(Joined In Progress) Barely visible beneath the titillation and gimmickry, Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari are two wild and funny guys. It takes concentration and an open mind to recognize their wacky potential, but it's there for determined viewers to discover. ABC's "Bosom Buddies," in which Hanks and Scolari portray Kip and Henry respectively, was one of the season's predictable casualties.

But, according to the network's entertainment chief, Tony Thomopoulos, the series is "still under consideration for the future." If fortune shines, what this foggy statement could mean Is that the series will be overhauled to highlight the complimentary talents of Hanks and Scolari and get rid of all that excess female flesh and "drag" clothing. The original concept for the series, which can be witnessed in tonight's repeat of the pilot episode (at 7:30 p.m. on KVUE-TV, Channel 24), is a thinly veiled and poorly developed rip-off of "Some Like It Hot," with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis disguised as women to hide from gangsters. In the TV series, Kip and Henry are forced into drag for economic reasons when their cheap apartment is demolished. Amy (Wendy Jo Sperber), who has a crush on Henry and works for the same ad agency, helps sneak them into an apartment in her cheap building, which happens to be the Susan B.

Anthony Hotel for Women. Kip lusts after Amy's roommate, Sonny (Donna Dixon), the obligatory busty blonde, and Henry envisions a best-selling book about their bizarre experience. The drag gag gets old half-way through the half-hour pilot, but a glimmer of hope has blossomed into full-scale promise during the season. Hanks and Scolari have that much-talked about but seldom seen magic quality referred to as "chemistry." The ease with which these fellows bounce lines off each other comes from a real-life closeness or incredible instinct. Whatever the source, they Aavethat special "chemistry." We see this kind of made-to-order comedy pairing all too rarely.

The last bona fide TV comedy duo may have been Jack Klugman and Tony Randall in "The Odd Couple," consum- :00 GD (DODO CD 5 News (EO Studio See "8MX" A New Jersey teen coaches kids in mo-tocross; spectacular sand sculptures; the rare flight of a solar balloon.

If Hanks and Scolari had been blessed with material that was a fraction of the quality of "The Odd Couple" scripts, who knows what they could have done? They almost accomplished the impossible feat of rising above the shabby scripts of "Bosom Buddies," but the handicap was just too great. We can look for the results of the overhauled version when replacement series are needed which should be soon, The No. 1 news team in Austin has held onto its newly acquired throne.

According to the preliminary Nielsen ratings for July, KVUE-TV, Channel 24's "Action News" won the period by about the same margin that toppled KTBC-TV, Channel 7, from its longstanding lead in May. For the 6 p.m. edition, Channel 24 earned a 17 rating and a 35 share, compared with a 14 rating and 30 share for Channel 7. KTVV-TV, Channel 36, shows no sign of relinquishing last place, with a 7 rating and a 16 share. For the 10 p.m.

newscasts, Channel 24 earned a 1634, Channel 7 a 1227 and Channel 36 an 818. WAV FARM PRODUCTS INC. 2519 EAST 5th ST. i Soectmm4 1 SAVE 50 SALE PRICE! Factory Sug.
