NIBHTWATGH Television is a modern won- der of electronics. By turning on the set, one can open a whole new world. In the Tide- water area, there are three major television networks, one private network. one educa- tional station, and, in some areas, numerous channels on cable television. With so many stations, there is a wide variety of programs from which to select a show. To choose a fa- vorite show from so many would be ridiculously difficult. Instead, the average viewer generally watches a number of programs. What follows in an example of the programs the average viewer would watch. Late, very late, on Saturday night, he would find himself settling down in his big over- stuffed chair to view Saturday Night Live. If he can manage to get comfortable, and also stay awake, he is fortified with an hour and a half of entertain- ment. Featured in the entertain- ment scene are The Not Ready for Prime Time Players: Dan Ackroyd, lame Curtain, Gilda Radner, john Belushi, Lorraine Newman, Bill Murray, and Gar- ret Morris. -1 1' fl Sunday will find Mr. Aver- age Viewer watching 60 Mi- nutes an expose type of pro- gram that attracts a large audi- ence. 60 Minutes has done stories on many issues which relate to the teenager, among them, high school football and violence in the schools. After an hour of facts, the average viewer then turns to an hour of excitement. Battles- tar Galactica is actually a west- ern set in space. It is the tale of humans who are trying to avoid the Cylons on their journey to find the planet Earth. There is another show on the air that has a character from outerspace, Mork 81 Mindy. Mork is a visitor from the planet Ork who lives with an earthling, Mindy McConnell. Mork 8: Mindy has added many new words to the English lan- guage including Nano0. Nanoo which is now a popular greeting and Shazbat which has replaced swear words. For one hour, the average viewer becomes immersed in the lives of other people who have come to Fantasy Island to live through their own secret fantasies. The millionaire who is responsible for this island is Mr. Rourke, who is assisted by the everlovable Tatoo. Together they provide an hour of fun and excitement. Take the story of two girls who are struggling to make ends meet, add Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, and you have Laverne and Shirley. Laverne and Shirley is one of the most successful spinoffs on the air today. Due to a disaster during an experiment, Bill Bixby is able to transform into a huge green creature, otherwise known as the Incredible Hulk. Hulk is the personified anger and frustra- tion inside David Banner. Television programs have come a long way since they first began. Many programs last a long time, yet others remain on for only a few seasons. It is hard to attempt even a guess as to which programs will remain on and which will suffer the pro- grammer's ax. The only thing that tells the public if a show will be a hit is the percentage of average viewers who watch the show: that percentage ei- ther makes or breaks the show. v 1 I x lhil 'r ' FOR V+ Ll

tk- int! girurii ,nal photos W1 Lircle 6 a d Pembroke YEAR Weekends were made for in- dividuals to relax and forget their weekly responsibilities. The country's most popular weekend attraction is the cinema and six movies have caught public attention. At last Cheech and Chong have made their first motion picture. Utterly insane, Up in Smoke takes the serious prob- lems of drug traffic and smuggling and completely blows them out of proportion. National Lampoon released its first attempt at moviemaking this summer with Animal House. Set in the 1960's, Ani- mal House is the story of Delta 'HIE fraternity house and the frat brothers. Animal House has added a new custom to the life styles of American teenagers, toga parties. Rock operas are the latest movies to come out and Rocky Horror Picture Show is among this genre. Allowing audience participation, the movie invites viewers, armed with rice, water guns, toast, and umbrellas, to pelt the various and sundry ar- ticles at the screen. I.R.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings has been adapted into a cartoon. Tolkien lovers flocked to the theatres by the thousands and found it brimming with EMBO! marvelous technical de- velopments. Thrillers are big at the box of- fice this year and among them is Magic, adapted from the Wil- liam Golding novel. Although the ads allude to the plot, they have no way of capturing the intense psychological study of the main character and his wooden dummy, Fats. Couples are flocking in hordes to see Halloween. Why couples? Because no one would dare to go alone. Not because they are friendless, but because there must be someone to hold onto. rf flfi1p CA ..
