The Dukes, Luke and Bo, make the mistake of picking up a hitchhiking girl who's pregnant and has a bag full of wanted money. (9 p.m.) NBC: "Turnabout." The one-gag comedy continues with Sam (John Schuck), having gotten his wish to be Penny (Sharon Gless) and she to be he is now confronted with pregnancy, which opens up the way for yuks galore they hope.

(9 p.m.) ABC: "Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll" (SPECIAL). Lest you think disco has taken over, here's a salute to rock stars, a two-hour rollback of the clock to the days when the Beatles, Chubby Checker, Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin were "it" with the young record buyers. Highlights of 82 rock stars and their careers get the March of Time treatment for 20th Century-Fox films and the. master of slicing these salutes together, Jack Haley Jr. And a treat will be a rare clip of the late Presley's original screen test.

(9:30 p.m.) NBC: "Hello, Larry." Radio talk-show host Alder (McLean Stevenson), his divorce final, assures his two offspring, Ruthie and Diane, that he's in no hurry to latch on to a new girlfriend. Then he sneaks off to a singles bar for some action. (10 p.m.) CBS: "Dallas." In the aftermath of pretty Julie's death, with R. accusing Cliff of the crime, Pam (Victoria Principal), so upset by her brother's supposed implication, moves out of the Ewing mansion. (10 p.m.) NBC: "Sweepstakes." A circus couple (James Coco and Rue McClanahan) wanting to become parents, a couple bored with their marriage (Patrick Macnee and Joan Hackett), a pickpocket (Mark Shera) and his victim (Arlene Golonka) are the three finalists teams vying for the $1 million lottery prize.

By Mort Walker and Dik Browne I THINK IT'S TIME I snowdrifts Are fun you I fr wncQ iNnw wlIAT tcccicp I P00 (8 p.m.) -CBS: "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown." It's the fifth year (repeat show) in a row that Charlie's mailbox is empty on this annual day, but not for long, as Charles M. Schulz' little animated hero always ends up a winner. (8 p.m.) NBC: "Diff'rent Strokes." Arnold and Willis are at it again getting on Mr. Drummond's nerves. What's needed is a tutor for the tykes.

But in walks a teacher (Barry Diamond) who's a perfect candidate to be put down by mighty mite Arnold. (8 p.m.) ABC: "Makin" It." Billy and Tony, who, in case you lost your score card on all the new shows, are the college kids with the disco background, are concerned about their woman friend, Tina, who's dating the neighborhood wolf. And if it's in a disco parlor there's good reason. (8:30 p.m.) CBS: "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." Rudyard Kipling's classic, his "Jungle Book" tale of a mongoose saved from a watery grave by a youth and his folks, is another animated treat returning for a fifth straight year. Some distinguished voices are heard: Orson Welles (narrator and Tavl), June Foray, Les Tremayne, Michael LeClair, Len Weinrib.

(8:30 p.m.) NBC: "Brothers and Sisters." College life will be anything but dull on NBC. It's on with the fraternity pranks as long as the young viewers support 'em. But in only the third week they're shuffling episodes already. Last week's crowning of Zipper (Jon Cutler) "King of Hearts" now goes on tonight. (8:30 p.m.) ABC: "What's Happening!" A new time slot for this one, as ABC wants to go head to head against NBC's gang of cutups with its own pranksters.

Little Earl's birthday present for Dee, a necklace, turns into a "noose" when she tries to return it to a store because it's too ugly. The charge: shoplifting. (9 p.m.) CBS: "The Dukes of Hazzard." Ex- by THOMAS JOSEPH to eo WATCH 5 Great American Motion Picture back on screen By BILL HAYDEN Gannett News Service Frankly, my dear, I don't care what else is on televison this weekend. The Great American Motion Picture is back on the home screen. No film ever made is such an integral and necessary part of the American experience as "Gone With The Wind," CBS, Sunday night at 7 (ET), Monday night at 8 (ET).

Winner of 10 Academy Awards, this 1939 masterpiece has remained perennially popular with most of its audiences. They are drawn back to see it again and again as much because of the love story of the two central characters Clark Gable's Rhett Butler and Vivien Leigh's Scarlett O'Hara as for the panoramic grandeur of its recreation of the Civil Wars's devastation of the South. It is an epic production that fares surprisingly well on the small home screen. In fact, television gives a new intimacy to the O'Hara-Butler relationship. And while not as sweeping as on the large theater screen, such striking scenes as the spectacular burning of Atlanta and the tragic view of thousands of wounded soldiers lying unattended at a railroad station still maintain the scope and visual impact.

The film's appeal goes deeper than this, however. It begins retaining the original flavor of Margaret Mitchell's novel recreating southern life during the war years and the postwar era, and includes the all-star cast featuring Leslie Howard, Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel and the work of directors Victor Fleming and George Cukor. Yet, the man really responsible for the film's enduring success is producer David O. Selznick, who brought it all together with precise attention to every detail, down to personally overseeing the editing of the film's final print. As a result, while we are aware the "GWTW" is not a true picture of the Civil War South, we also know it is a picture of the way it should have been.

As might be expected, "GWTW" is not being given a clear field for the weekend audience. Going up against it is another excellent and very powerful film, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," NBC, Sunday night at 8 (ET). This arresting adaptation of the fine Ken Kesey seriocomic novel stars Jack Nicholson as a free-living, take-no-guff individual who, sentenced to six months in the slammer, gets himself transferred to a state mental hospital for observation and what he believes to be an easy time. His assumption that looney bin life is better than the prison farm daily routine crashes when he comes up against Louise Fletcher, an authoritarian ward nurse who has succeeded in destroying all her charges' spirit with a frightening tyranny. Not as heavy in dramatic terms, but still surprisingly good, is the made-for-television biography ABC, Sunday night at 8 (ET).

Executive producer Dick Clark and producer-writer Anthony Lawrence have done their best to present a balanced portrait of the public image of the late singer Elvis Presley and his offstage background and life. While it has its moments of playing up Presley the entertainer, the production is at its best in dramatizing his rise from poverty and obscurity to wealth, unparalled popularity and an addiction for the spotlight that in his later years led to bouts of depression, alienation of friends and the end of his marriage. A prelude to the biography is offered by the network on "Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll" ABC, tonight at9(ET). Jeff Bridges is the narrator of this fast-moving, high-energy, two-hour documentary skillfully assembled from film clips and television tape excerpts of rock music stars and groups spanning 25 years between Bill Haley and Bruce Springsteen. Mixed in with the artists performance which include some previously unseen footage are clips detailing the payola days, the twist with Chubby Checker, Presley's original screen test and induction into the Army, promotor Phil Spector and rock festivals.
