pos i i. vmi 23 ojia Barrett on show Ex-president Weaver of NBC to join 7 Tnir i II i Win Fanning News and views: NBC has announced Sylvester (Pat) Weaver will join Rona Barrett as a regular on "Televison: Inside Out," to make its debut on Dec. 5, from 10-11 p.m. What a masterful stroke of casting. Weaver served as president of NBC from 1953-55, and chairman of the network's board in 1955-56.

As early as 1950, when he drew up the outline for the TV spectacular now commonly known as the "special" he had begun developing programming concepts that qualify him as the father of modern television. In 1952 he was responsible for introducing the "Today" show, the 'Tonight" show and the now defunct "Home" show, the medium's first magazine-style programs. and a studio audience to applaud on cue. Nobody, not even Sinatra, can take "Thanks for the Memory" away from Bob Hope, of However, his new version of the comedian's theme song was delightfully refreshing and amusing, as the special followed Hope's two-hour salute to the NFL. And when the Chairman of the Board swung into "The Theme from 'New York, New York'" it became abundantly clear that not only Chicago is his kind of town.

At the end of the concert the members of the huge orchestra including 30 strings rose from their positions on the spectacular (yet tasteful) set in an obviously spontaneous round of applause. I can hardly wait for the "cast" album. not only take charge of a TV hour, he can also defy the passage of time. His specials have always been a class act, but five or six years ago a raspiness in the lower registers seemed to portend an early end to his singing career. It would be ridiculous to say that he is singing better than ever those high notes still elude him but by whatever miracle known only to Francis Albert, he hasn't been in better voice in many years.

Everything about the hour was as close to perfect as a TV concert can be. With only two "name" guests, famed pianist Count Basie (and his orchestra) and guitarist Tony Mot-tola, sharing the stage, Ole Blue Eyes proved that if the talent and the style is there, there is no need for comedy sketches, inane banter efforts to get that boat of his out of dry dock. Travel note: In a report last month from Santa Fe, N.M., I mentioned the Toas Inn in connection with veteran Indian trader Harold Street and his wife, who once owned this longtime hangout of stars from stage and screen. Now a letter from Betty Gordon Sanger, whose parents are residents of this city, brings the news that she. and her husband are the new proprietors of the hostelry, "soon to be designated a national historic landmark.

"We are currently restoring it to better than its original condition," Sanger writes. Pittsburghers, needless to say, will receive a very special welcome when their travels take them to Toas, the quaint artists' community, just a few miles from Santa Fe. Class act: part II: Sinatra's wasn't the only classy performance on NBC in the past few days. James Amess' return to series TV in "McClain's Law" brought back memories of "Gunsmoke" (1955-75) to be sure. It also served as a reminder of why that scries was such a great success.

Arness, like Sinatra, is a take-charge performer. In the title role he portrays Jim McClain, a retired police officer who returns to the San Pedro (Calif.) force. If the two-hour pilot episode is a fair example of the hour-long shows to follow on Friday nights, 9-10, NBC should have its first solid winner of the 1981-82 season. And when it comes to yachts, McClain's built-in-Hong Kong sailer should make Quincy redouble his Although he seldom appeared in front of the camera in those days, weaver's intimate knowledge of the business, inside the networks and as an independent producer in more recent years, should give the new program an important added dimension. Class act; Now 64, Frank Sinatra proved on Sunday night that he can Today in preview New movie, 4A Small is better than the new series Commentary moves to Mexico.

You can tell, because there is a shot of a TV set through a glass of tequila. "Danger is our business, sweetheart," Rick assures the pretty stepdaughter. A new series and a new movie. That's something. But in the case of the series, "Simon Simon" (CBS at 8), it's not much.

Jameson Parker and Gerald McRaney play a couple of detective brothers who treat Phil Silvers: "With all comedians, when the lights go out we're very serious. Comedy is no laughing matter. It's the most elusive of all the arts." (Program information is compiled by Judy Blander and by the Post-Gazette television department.) crime like fun and games. ping-bag man Evil machinations on "Flamingo Road" (NBC at 10) when a handsome interloper (David Selby) tries to outsmart regular members of the cast An art collector fancies Jennifer on "Hart to Hart" (ABC at 10). For the kiddies More pre-Thanksgiving prime-time turkey wing: NBC trots out "Daffy Duck's Thanks-for-Giving The series Special" (at 8) in which the self-serving duck shows he's pure ham.

Following, another animated repeat, "The Berenstain Bears Meet Bigpaw" (NBC at TV talk David Brenner and Juliet Prowse visit Johnny "Tonight" (NBC at 11:30) And on "Tomorrow Coast-to-Coast" (NBC at 12:30 a.m.), Gloria Swanson. Bag lady will, the elegant Simmons decked out in rags as a decoy bag lady, and Asner as her protector disguised as a wino. A certain amount of suspense is generated, and the movie, far from great, is curiously satisfying. The brothers In the premiere of this silly detective series, "Simon Simon" (CBS at 8), there's a wicked stepfather Blayed by guest star Peter Graves, e's got a beautiful stepdaughter who wants to protect him and needs protecting. That's all you really need to know about the plot.

Parker plays A.J., buttoned up and straight. And McRaney plays Rick, who lives in a houseboat and doesn't wear a tie. Otherwise, you can hardly tell them apart. During the course of an extremely dull hour the action Radio highlights OYSTER SALE FOR THANKSGIVING Father and daughter Phil and Cathy Silvers play father and daughter on "Happy Days" (ABC at 8) Joey Heatherton plays herself on "Laverne Shirley" (ABC at poor thing is pursued by Lenny and Squiggy On "Father Murphy" (NBC at 8), little Ada (Christina Applegate), a mentally retarded orphan, is the only one who can tame Father Joe's independent new horse Jack gets mugged on "Three'i Company" (ABC at 9) On 'Too Close For Comfort" (ABC at 9:30) the Rush family shares Thanksgiving with a lonely shop The "A Small Killing" (CBS at 9), has two no, three -major advantages over the series. Namely, Ed Asner and Jean Simmons as an odd but somehow endearing couple, and Sylvia Sidney as a bag lady who gets knocked off far too early in the movie by a drug dealer's hit man.

Asner plays a gruff cop well, what other kind would he play? and Simmons, a college professor, who inadvertently team up to catch the bag lady's killer.
