1 and the fact that the opposition will be mostly reruns may bolster their chances in the ratings gamey The new series are committed for 13 wejXs, which will take them into the summer season. What happens after that depends upon audience acceptance. If well received, the shows may be rewarded with a regular-season appointment. If not, they will slip quietly into obscurity, as summer shows and series that fail to survive midstream network shufflings usually do. Cliff De Young, the star of "Sunshine," is confident that it will be well-received.

A former singer and composer, he is a quiet and composed young man, full of confidence and firm convictions. "My life is not predicated on the series," he says forthrightly. "I know my work is good and I know it will be one of the best shows to go on this season." Elizabeth Cheshire plays the little girl Jill. The pilot was a film seen last year, a sad story of a young woman dying of cancer who extracts a promise from the young musician that he will look after her daughter. The series deals with the young man's struggles to become the child's guardian, as well as efforts to keep his musical career alive.

The contemporary music will be raggy, De Young explains, just as it would sound in rehearsal As for Bob Crane, whose public image has been kept alive by years of "Hogans Heroes," reruns, he says he feels the show is in the Mary Tyler Moore comedy mold, taking a warm, humorous look at real situations. Demosthenes on "Kojak" really Telly Savalas' brother? N. S. D. i Yes.

His real name is George. By DAN LEWIS After all these years the television networks have finally recognized the fact that there are four seasons to every year. Consequently, in addition to the traditional September premiere season, the mid or second season in January or February, and the summer-replacement period, viewers are about to be offered the spring or third season. The innovators of the third season are NBC-TV which' premiered two new series last Thursday and- CBS-TV, forced into the act by the cancellation of "Kahn!" There have been experiments in launching new situation-comedy series 1 as summer replacement shows, but never as springtime springboards. The new NBC shows are "Siinshine" from p.m., a story about a struggling young musician and his adopted daughter whose mother has died, and "The Bob Crane Show" from 7 30-8 p.m., with Crane playing a successful, past-40 insurance salesman who gives it all up to go to medical school.

CBS's entries will be "We'll Get By," created and written by Alan Alda, and a series of comedy pilots run under the umbrella title of "The Friday Night Comedy Specials." The pilots will take the spot with "We'll Get By" following from 7:30 to 8. Both shows debut Friday. As for the decision to give the now third-season shot, the rationale is quite simple: It is an experiment that takes care of earlier commitments; it offers a possibility that could create new excitment in programming another season Pilot Knob First Bap- (12) tist. 8:45 P.M.

Consequently, Hunter has really dug into his television commitment in his new contract with Paramount Pictures. He's working on eight development projects for TV at the moment. In "Woman in Jeopardy," Shirley Jones plays a widow who witnessed the political assassination of her husband, and helps track down the killers. Miss -Jones, who starred for five seasons as the mother of a singing brood in "The Partridge Family," says she's available if the two-hour movie goes into a series.

"I love doing a series," Miss Jones declared. "I feel just the opposite of those who complain about TV. The stability of a series is marvelous. I've done all the other things."

NBC By DAN LEWIS HOLLYWOOD Television has acquired a new convert from movieland. It's Ross Hunter, who once vowed on a stack of box-office receipts that he would never venture into television, the same Ross Hunter who saw me walk into a network reception a year ago at Chasen's and yelled, "Traitor!" which was how he felt about anyone who acknowledged TV's existence. This is the same Ross Hunter who produced "Airport," a picture that grossed nearly $200 million, and led to "Airport "75," the same Ross Hunter who produced nearly 50 films for theatrical release, with nary a box-office loser until he decided to make a musical out of "Lost Horizon." "Television is the place to be," Hunter declared after NBC announced that Hunter, now associated with Paramount Pictures, will produce a pilot movie. "Woman in Jeopardy," starring Shirley Jones. "I now believe the motion picture industry is tapestry and television is people, and you can create the real exciting things today in television," declared Hunter.
