The show opens with narrator Bill Bonds ambling through a cemetery. And all over Detroit, you can almost predict the chorus of clicks as television dials are twisted to the "Sparky Al" Tiger pre- Hike Duffy television Vi i $250 md I VALUE a Jf) as 21751 ett and former Nixon shill Charles Colson talking about the tragedy of our lost youth is a bit much. BUT YOU do not have to be a right-wing, fundamentalist Christian to appreciate the devastating reality of our American teenage tragedy.

The spiraling drug abuse, alcohol abuse, crime and child abuse statistics are all numbing 1980 facts, as is the horror in the numbers that state that for teenagers between 15 and 19, suicide is the second leading cause of death. No, you don't have to wear Jesus on your sleeve to appreciate that devastating reality. You only have to be a parent. I am. So "Where Have All the Children Gone?" will get no slagging from this professional skeptic.

watch, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference how weighty your message is." ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE to watching 18 guys in jock doubleknits toss a white ball around Saturday night is being provided by WJBK-TV (Channel 2), also at 8 p.m. Billed as a three-hour Johnny Cash special, "Where Have All the Children Gone?" is actually a lengthy, syndicated commercial and solicitation of donations for the good works of Youth for Christ clubs in the Detroit area. It would be easy to slag this show unmercifully for its holy hokum. In fact, the sight of such celebrity shysters as paternity-suited Chad Ever game show Saturday at 8 p.m. on WDIV (Channel 4).

That would be a shame. Despite the definitely downbeat subject matter, "Going Gentle Our New Fascination with Death and Dying," a Kubter-Ross WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) documentary WKBD plans prime-time news written and produced by Tom LoCicero, is a well-done, informative and entertain VESTED SUITS SPORT COATS OUR FOURTH ANNIVERSARY SALEI ment, personified by its founder, Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, author of "On Death and Dying." Promotional ads for "Going Gentle have focused on the show's look at reincarnation and out-of-body experiences a sizable number of people claim to have had. "Is there really a light at the end of the tunnel?" the promo blurbs ask. Ah, yes, the positive possibilities of death.

BUT, BY FAR the hour's most compelling segments deal with the battle of the terminally ill to come to grips with their fate. Interviews with Rollyn Krich-baum, a Detroit woman suffering from cancer, are extremely moving. LoCicero bumps things along at a snappy pace, sometimes a bit too snappy, as he ties segments together with death-related film clips from movies such as "All That Jazz" and "The Shining," as well as familiarly sensational footage of Vietnam atrocities, the Holocaust and assassinations of the '60s. '1 think documentaries should always be entertaining while at the same time presenting something of substance," LoCicero said. "If people are not going to Thank you Michigan you've made the fourth year's success greater than our wildest dreams.

And to celebrate the fourth anniversary you can double your pleasure, double your savings, double your wardrobe and double your fun. There's over 400 Blazers and Sport Coats in all kinds of fabrics, including soft muted plaids, solids and linens all especially priced for this event at 2 for $75. And there's over 1,000 vested suits specially priced at 2 for $95 and 2 for $125, all vested, all very super buys In stripes, solids and plaids, in all wools, polys and blends. You'll find the suits you want and will enjoy in this vast grouping. Sizes 36 to 50.

It's our way of thanking youl ing hour of local television. THE FACT THAT it has been buried on a dog day Saturday night in August notorious snooze time in television land is too bad. But the show, professional and polished, is well worth the watch. LoCicero explores the tranformation of a formerly taboo subject into one that has increasingly captured our uneasy attention. There are segments on cryonics, new trends in the funeral industry, more humane treatment of the terminally ill and the rise of the death awareness move 1968 to 1972, when the program was dropped because of cost and low viewer-ship.

Meantime, WTVS, Channel 56, may have to delay plans to launch a 10 p.m. newscast in October. Local funding for the program is a problem. The big question is whether the 15-minute national news segment, which would be produced by Boston's WGBH-TV and make up half the newscast, will be available. Cutbacks at the Boston station have put the project in jeopardy.

Channel 56 hopes to have an answer by Sept. 1. WKBD-TV (Channel 50) will go back into the 10 p.m. news business Sept. 8.

The station will pick up the half-hour Independent Network News introduced by New York independent station WPIX-TV in June. More than 30 independent stations around the country carry the newscast. Byron MacGregor will remain Channel 50's local news anchor, but it hasn't been decided whether he will continue the 9:55 p.m. news or do a local follow-up after the 10 p.m. newscast.
