The Record from Hackensack, New Jersey • 66

TELEVISION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 19911 6-16 THE RECORD Evil' is good and plenty nasty Hall of Famers recognized for their small-screen work 10:30 p.m. Tuesdays. ABC I Yd I From The Record's news services The "I Love Lucy" television series and one of its stars, the late Deai Arnaz, were inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame during a ceremony at which his children accepted his award. James Garner, the late Leonard Bernstein, the late Danny Thomas, and Mike Wallace also were honored Monday as new TV Hall of Famers.

Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. accepted the honor for their father, said Tony Angel-lotti, a spokesman for the television academy. The brother and sister recounted how their own childhoods were reflected on their par DESI ARNAZ In Hall of Fame tubes in her lab with his misguided cane. This extended slapstick routine is funny at first, but wears out its welcome. As of late Tuesday, ABC planned to include the scene, despite the fact that the National Federation of the Blind last week asked the network to delete it.

(ABC's Standards and Practices Department responded, in part, that the series "is an exaggerated parody of life, with the most outrageous caricatures imaginable. Not one character in this series is intended to be realistic and Like the rest of the world, the girls' mother, Charlotte (Broadway actress Marian Seldes) favors Genny. Denise wonders why she gets a handshake, while mom kisses her sister on both cheeks. "She needs it more than you. She's a sensitive, vulnerable' girl, and you're a bitch," mom says flatly- Seldes, Garr, and the others make delightful caricatures.

There are lots of jokes that aren't funny enough to compensate for their crudeness. Yet, this fractured fairy tale may appeal to those with a sense of humor that's a little bent. her own, more abrasive formulas into mother's shipments. Denise's assistant, Roger (Sherman Howard) points out that some people's faces have totally dissolved. Unconcerned, Denise wearing rubber gloves to protect her own hide slathers the cream, first on her "swarthy" secretary, Mary (Mary Gillis), then on the sensitive-skinned Roger, who runs from the room shrieking, "111 look like Bette Davis at the end." His discomfort is the least of her problems.

Denise's disenchanted physician-lover Eric (Lane Da-vies) tells her "I'm not ready to be tied down." "Except in bed," Denise chirps. Eric soon meets Denise's microbiologist sister, Genny (Margaret Whitton), who's so saintly she tests vaccines on herself rather than on lab animals. "How incredibly stupid of you," remarks Eric, who is nonetheless smitten. So is the aforementioned blind man, George (Mark Blankfield), a university psychiatrist who lost his sight in a recent accident. He says things like, "We blind develop our other senses to compensate," before breaking most of the test ent's show when the "Little Ricky" character was introduced, he said.

Their mother, the late Lucille Ball, previously was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Vintage footage of the legendary "Lucy" show, including snippets from the pilot, and other moments from the careers of the five new Hall of Famers were shown at the ceremony at the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel. "I Love Lucy" producer Jess Oppenheimer's widow, Estelle, and original writers Madelyn Pugh-Davis and Bob Carroll Jr. accepted the award for the CBS show. It was the first show ever inducted into the Hall of Fame.

James Garner, best known for his longtime series "The Rock-ford Files," accepted the honor from Rod Steiger. Morley Safer gave TV reporter Mike Wallace his award and Wallace gave conductor Bernstein's award to daughter Jamie Bernstein. Mario, Terre, and Tony Thomas accepted their father's award from Sheldon Leonard. Terl Garr, left, and Margaret Whit-ton play two opposite sisters. Rolex," he says.

The frozen adventurer who's good as new once he's thawed turns out to be Ronald (Marius Weyers), who four years ago took a plunge from Mount Everest. He's convinced that a certain someone pushed him. Cut to his scheming, cold-hearted wife, Denise, played to perfection by perennial nice-girl (and "Tootsie" alumnus) Teri Garr. Obsessed with taking over her mother's cosmetics empire, she has concocted an anti-aging cream. "My mother's cream does nothing.

It's lard," says Denise, who has taken the liberty of slipping By Virginia Mann Television Critic Before "Soap" even hit the air in September 1977, ABC had received some 32,000 negative letters about it. Protesters took the network to task for daring to lampoon the tone, story lines, and pvert sexual situations of a sacred TV institution: the soap opera. Tonight at 10:30, "Soap" creator Susan Harris returns to the same treacherous waters for another risky parody called "Good Evil." Granted, in the decade since iiScap" left the air, the daytime genre has become fairer game, thanks to movies like "Tootsie" and "Soapdish." Thus far, there has been only one loud protest about "Good Evil," over the portrayal of a very klutzy blind character. But the season is young. And "Good Evil" is fraught with potential offenses.

The humor is sometimes suggestive, and often tasteless, mean-spirited, or down-eight crude. 1 On the other hand, if you take it in the spirit in which it seems to be intended, "Good Evil" can be funny and amusing. The pilot, written by Harris, begins in Nepal, where several locals are staring, through binoculars, at a body under the ice. Two of the men think they've discovered a prehistoric man, but the third knows different. "He's wearing a A badder Bart from staff and news service reports Bill Cosby, who recently blasted Bart Simpson in print for being a terrible role model who is "angry, Confused, frustrated," will be unhappy to learn the situation won't improve.

It will, in fact, have Bart on trial for the murder of his principal before the season is through. ag cza ca cat eg "NH 1 r1 1 r1 1 I wl I chedTouT IL.iJi I I camera fori jm Mm ft II I I I then I-.

That's the reason I won't do 'Simpsons' public service spots. I tell people, if the Simpsons do something, they'd be wise to do the opposite." JThe syndicated entertainment newsmagazine "Entertainment Daily Journal" has been canceled, Fox Inc. said.

Fox announced Monday that the 60-day-old show will air its last broadcast Oct. 25. It was the successor of "Personalties," another short-lived syndicated Fox program that succumbed to poor ratings and time periods. Executive producer BUI Knoe-delseder attributed the new show's death to bad time slots. Locally, the program aired at 12:30 a.m.

"Most of America never found out we were there," Knoe-delseder said. In "E.D.J's" stead will be a one-hour, weekly entertainment news magazine. Knoedelseder, who also heads the Fox Entertainment News division, will oversee the revamped show. NBC's late-night stars just can't stay off sick call. David Letterman was released from a St.
