Two teen-agers come to a better understanding with their parents after chasing a vain musician. Kids’ TV It’s probably true that much of what children watch on television does them little good. Still, the networks and independent stations are offering some shows of better quality these days. More than 225 stations have syndicated the critically acclaimed “Big Blue Marble,” and PBS still has “Sesame Street” — watched by more pre-schoolers than any other program. “3-2-1 Contact,” another Children’s Television Workshop production on PBS, has returned for a second sea son and teaches young viewers daily science lessons. There are even entire children’s networks, like Nick elodeon and Calliope, avail able to cable-subscribers. The commerical networks haven’t cut back on the usual fare of slam-bang-zoom Sat urday morning cartoons — it’s too lucrative — but there’s more. Here’s a parent’s primer: On ABC, “Kids Are People Too” introduces youngsters to current affairs and people in art, literature, science, government, sports and enter tainment. “ABC Afterschool Specials,” a series of children’s dramas, enters its ninth season with new produc tions about issues affecting young people. One special, “A Family of Strangers,” will explore the problems of a step-family, while “Schoolboy Father” tells the story of an unwed teen-age father. “Dear Alex & Annie” is an advice program in which the hosts give musical answers to letters from young viewers. “ABC Weekend Specials,” based on stories for children, encourage viewers to read. Among the new projects are “Scruffy” and “Zack and the Magic Factory.” “The Dough Nuts” stars comical characters who help kids learn the do’s and don’t’s of using their money (i.e. IN FOCUS shows signs of improved quality dough) wisely, while “ABC Schoolhouse Rock,” the ani mated musical information series, offers “America Rock,” “Grammar Rock,” “Multiplication Rock” and “Science Rock.” “Animals Animals Animals,” with Hal (“Barney Miller”) Linden, begins its fifth season of exploring the relationship between animals and man in art, literature, science, history, music and legend. On NBC, “Play Along” pro vides two-way communica tion between youngsters and their TV sets. The program involves viewers in such men tal exercises as word games, mini-mysteries, dancing, space codes, magic, science experiments and crafts. The segments will be incorporated into the Saturday morning “Flintstones Comedy Show” and “Space Stars.” “Drawing Power” combines live-action and animation with educational and enter tainment material for 6 to 11- year-olds. The setting is a car toon factory where animators create “cartoons with a conscience.” “NBC Special Treat” is a monthly series of weekday afternoon specials, many of which are adapted from books and encourage children to read. The crew of “Ask NBC News” travels to schools throughout the country and videotapes children asking questions, which are answered by NBC News correspondents in the U.S. and around the world. Last year questions covered children’s rights, nuclear energy, the Iranian crisis and the possibility of a female U.S. president. “Time Out” provides tips about good nutritional habits, sports safe ty and physical fitness. “How to Watch TV” is a series of 30-second public ser vice spots geared to help youngsters develop a critical eye when watching programs and commercials. Messages include “Animals Don’t Die,” designed to help kids differen tiate between an animal’s death on TV and in reality. Early in 1981, NBC will introduce a weeknight prime time series called “Project Peacock,” devoted to subjects of interest to children. Over at CBS, new editions of CBS News’ “Going Places” and “What’s It All About” will include a dramatization of a Mexican boy and his family who survive by hunting sharks and “What’s an Election All About?” “The CBS Festival of Lively Arts for Young People” prem ieres this season with “An Invitation to the Dance,” star ring Julie Andrews. The “CBS Mystery Theater” is designed to develop children’s reason ing skills through this univer sally popular story form. “The CBS Library” is made up of dramas based on classi cal and contemporary children’s literature, and “The CBS Afternoon Playhouse” focuses on original dramas J tv tattle L Second black web Unity Broadcasting, opera tor of the National Black Network, will begin a second web in November. American Black Information Network, as it will be called, will, like its sister web, broadcast five- minute programs each hour from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. But instead of dealing with the normal six to eight stories in each newscast, the new net work will devote its time to one or two stories with in- depth coverage of material of interest to blacks. •The .\nmmr ^'rnwr involving conflicts typically faced by children. “In the News” is designed to make the news understand able to children; “30 Minutes” covers timely topics of inter est to kids and “Razzmatazz” is a news magazine for and about young citizens. “The Body Human” is a daytime series inspired by the prime-time series of the same name. Installments such as “The Facts For Boys” and “The Facts for Girls” are designed to enhance young sters’ awareness of their phys ical and emotional growth. Finally, the timeless “Cap tain Kangaroo” program enters its 26th year. A Weekend Full Of Good Times!
