Secure in the knowledge that people will watch anything, anything at all, rather than convening politicians, ABC has scheduled a special by the Captain and Tennille for Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. while NBC and CBS are enmeshed with the Republicans in Kansas City. Tb further insure that viewers will take a look at the show-titled, by the way, "The Captain and Tennille" it will follow "Happy Days," a show that even in reruns is a powerful audience lure. "The Captain and Tennille" is a sample of what the pair will be doing regularly for ABC on Mondays at 8 p.m. starting Sept.

20. The series was promoted incessantly during ABC's well-watched coverage of the Olympics. The Captain and Tennille were seen more often on ABC than the American athletes, in fact. ALL OF WHICH looks as if ABC had little confidence in the ability of the two to make it on their own. It is a doubt well-founded and one which has been expressed in the most impor repetition, even the 10-year-olds who tune in will be bored to it again.

But it Is the Dragons, Daryl and Toni, on whom the maw? burden rests. They are an amiable pair whose marital chit-cha has a warmth that was never present with Sonny and Cher. Yet aside from their minor musical abilities (everything they do sounds exactly the same), they must depend on Toni's talking and Daryl's silence and ability to roll his brown eyes. Long before the end of the hour, these small talents hav been thoroughly exhausted and the gags done three or four times over. What then do they do for an encore? Perhaps it is this that ABC counts on to bring back the audience Sept.

20. BACK ON THE AIR: WGPR-TV, Channel 62, says repairs to its transmitter should be completed in time for the station fi return to the air late Monday. The station transmitter was damaged during last Friday's electrical storm in Detroit. The station was not able to telecast Saturday and Sunday while repairs were being made. 63 That Girl Movie Bin Kennedy "Goodbye My Fancy." '51 (B) Joan Crawford.

In pre-season advisories to clients, the experts have not given "The Captain and Tennille" high marks. The Captain and Tennille, for those insulated from pop music, are a singing and instrumental duo made up of Daryl Dragon (the one in the captain's hat) and Toni Tennille t(he one who sings and talks.) They have had several hit records, the best known no wover a year old: "Love Will Keep Us Together." They also are known for creating a tiny ripple In the diplomatic seas when they entertained at the White House dinner for Queen Elizabeth II with a newer number called "Muskrat Love." Some in attendance found it offensive. The offense should have been the quality rather than the content, as viewers Tuesday can note for themselves.

After a look at the sample show, it is not difficult to understand why ABC thought "The Captain and Tennille" needs all the help the show can get. It is not that it's a bad hour but neither does it give an indication of what made ABC decide that it "had legs," as they say in TV in other words, could run. For the special, Daryl and Toni are joined by Art Carney and Roy Clark. If is Clark who makes the show worth even a glance. He turns up dressed in black to do one of his good-natured needle jobs on Johnny Cash with a delightful parody of Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." Carney does a bit at the piano in which everything he plays turns into "Tea for Two." It is an act so hoary with age and C1-A09-M (HHQCElEO vllster Rogera 03(0) Edge ol Night Olt'a Your Choice 03 Flipper (D Movie "The Day the Fish Came Out," "67.
