Evening Newt Moneylin CNN ByPhilKloer Television critic "Twin Peaks" is about to answer the big question. No, not who killed Laura Palmer.

The more important quss-tion is: Can the acclaimed cult favorite maintain acceptable ratings on the least-watched night of television, given that its big season premiere last weekend was considered a huge disappointment? According to Nielsen, only 31 percent of "Peaks' primary audience (adults 18 to 49) watches TV on Saturday nights. But ABC believes that many people aren't watching because there's nothing on worth watching. It's a chicken-and-egg problem: For several years, the networks haven't wanted to waste their best shows on Saturdays, which drives viewers even further into the loving embrace of their local Blockbuster Videos. So ABC is playing "chicken" with Peakies, almost daring them to put up or shut up. And the show is laying an egg.

In Sunday's two-hour premiere, director David Lynch seemed as if he was spoofing himself, with dumb, pointless plot twists such as turning the hair of Laura's father white overnight and making him prance around idiotically singing "Mairzy Doats." The overwhelming evidence of the "Peaks" premiere was that the show has teased its fans for too long. It's not so much the slowness to name Laura's murderer, whose face we finally saw in the closing seconds (it's the same long-haired guy Laura's mom saw in a vision last season, not any of the regular cast). "Twin Peaks" can take forever to solve Laura's murder and at this rate, it probably will. But it can't move like a tired glacier the way Sunday's show did, lingering forever on boring Rendezvous World Monitor Carriers Beyond 2000 Wild Things The return ol the Firepower 'Hitler: The Whole Story' (Parti) From Monkeys Wildlife Chroni cles DISC ospreyroscotiano. ia towpes America's Wilderness No SportsLook SportsCenter SpeedWeek SportsCenter Major League Baseball NFL's Greatest Moments Fantastic Finishes Scholastic Sports Amer.

TV COMMENTARY "Twin Peaks" 10 p.m. Saturday on WSBChannel 2 scenes with no payoff, such as the opening sequence, in which Cooper, gunned down in last season's cliffhanger, lies on his hotel room floor and lies there and lies there.

The show did reasonably well in the ratings, finishing second in its time slot to a Perry Mason movie on NBC, beating CBS's movie "The Face of Fear." But viewer disgruntlement and the move to Saturdays make this next episode the most crucial ever for "Twin Peaks." If "Twin Peaks" can turn it around Saturday and deliver an episode that has the impact of last season's shows, it stands a chance. If it continues in the premiere's frustrating manner, even its most loyal fans are going to desert it. During Sunday's episode, ABC ran a promotional ad for its new Saturday night lineup Young Riders," "China Beach" and with actors playing network executives fretting about the risky programming move. "Save Our Jobs," the clever ad implored. Never mind saving the jobs of ABC programmers.

Save "Twin Peaks." There always will be more programmers. There will never be another "Twin Peaks." neisn.

The Associated Press NEW YORK CBS flushed "E.A.R.T.H, Force" into hiatus Thursday and put low-rated working-class hero "Lenny" on indefinite hold as it became the first network this fall to shake up its prime-time schedule. CBS also sped "The Flash," its superhero action show, away from a direct clash Thursday (( A) night against Fox's "The Simpsons" and NBC's "The Cosby Show," which are expected to battle for supremacy in prime time's first half-hour. "E.A.R.T.H. Force," an environmental action show, failed in the ratings and with critics, who complained that it was underwritten and overacted.

"Lenny," which stars Lenny Clarke and ranked 78th last week, will be moved to a time to be. announced. CBS News' "48 Hours" will move from Saturday into the vacated "Lenny" slot on Oct. 24. Instead of airing at 8 p.m., "The Flash" will move to 8:30 p.m.

CBS said it hopes to capture younger viewers with the move away from the "Simpsons" and "Cosby." "Top Cops," the reality-based police action drama, will move into the 8 p.m. slot. "Doctor, Doctor" will move from Wednesday nights to follow "The Flash." CBS also announced: i The Oct. 25 premiere of "Sons and Daughters," a multi-generational family drama, will be delayed. "Wiseguy," starring Ste- ven Bauer, will return Saturday, Nov.

17, with a two-hour season premiere before moving to its 10 p.m. time slot. "Broken Badges," about a unit composed of psychologically and emotionally troubled police officers, will begin with a two-hour special Nov. 24 before moving to its regular Saturday night slot.
