Mary is facing the prospect of succeeding in a musical-variety series, the toughest format in television.

Julie Andrews, Glen Campbell, Jim Nabors, Helen Reddy, the Smothers Brothers, Redd Foxx, the Captain and Tennile are among those who tried to beat the odds and failed. Mary, however, says most such shows were built around people! from the music world. Mary will rely heavily on comedy but she also will sing and dance in the new series, titled "Mary." Tanned and slender in snug blue jeans and a white blouse, Mary sipped iced tea in her Bel Air home the other day, taking a breather after completing the fourth show of her series. i Show Gets Easier "I don't know how Carol Burnett did it for 11 years," she sighed. "I'm told a weekly variety show gets easier as you go along.

At least that's what Carol said 1 when I conferred with her about the show. 1 i "She was a big help. We share a lack of confidence when it comes to singing. She said the worst moment is doing the dress rehearsal in front of the death watch that's when the producers, the director and the writers sit down to study what we're doing. X- "She was right.

I wanted to open a vein. But by the second dress rehearsal I was much better. When we actually did the show, I became a real singing person. It worked out just great." 1 Mary has a different look about her. The long hair has been clipped to give her a gamin appearance.

She no longer looks like the Mary Richards of the old "Mary Tyler Moore" sitcom. 'Real Life' Mary Not that Mary is making a conscious effort tn destroy the image she established on that show and as Laura Petrie in the "Dick Van Dyke Show." To the contrary, Mary likes to think people who enjoyed her work in both series will see there isn't all that much difference between the real life Mary and the two characters she made so popular "Mary Richards is essentially m5," she said "But I have many facets and I am trying to show them all in the new show. i me same oiena ana gentle tasie in a longer length.

I -spend a few minutes talking to the audience during the course of the hour.

And it came as a surprise to me that I was comfortable and relaxed. A New "And I refer to Grant (Grant Tinker, Mary's husband) a lot. He's liable to become the 'Fang' of 1978. "I'm making the adjustment from situation comedy to this new format. It was easier doing the same character every week because all you had to do was memorize the lines.

"I don't have the luxury of formulating a character and staying with her. I knew Mary Richards so well I never had to think about her. "Now I'll be playing from three to seven different characters every week. There isn't time to clearly build a character. Each sketch is short so you have to define the character immediately.

Carol was wonderful at doing that." It's been a year and a half since "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" left the air. During that time, Mary did a CBS special and a TV movie, "First You Cry," taken from Betty Rollins' dramatic story of her mastectomy and how it altered her life. "Before we started the new show I had five months off," Mary said. "I was bored because, like so many people in show business, I never developed other interests. "I do very little entertaining.

I don't cook or garden. I don't go out to lunch with the girls. And how much tennis can you play? "I'm not a real workaholic, but I thrive on work. This show is at least four times as difficult and time consuming as anything I've done before. I'm not complaining.

I can't remember when I've enjoyed work more." New Anchor Team For Channel 13 Starting next month, WTHR CD, will have a male-female co-anchor team on its early and late night news shows. Mary Ann Childers, now at WAVE, Louisville, will be the female half of the team. The anchor man has not yet been signed.

'Too Much Time In Front Of TV' LOS ANGELES (AP) Black children spend too much time in front of the television "victimizing their self-image and identity," a psychologist told the National Urban League's 68th annual conference: "Television has much in common with the process of brain-washing, hypnosis and addiction," Nathan Hare said yesterday during a discussion on the media image of Blacks.
