By JON BURLINGAME United Feature Syndicate CBS introduces two new half-hour comedies, and if their debut episodes are any indication, neither will be around for long. "Live-In" (8) is one of the worst sitcom ideas any network has had for a long time.

A New Jersey couple (Kimberly Farr, Hugh Maguire) hires a beautiful Australian girl (Lisa Patrick) as their live-in housekeeper. The libido of their teenage son (Chris Young, who played the computer genius on "Max shifts into overdrive. WIBWilWCTBMI The first episode is TV tOniSfht filled w'tn tawdry sex jokes, leering teenagers and offensive bathroom-peeking scenes right outof'Porky's." "Heartland" (8:30) returns Brian Keith to the sitcom format, which originally made him a household name with the 1960s series "Family Affair." This time he's that old television staridby, the crusty-but-lovable family patriarch. A longtime Nebraska farmer, he now lives with his daughter and son-in-law (Kathleen' Layman, Richard Gilliland) and their thregjrids. He claims to have all the answers and tells tall tales nobody believes.

The debut show centers on a tornado that threatens to destroy the farm. Keith is well cast, but there is nothing funny about the plight of a Midwestern farmer about to go under. Other highlights "War and Peacein the Nuclear Age" (CPTV, Channel 24 in the Hartford area, at 9) exam-inespresident Carter's changing view of nuclear strategy and foreign policy concerning the Soviet Union. Par two of "The Women of Brewster Place" (ABC at 9) follows the fortunes of Mattie and friends, who are mostly beaten down by life's cruej, turns. Oprah Winfrey, Jackee, Robin Given's and Lonette McKee turn in the best performances.

He's also Mur- phyriddate for a Washington event, i "Lgsperado: Avalanche at Devil's Ridge" is repeated (NBC at 9). The always excellent Rod I Steiger stars in the third and best install-! merit of the Western series thus far, playing a powerful landowner who hires McCall (Alex i McArthur) to find his kidnapped daughter. Broadcast journalist Linda Ellerbee brings her eye for the offbeat to CNN in tlie first of three essays per week. The essays will be broadcast on Monday, Wednesday and Friday (9 a.m., 4 p.m., 8 p.m.

and midnight). For detailed listings and complete cable programs, see TV Week in the Sunday Cou-rant. For special sports programming and highlights, see Page 2 of the Sports section today.
