It marvelous, but it's scary in a way," she said. Duvall's alternative is scheduled to be aired by Nickelodeon starting in July. She says she hopes "Nick Jr.

Rocks!" will offer clips from movies like The Littlest Mermaid" or shows like "Sesame Street" and oiler a new-venue for kiddie performers. She also hoHs to persuade Luciano I'avarotti. Top or country performers to record children's songs and make videos for them. Don't hold your breath waiting for a kid vid from Guns Roses, unless they record "a sweet little children's song." Duvall said. "If we have any video babes in ours, they're going to be toddlers." Nickelodeon says it will give Duvall as much time as she wants in the it a.m.

to 2 p.m. slot. F.vcn-tually, she thinks a full-blown children's video channel could result a kind of M-Teenie-V. All of this activity gives the misimpression that children's television in general and Du- all's elTorts, specifically are thriving "We're really struggling." she said "It has not been a business that advertising gets behind." She wants to do four more tall tales, but the money is lacking, and the special effects for "I'aul Buny an" are a big ticket item. "I'm holding out for the blue she said But she sees better days ahead and only partly due to improved technology.

Congress has ordered broadcasters to set aside time for worthy children's programming, and she sees a consensus that the nation's problems can be traced to "one reason and only one reason It all starts from lack of Imagine bringing toeether 100 teachers and gnmg them a television channel. Imagine 200 pedagogic eyes peering into millions of living rooms, looking lor homework in actual homes. A nightmare to many, hut a dream to Shelley Duvall. And dreams have a way of coming true for Duvall. the actress-turned-kid-TV magnate.

-Why not take the 100 most enlightening and wonderful teachers in our country and put them on telev ision?" asks Duvall. Television "could become a very educational and enlightening babysitter instead of a Intob tube. It's happening. It really is This is news to anyone who has been force-fed Teenage Mutant N'inja Turtles while keeping a sleepy, watchful eye on would-be Donatellos each Saturday morning. Hut Duvall says the 150-channel cable systems that could make a teacher channel reality are on their way.

And if quality children's programming is the wave of the near-future, Duvall is likely to be ruling the crest. The Shelley Duvall Kiddie Juggernaut began with "Faerie Tale Theatre." a Showtime series of 26 stories like "The Three Little Pigs'' and Rum plestiltskin," featuring stars she knew from her years as an actress. "That opened dxrs for me that wouldn't have been opened if I had not been known," she said in a telephone interview Then came "Shelley Du all's Tall Tales and Legends." a series of nine one-hour stories from American folklore, also starring big names such as Danny Glover. Jamie Lee Curtis and F.d Asner. Shelley Duvall Pioneer in children television and also produced for Showtime though it now is in syndication on more than 200 television stations.

There's a lot more: "Mother (loose Kock n' Khyme," a S0 -minute musical movie for the Disney Channel. "Stones from (j rowing I the first in what Duv.ill hopes will be a series of Nickelodeon specials in which stars discuss their childhoods; "Shelley Duvall's Bedtime Stones." scheduled to start production for Show time next year; and "The Animal Kxpress" an MCA Records album to be released this year, also the first in a series. Her newest venture is music ideos targeted at preschoolers. "There are virtually no children's radio stations, and kids love music. They dance, they mernone the words." she said She recalled a recent occasion hen she visited friends ho have a toddler.

The child was transfixed by the video for Billy Idol's song. "Hebel Yell."
