fAs Stalin's rule progressed, less vyas needed to set him off. On one day, says his biographer, Stalin sgned death warrants for more than 3j000 people. "This was not repression, this was terror," says Stephen Princeton. "Nobody was guilty," so nobody was safe." The death count doubles in the third week as the Soviet Union enters-World War II and loses another people. The series suggests that many of them wouldn't htoe died if Stalin hadn't killed off his top military people.

It also charges Stalin with taking credit for the military successes while blaming t(T military defeats on others. (Rightly or wrongly, "Stalin" reverses that trend, blaming him for ap the failures and crediting others fjrthe successes.) JThe one failing of the series is that it doesn't answer whether Stalin was the inevitable result of the Russian revolution or an aberration. At lest "Stalin" puts the question on the-; stable. History rarely seems as lively as it is in "Stalin." Or as deadly -j. $ock 'n' roll rarely seems more alive than when the Rolling Stones are singing it If you missed the live pay-per-view presentation of their Atlantic City concert, by all means catch up with the 94-minute version from 8 to 10 tonight on Channel 25 anWCGY-FM.

Sunday. Previously scheduled "Prizzi's Honor" will air June 10. DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Patch and Channel 4, is the latest attempt to fuse stand-up and situation comedy. It almost works. Jerry Seinfeld, a Jewish Jay Leno, is the likable protagonist who, like Garry Shandling, Kayla caught up to Sheila, who threatened to jump off a bridge and take baby Stephanie with her.

Cal ordered Eve to break up Kimberly plays himself. Instead of addressing the television audience in asides, he addresses a studio audience in his and Shane.

"Seinfeld" alternates between ca-teness and contrivance.

The interior monologue is reminiscent of Woody Allen's in "Annie Hall," though that's hardly the worst place to steal from. "Seinfeld" doesn't break any new ground, but it's the best transition from "Cheers" to "LA Law" that NBC has come up with. Next September it's back to the worst, Daniel and Charles faced off. Ruth helped Helen, who tried to commit suicide. "Grand," so if you're into repeats of "Cheers" and "L.A.
