(60 mins.) aptioned;U.S.AJ SECRETS OF MIDLAND HEIGHTS Those prime-tim- e lustmakers, Lorimar Productions Knots Landing) have fed CBS yet another (Dallas, eyebrow raising drama about, a small traditional, thrivMiling college town controlled by its founders-th- e lingtons. There, the secrets are of nurtured dreams, closely held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friendships and families. The show boasts a huge cast consisting of Bibi Besch, Robert Hogan, Jordan Christopher, Mark Pinter, Lorenzo Lamas, Doran Clark, Linda Hamilton, Dan Zippi, Martha Scott, Jim Youngs and Melora Hardin. Most of these names may be new to you, but to their credit, this cast seems talented. One of the benefits in doing a series with a huge cast, such as Dallas or Secrets is that there are many characters to play off g of and develop relationships. But, by the inter-twinin- same token flushed plotlines out early-on- , if character viewers these arent might the find themselves confused, which would spell disaster or this series. While Secrets has the potential to be a fixture on the CBS schedule, help but wonder cant , gf f 'J, tail-J --y1' g Lorimar out Jim Youngs and Doran Clark too thin in developing programs of this genre. From a production standpoint, Secrets is as glossily made as Dallas, but theres something lacking in the scripting. Those nurtured dreams and closely held desires, are nothing to get all hot and bothered about, because the pacing is so painfully slow. Besides which, there are so many different sub-ploin Secrets, one tends to get lost half-wa- y through the show. Whether or not the producers intend to jettison a few characters as the Midland Heights saga develops is something only they know at this point. In my opinion, Secrets can only flourish if the cast is s trimmed and the reduced, otherwise this program will also fall victim to ABCs Fantasy Island, which e is only propped up by its Boat. Secrets lead-i- n is Freebie and the Bean, another new show whose fortunes are iffy at best. Send your comments to do TV P.O.
