.

When NBC announced its fall schedule, Brinkley was utterly dismayed to discover the network he has served so well and honorably for three decades had shafted him again. Where is his neA.S Saturday at 9 pin. Saturday night is the one night of the week when kids dominate the audience. A news show has no bustness there and no chance. The evening is dominated by such juvenile slop as "Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island." "If we go to Saturday night.

we'll die." Brinkley said "There's no question about it, II they want to kill thioshow this is a perfect way to do it. I'd rather be back against Dallas' than go to Saturday." Brinkley intends to put up light. And if he Iowa? No clues. lion," he said. "I'll leave," Not.

he added quickly, just "haq Magazine." lie's angry enough in kiss the entire network goodbye. "I'm just sick of it," he said. "Ulu tired of the constant meddling artp the idiocy." If he leaves. where would he In a triumph of understatement. Brinkley replied: "I don't think I'd have a problem finding something to do 000tB Network News tij This Old House Roger CD Let See the Picts Tic Tsc Dough Bob Newham If NBC doesn't stop fooling around.

they're going to lose David Brinkley. Brinkley is angry. really angry. lie says he is fed up with meddling from "little tin gods who sit in their executive offices and play television." lie added he's tired of watching "fatuous, overstuffed, overpaid and overrated buffoons" try to tell David Brinkley what to do and how to do it "No One knows less about tele 1- sion than these socalled executives," Brinkley said with a sneer "What have they ever done? What are their creations? What are their achievements What is their purpose? "Why do they exist at all other than to take up office space and shuffle papers? Ni) one knows There is no Brinkley's outrage is provoked by the sleight of hand NBC has pulled with his show, "The NBC News Magazine." Brinkley took over the show late last year. Prior to that, it had been run by Tom Snyder.

With assurances NBC would back him all the way. Brinkley took the helm and turned "NBC Magazine" into a respectable. informative program one of which he is proud, There was just one problem. "NBC Magazine" was on opposite "Dallas" on 1-riday night This meant it vv as the best-kept secret in TV. A few weeks ago.
