Then came the scandals.

The shows had been manipulated by producers to build 4 3 i-. i mm mmn ratings, giving certain contes tants answers in advance. The networks were scolded by the Federal Communications l-H all mm 'I its destruction. Anxious angel Billy Crystal (Jodie of thinks he can save the town. He has to find six righteous people in seven days.

Ah, but the crooked casino owner doesn't want him to be successful and sends In sultry singer Pamela Sue Martin (the same who played Nancy Drew). "Human Feelings," at 9:30 p.m. on Channel 4, Is a TV original with some familiar faces, Richard Dimitri, Pat Morita and James Whitmore in bits. Movies Take your choice of Westerns: Modern romance, circa 1938, is found in "The Cowboy and the Lady," with Gary Cooper and Merle Oberon, on Channel 50 at 11:30 p.m. It's not great, but Coop and Oberon are an intriguing team.

At Channel 7 has "Wei-come to Hard Times," with upstanding Henry Fonda trying to save his town from awfully evil Aldo Ray. Janice Rule, Keenan Wynn and Janis Paige are in It too. Bettelou Peterson -i -too Vt 1 1 City life was not for the Ingallses nd friends, so it's back to the "Little House on the Prairie." In part two of "There's No Place Like Home," at 8 p.m. on Channel 4, the returning families find the little town of Walnut Grove is dying. Michael Landon is writer as well as star of the episode.

The sweathogs reminisce about how they first met their newest member, Beau De Labarre (new cast regular Stephen Shortrdige), in "Welcome Back, Kotter" at 8 p.m. on Channel 7. This is the last Monday show for "Kotter." It moves to Saturdays starting this week. The Chicago Bears play the Broncos at Denver on "NFL Monday Night Football" at 9 p.m. on Channel 7.

Denver's still smarting from a loss last week to San Diego (23-0), while Chicago got tanned by Green Bay. Now it's Nancy Walker who's playing God.

They flourish now in daytime programming and in prime time access between 7 and 8 p.m. which the networks relinquish to "family hour" viewing. AMONG SHOWS falling into the network game-quiz-participation category are "Family Feud," "The $20,000 Pyramid," "The Match Game," "The New Tic Tac Dough," "The Price Is Right," "Card Sharks," "Hollywood Squares," "The New High Rollers" and "Wheel of Fortune." There are more in syndication. Godfather of such shows is Ralph Edwards, who probably will give away more money than any other game producer this year with "$100,000 Name That Tune." Edwards, whose "This Is Your Life" and "Truth or Consequences," are still seen on the tube, says it is time quiz-game-participation shows were lifted from the daytime bargain basement back into prime time.
