Storms roamed early today across southern Kansas, northwest Oklahoma, western Texas and southeastern Colorado, said Bill Sammler, a forecaster at the Severe Storms Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Cool air sweeping south from Canada was colliding with hot air out of the Southwest to create a diagonal line of storms from Texas to northern Michigan which was moving southeastward today, the weather service said. In Wisconsin, about 15,000 customers suffered through their second straight night without power -early today after their lines were downed 'in storms late Monday. Five thousand more homes lost power Tuesday night, Wisconsin Electric Power Co. said.

So it's natural that he'd act like a father sometimes proud, sometimes disappointed when he talks about the prograln he no longer works on, or even watches. Told recently that the marriage of characters Frank Furillo and Joyce Davenport was unraveling, Kozoll expressed shock: "Good grief, no! Parents are always the last ones to know." One moment, the show's co-creator will express admiration for how NBC's award-winning series has risen above the medium's measured medicority. "Just being able to sustain it is a Herculean task. The guys have done a wonderful job." But, in the next breath, he'll say, "but it's not what I would have done.

It aggravated me to sit and watch it." His vision of "Hill Street" clashed with that of co-creator and executive producer Steven Bochco, and he left the series, now entering its fifth year, late in its second season. He still gets a weekly on- air credit and a royalty paycheck. "Getting money in the mail is a wonderful thing," he said. He left because of creative differences and the drain of doing weekly TV. "Lnever-was going to stay only did the pilot as a favor to Grant Tinker (then head of MTM Enterprises and now chairman of NBC)." "I wasn't real fond 6f TV," he said.

"My real interest is writing movies." He also prefers working alone. 'Writing 'Hill Street' was such a collective endeavor, and I didn't find that very When asked about their relation ship, Bochco said, "It was good, bad and in between, as it always is in any intensive ensemble work' miss his I've never worked with anybody like Michael. I think he made a lot of what we did special. Whatever anger there was in the process, the wonderfulness prevails, and I choose to believe that Michael left because he always, was going to Unlike Bochco. Kozoll didn't have an extensive TV background.

Kozoll wanted "Hill Street Blues" to smash the TV barriers, while Bochco mly wanted to extend them. "Steven was an old television horse, and he had a mindset of what TV ought to be," said Kozoll. "TV people create TV the way they think it ought to be, rather than MICHAEL KOZOLL Ua'o ritviff niAiriac! tinw just go out and make the best shows they can. "My vision and it was probably unrealistic was that I wanted 'Hill Street Blues' to be irreverent, funnier and always changing. I didn't want 14 regular, steady characters.

I wanted them to do six shows, eight shows and then die or disappear. "I know this may all be unrealistic, but I wanted to shoot the show with black-and-white hand-held cameras: I had to fight to keep speeches out of the show. In the real world, people don't make speeches." K6ToUsa1dTMsh6w wentTroHT "irreverent and quasi-political, almost, a black comedy, to, a psycho-sexual encounter It became a little shrill and more comfortable with psychotherapy than sociology." He didn't like the way Sgt. Phil Esterhaus was killed off last season, a twist made necessary -because -of-the death of, actor-Michael Conrad. Esterhaus died while making love.

"What would have been more. Kozoll, "is if he -had--said there would be no more sex Until she agreed to marry him, and then he died walking out the door. If you're going to make it funny, make it funny." Since leaving TV, Kozoll has been working at home on movie scripts. He did the screenplay for Sylvester -Stallone's iTirst BloodlLand wrote-two unfilmed scripts for MTM: "Natural Acts" expresses a cynical view of friendship and "Women at Lunch" is about the importance of friendship. Kozoll says he has no regrets even when "Hill Street" wins its annual batch of Emmys.

"I root for the show to do well," he said. "But, to tell you the truth, I don't watch the Emmys, either." River news RIVER STAGES -Writ- Hl." 16.4 27.0 17.4 06.4 34.6 13.1 23.8 20.3 34.P 28.5 33.9 19.2 Chg. 0.1 Ro. Pittsburgh 25 Cincinnati 52 EvansviUe 35 Mt. Carmel 16 Chattanooga 51 0.
