They are almost always right — and this year will be no exception. That’s the word from Philip Bur rell, who puts together a pre-season analysis of new television shows for his advertising agency. Dancer Fitzgerald Sample. The agency’s clients will invest about a quarter of a million dollars in television adver tising in 1979-80. In analyzing the new schedule, Burrell & Co. figure ABC will re main atop the ratings, capturing 32 percent share of the viewing public, while CBS settles for 30 percent and NBC for 28 percent. The statistics indicate the three networks will come out of next sea son in the same order they went in — but perhaps with less space in between. To get down to specifics, the ad agency figures negative prognosis for 45 percent of the new shows — three on ABC and four each on CBS and NBC. Only five shows — 20 percent of the new product — look good. Time was when the television industry figured that one-third of new shows would make it. The rest of the new entries are “iffy” at best. The shows that look like real win ners include four from dominant ABC and one from CBS. They are the “Benson” spinoff from “Soap,” Lou Gossett in a hos pital drama called “The Lazarus Syndrome,” “Hart in San Fran cisco” with Ron Moody as an offbeat detective, and law office shenani gans in “The Associates,” all on ABC, as well as rehabilitated “Trap per John” on CBS, this time played by Pernell Roberts, on CBS. Among predicted disasters are three from ABC, and four each from CBS and NBC. The ABC shows in this category include “Out of the Blue,” about an undercover angel disguised as a high school chemistry teacher; “A New Kind of Family” about single mothers as roommates; and “240 Robert,” a rescue-adventure series arroll letters eveal dull life United Press International rLetters of Lewis Carroll” edited 1 Morton N.

Others are attention-getters since Dodgson delighted in creating rebuses and double-acrostic verses. Dodgson liked pretty little girls and Alice Liddell was a beautiful child. She was only seven years old when Dodgson wrote “Alice in Wonderland.” While Dodgson pur sued a hobby of photographing young girls in the nude, he always had the permission of the children’s parents and there was no evidence that he was a child molester or a dirty old man. It was believed that Dodgson pre ferred the company of children be cause they seemed oblivious to his physical handicaps and their inno cence distracted him from the dull routine of teaching math at Christ Church College. There was considerable informa tion in Dodgson’s letters and in Co hen’s research to indicate young Alice Liddell was the great love of his life. Alice loved story-telling and Dodgson obliged her with “Alice in Wonderland.” While the story was meant only for Alice’s eyes, others read it and liked it.
