B2 THE HARTFORD COURANT: Saturdoy, April 15, 1989 TELEVISION SATURDAY PRIME-TIME BROADCAST LINEUP A slow trip 'Around the World'; Tarzan comes to the Big Apple By JON BURLINGAME United Feature Syndicate "Around the World in 80 Days" (NBC, Sunday at 9) ranks as one of the season's biggest disappointments. This $16 million, six-hour miniseries, to be broadcast Sunday through Tuesday, only seems like 80 days. Key casting is admittedly perfect: "Remington Steele" 's Pierce Brosnan plays the always-punctual aristocrat Phileas Fogg, who wagers 30,000 pounds that he can circumnavigate the world in under three months; Eric Idle plays his French manservant Passepartout; Julia Nickson plays the Indian princess they rescue from death; and Peter Ustinov plays the private detective who follows them, believing that Fogg robbed the Bank of England. Unlike Mike Todd classic 1956 film, this was shot on locations including England, Yugoslavia, Thailand TV this weekend P.M. 6:00 6:30 7:30 8:00 8:30 I 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00 11:30 (T) WC8S (CSS) Mirthwor, News News Wheel Paradise Movie: "Tarzan In Manhattan" News WGBH (PBS) Workshop La Plaza DeGrassi Bodywatch World At War National Geographic American Playhouse Minneapolis Sound Wf SB (CSS) News News Lifestyles Paradise Movie: "Tarzan In Manhattan" News Ent, Week (T) (TflC) Baseball Cont'd Sheriff Superboy 227 Amen Girls Boys Hunter News Sat.

and Hong Kong, so it is colorful. But this Jules Verne adaptation is rarely amusing and never the grand adventure it should be. "A Deadly Silence" (ABC, Sunday at 9), is a dispassionate study of the 1986 murder of a Long Island man who, courtroom testimony revealed, sexually abused his 16-year-old daughter until she paid a classmate to shoot him. Newcomer Heather Fairfield gives a remarkable performance as Cheryl Pierson, who was sentenced to six months in jail and five years probation for her role in the murder. Mike Farrell plays Pierson's lawyer, and former "Hill Street Blues" actors Bruce Weitz and Charles Haid play a detective and the victim respectively.

The complexity of the issues makes for a sad and intriguing true-life drama. i Stefanie Powers' newest, "Love and Betrayal" (CBS, Sunday at 9), is another woman's point-of-view divorce story. David Birney plays the husband who walks out on his wife after 20 years and two kids. Completely unprepared for the shock, she reacts in disbelief and later stunned complacency. Amanda Peterson F'A Year in the is fine as their teenage daughter and Fran Drescher has a few funny moments as Powers' best friend, Don't expect any "Me Tarzan, you Jane" dialogue in "Tarzan in Manhattan" (CBS, Saturday at 9).

The latest film incarnation of dgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero speaks fluent English (and a little French), which places him more in the realm of well-educated J60s TV Tarzan Ron Ely than in that of the fondly remembered '30s and '40s movie Tarzan Johnny Weissmuller. Tarzan's chimp companion Cheetah is abducted from the African jungles, leading the Ape Lord to Manhattan, where he meets a taxi-driving Jane (Kim Crosby), her security-ex-Ipert father (Tony Curtis) and a mad scientist conducting animal experiments (Jan-Michael. -Vincent).

'Rebel Eclectic, schizophrenic, fall collections offer something for every body and style $at Long 7' VYllCUl Ariimal prints are in evidence for fall, and they are usually quite frankly fake. Carolina Herrera has brought out more fake animal prints and furs than ever before. Joe Urla, left, plays an inexperienced journalist whose misreporting provokes trouble in an African country, and Alan Scarfe acts as his bureau chief in Mark Lee's "Rebel Armies Deep into Chad," which opened Friday at Long Wharf Theatre's Stage II. Long Wharf literary associate John Tillinger directs the world-premiere I production, which runs through May 21. Ticket information is 1 available from the Long Wharf box office at 222 Sargent Drive, New Haven, or by calling 787-4282.

All Long Wharf Theatre ing evening coat. Ralph Lauren, adhering to his old-, money, gracious-living standard, also came up with some great coats: long Indian blanket or paisley wool bathrobe wraps and a series of black evening coats, which may become new adjuncts to a formal especially when paired with Lauren's stark black silk evening dresses (strapless, halter-necked, etc.) worn only with diamond stud earrings and tennis bracelets. Oscar de la Renta is, as always, a master of the grand evening, and this applies to his evening coats as well. They are nothing short of works of art of quilted multicolored silk faille, lined with gilded silk jac-quard. They are flared and, bound in stitched rows of satin, look ever-so-slightly Japanese.

Nobody is showing much black this season, which has encouraged designers to offer some lovely alternatives. De la Renta worked with mulberry, claret and chocolate brown for day. Ronaldus Shamask put his name to the most original collection of any "establishment" designer to launch a collection week. His most original item was the white cotton T-shirt dickey he used under fitted black jackets and tunics with scoop necklines. He showed the close-fitting tops with body-conscious skirts that flared at the hemline or narrow, cropped pants.

Betsey Johnson steps back two decades with a collection that includes bell-bottoms, hip-huggers, hot pants and micro-minis in floral, folkloric and paisley prints and just for good measure fabrics decorated with peace symbols. No one does the '60s look better than Johnson, in part because she helped create it the first time around. And the development of new fibers such as spandex gives Johnson's clothes movement they never had before. While Johnson seems to be looking back, Louis Dell'Olio definitely has his eye on the future. In his relatively new Anne Klein Dresses collection, he offers sophisticated, wearable outfits for the ladies who labor as well as the ladies who lunch.

Although the collection is a dress line, you have to look closely to be sure, as Dell'Olio often achieves the look of a suit or a two-piece outfit by using contrasting colors, a mix of materials or simple, expert tailoring. Many of the trademark looks the Anne Klein customer has come to love can be found, including wrap tops, draped necklines, curved waistlines and sarong skirts. Continued from Page Bl as Jacobs' interpretations of preppy looks that Ellis did so well. In other shows this week, cat-suits, tights and skinny stirrup pants provide the covering needed for legs under the short skirts that are being brought to the runways here and in Europe. Major designers including Bill Blass, Carolina Hen-era, Charlotte Neuville and Rebecca Moses were telling us that short is what they want.

Although they all offer some longer skirts and plenty of trousers, they are definitely not finished with the youthful look of a skirt that ends above the knee. Animal prints and animal textures are in evidence for fall, and they are usually quite frankly fake. Herrera, who recently declared that she will not work in animal skins again, has brought out more fake animal prints and furs and skins than she ever has before. The best are her leopard-print draped cocktail dresses with velvet jackets cut to resemble mink and the little hip yokes of sequined leopard print worn over cranberry matte jersey pajama pants and blouses. She has embossed silk skirts to look like crocodile or ostrich and made "motorcycle" jackets in velvet, studded and appli-qued in gold thread, patterned after those of her friend Robert Mapple-thorpe, the late photographer.

Rebecca Moses was the first to hop, ever so discreetly, back on the short-skirt bandwagon, with gabardine jackets over short skirts over Tasmanian ribbed wool cat-suits. Remember Diana Rigg in "The You get the picture. Moses showed lots of flattering pants and basic sweaters. You know that old pair of slacks and the favorite turtleneck in your closet? They looked like that. But in the new shades of charcoal, reddish brown and purple.

For day, designers such as Moses are choosing the "ruana," a squared-off wool knit poncho that wraps around almost the entire body. That, along with the many varieties of hooded knit coats and Neuville's short, rounded fox fur "chub" jackets over slim pants, ought to make fall a very cozy time. There were longer lengths and the pyramid dress at Bill Blass' show, also. Blass did his usual array of classic fall sportswear, camel coats, pin-striped jersey luncheon suit, crisscross halter and strapless lace velvet and chiffon gown. The leopard print is favored at Blass, too, where full-length coats, short wrap skirts and long evening skirts in Lurex leopard-print lame crepe are slit to the waist and worn want improved child-care system with cashmere sweater sets.

Charlotte Neuville put her fez on, right on top of slightly oversized jackets, slim pants and full trousers. The Moroccan influence thankfully was kept to a bare minimum with just exotic earrings and sock hats over the occasional Nehru jacket and pleated cropped trousers. Neuville called it a maharini jacket. Calvin Klein's show was a gray cloud on the Fall '89 horizon. Klein took the term earth-tone to heart with a nice 'n' neutral collection.

Oodles of investment blazers and worth-the-bucks jackets. Leg loads of riding jodhpurs and strolling trousers. Some jodhpurs in suede and quilted fabric. Nicely shaped skirts not too short about three inches above the knee, worn with opaque tights. Everyone approved of Klein's polished evening looks: sedately sequined bronze dresses and sober brown evening suits with sheer T-shirts.

Adrienne Vittadini, true to form, is taking European trends and converting them into wearable American knits. Usually that's enough to guarantee a good line, but this time she transcended herself and came up with one of the best collections shown in New York. Vittadini showed long pullovers, leggings and matching big shawls a combo that may well become next fall's uniform. She does them in winter white and light brown heather, colors that reverse in the shawl. Mary Ann Restivo, long known for well-tailored career clothes with some zest, received a standing ovation for well-thought-out curvy jackets, flaring short coats and chief-executive-officer-style dresses, each one more wearable than the next.

Michael Kors makes sportswear that is young at heart and high in price. He belts his gray flannel shorts and pants with leather laces like those found on Top-Sider boat shoes. Extra-short is his preferred hem length and gray is his color of choice: For evening he substitutes shiny gunmetal metallic for gray flannel in tunics, jumpsuits (a Kors forte) and a wonderful floor-sweep leased with the poll results said. "The multiple dependencies means parents are scrambling much of the time to make arrangements." The random telephone survey was based on a national cross-section of 4,050 adults 2,009 of them parents of children ages 6 and under. The results showed: 53 percent of parents surveyed said the child-care system works 'somewhat well," and 38 percent said 'not very well" or 'not very well at all." 89 percent think 'employers should be encouraged to adopt flex-time and part-time work schedules and job-sharing among mothers of new children." 80 percent say employers 'should be encouraged to help develop joint community care centers, financed and run partly by the public and partly by the private sector." 78 percent believe "employers should be encouraged to provide emergency child-care services." 90 percent agree with the proposition that employers should be encouraged to include parental leave as a standard benefit that parents, especially mothers, receive.

Combined Wire Services Only 8 percent of parents of young Children believe the child-care system in the United States works "very swell," according a nationwide poll 'jinade public this week. Zi And an overwhelming 87 percent -juf all adults surveyed said there 'must be a joint effort between private employers and all levels of government to meet child-care needs. I Despite the high cost of child care, Z-ihe American public believes that youngsters today have it worse than jever before, the survey shows. "Most parents are in such desperate need for quality day care, they'll extraordinarily high sums of TJmoney," said pollster Louis Harris, whose company conducted the survey. But, he added, "The dominant view is that most children in the U.S.

today are shortchanged." .3 The survey, commissioned by Philip Morris Cos. and conducted by Louis Harris and Associates, shows public believes a national must be made for affordable, quality child care, Harris said. "The federal government has to take 'some initiative." Other major findings in the study of American attitudes toward children and child care included a "strong and clear" national mandate favoring parental leave in the workplace and an underlying "deep unease" on the part of adults about the general quality of life of children in this country, Harris said. 'Child care in this country is barely tolerable and working mothers and affluent groups are the most unhappy," Harris said. Harris said some families are spending up to half their income on child care, and the poor are paying almost as much as the wealthiest.

While American families with children age 6 and under spend, on the average, $2,280 a year for child care, blacks pay $3,906, not much less than the $3,984 paid by parents with incomes of $50,000 or more. Single mothers also tend to pay higher amounts, at $2,532. Some child-care experts noted that blacks tend to live in urban areas, where day care is more expensive. "The average parent uses between two and three support services during working hours," a summary re.
