8 p.m. (D Six American Families. 'The Stephens Family of Iowa." The lifestyle of a modern day farm family is explored here tonight, and fifth installment of the six-part series. Although it is the least absorbing hour of the series, it does offer us a glimpse of the people who toil the land and feel that farming is a great way of life." Carl and Lois Stephens have six kids, raniging in age from 27 to 9, and the whole family pitches in with the farm chores, with father Carl working the hardest and setting a standard his family tries to match. (60 min.) p.m.

QJ Testimony of Two Men. Part I. This six-hour dramatization of Taylor Caldwell's best-selling novel begins here tonight with a two-hour production to life in 19th century America immediately following the Civil War. (See Win Fanning's column for more details.) 9 p.m. The Pallisers.

No. 14. Interesting study of a man under pressure so severe, he feels utterly defenseless and friendless. Phineas Finn (Donal McCann) is accused of killing Mr. Bonteen on his way home from the club following a violent argument with the gentleman brought on by Bonteen's malice.

All the evidence is circumstantial, except for Lord Fawn's recollection of seeing a man wearing a coat like Mr. Finn's running after Bonteen. Phineas has helpful friends like Marie Goesler, for example, as well as a hysterical Lady Laura to confuse his life. (60 min.) Ultra Man aXS Gong Show (5) Bewitched 4:30 P.M. SXTJ Douglas (Cont.)

(1977) Testimony of CBS YESTERDAY announced the axing of 10 series-plus Mary Tyler Moore's voluntary closing of her show-and the addition of 10 new stanzas.

Two of the latter "Wonder Woman" and "The Tony Randall Show" were dropped by ABC a few days ago. The departing series are: "All's Fair," "Sonny and Cher," "Phyllis," "Nashville 99," "Code "Andros Targets," "Who's Who," "Delvecchio," "Hunter" and "Loves Me, Loves Me Not." The additions for fall include Ed Asner's series, in which he continues the Lou Grant character; Betty White's new series, in which she plays a TV actress; a series based on the feature film Logan's and a new Daniel Boone outing, "Dan'l Boone," with Rick Moses. I'll pass along details on all the newcomers-six dramas and comedy-dramas, and four situation comedies-tomorrow. A SIX-HOUR dramatization of Taylor Caldwell's 1,000 page novel, "Testimony of Two Men," begins tonight at 9 o'clock on Channel 11. The two-hour episode will be followed by parts two and three on succeeding Mondays in the same time period.

As the $4 million "Operation Prime Time" production is not only an ambitious project, but also an experiment in syndicated programming financed by the individual stations on which it is being shown, it would be pleasant to report that it is at least another "Captains and the Kings," which scored a modest success for NBC last fall. Sorry to report, it isn't. A preview of all but a few minutes of the first two hours of almost unrelenting and often confusing melodrama left me hungry for more of almost anything else. 7:30 A.M. 3) CBS News (Cont.) 3) Fury OGDffl Today (Cont.)

GS CBS News QD Dusty's Treehouse ffMKD Today CB Good Morning America 5 Sesame Street 0 Lone Ranger Cicely Tyson Cast In 'Wilms' HOLLYWOOD -Emmy Award-winning actress Cicely Tyson has been cast in a key role in "Wilma," a 90-minute NBC World Premiere movie about the career of track star Wilma Rudolph, who overcame childhood handicaps and won three gold medals in the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Miss Tyson, who received two Emmys for her performance in the title role of the highly acclaimed drama, "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman," was nominated for an Academy Award for her starring role in the film "Sounder." She will portray Blanche Rudolph, Wilma's mother. The fact-based drama being written, produced and directed by Bud Greenspan, will focus on the determination of the physically handicapped black girl who was not able to walk properly until she was 8 years old.

40 min.) 4:40 With Jeanne Parr 4:40 With Jeanne Parr IT IS a costume piece, a Victorian tale of medical practices and the usual Caldwell fare of family com-plications during the period from the end of the Civil war to just past the turn of the century. The first two hours account for 35 years and, not surprisingly, the principal characters are kept hoping and aging at a bewildering pace. The cast of 44 is headed by David Birney, Barbara Parkins and Steve Forrest, with a host of "guest stars" making appearances of varying importance. They are all, with the possible exception of Birney, little more than cardboard figures with whose fate it is almost impossible to become concerned. Birney is the good, high minded doctor son of Miss Parkins, who also has a no good son who has ambitions as an artist and the morals of an alley cat.

He even marries a woman 13 years older than he is for money, of course. It is the Birney character who is at the center of things, striving to support high principles against the opposition of the medical community in a Pennsylvania town in the Philadelphia area. jj 6:30 P.M.

(2 hrs.) 9 p.m. "Roger Harry." (1977) Two private eyes are hired to find a businessman's daughter who has been kidnaped. John Davidson, Barry Primus. (90 min.) THE STORY, jam-packed with marriages, illegitimate children, illegal abortions, unrequited love and vengeance, was filmed in the studios and on the backlot at Universal. There is an unattractive vintage quality about the production, harking back to the so-called Griffith Park philosophy, that a tree is a tree no matter where you find it so why bother with location filming? The war sequences Civil and Spanish-American-are so totally unbelievable they are almost funny.

"Boom" goes the cannon and dozens of men, mounted and afoot, fling themselves to the ground and play dead. And the dialogue could be called unspeakably corny if it were not indeed spoken. Jack Laird, the producer, who chose to abandon Miss Caldwell's flashback technique in favor of telling the tale in chronological order, has stated that the second and third installments are much simpler to follow than is tonight's introduction. Maybe so, maybe so. I'm just not interested enough to find out.

MARMADl'KE nmuiMimmiMMiu MORE BRIEFLY: ABC's Fred Silverman, the genius behind that network's spectacular rise to the top of the rating heap, has enlarged slightly on his axing of "Bionic Woman." He says that he considers it and "Wonder Woman" "gimmick shows with no great staying power." He cites the fact that the ratings have been in a steady decline, hovering on the brink of the 30 per cent share of audience that indicates staying power. He also points out, that with 80 per cent of its programming returning, he needs some room for the introduction of fresh hit material, "without which you lose your momentum." And while he said he is confident that Lee Majors and his wife, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, will return to their respective series "Six Million Dollar Man" and "Charlie's Angels" expressed the opinion that "Angels" will continue to be a hit, with or without Mrs. Majors, and said that if Lee leaves his series, "we have a plan to replace the show without missing a beat."
