TELEVISION Screen serves up overdose of parades By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Television-Radio Writer NEW YORK (AP) Parades are peerless am occasional treats.

Football Is fine In moderation. But after extravagant Indulgence in both spectacles Monday three parades and three football games In more than 12 continuous hours of broadcasting even the most devoted television viewer must feel that he has seen enough drum majorettes, vanda orchids, end runs and incompleted passes to last for a while well, a week anyway. The networks spoil the viewers. When we indicate that we like something, we are likely to get it in such quantities that we quickly tire of it. It Is true of parades, spy stories, comedy-fantasy and even Westerns.

CBS started out Monday with an hour's coverage of the amusing Mummer's Parade in Philadelphia, while NBC began the day's special activities with taped reports of the previous evening's Orange Parade in Miami, a sort of Southern Rose Parade. Both were preliminaries to the Impressive and elaborate Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. It seemed to this veteran paradewatcher that the flower floats were bigger, more complicated and more colorful than ever. All three networks had their color cameras focused on this, and a viewer's choice of channel had to be dictated by the station that fed the best picture to his set. NBC then moved directly to coverage of Sugar Bowl game, followed by the Rose Bowl game, followed by the Orange bowl game, while the others returned to regular programs.

Presumably only the hardiest football fans stayed on for the nine or more hours. CBS' "Family Affair," has quietly- climbed the Nielsen ladder until It has reached hit stature and it deserves it. Monday night's episode was an implausible, little story about 6-year-old Jody and his passion tor construction work which in turn led him to an eccentric millionaire everybody was hunting for. But the program Is handled with great skill and just the right amount of sentiment. The casting is just about perfect.
