His relationship with his family was done with feeling and honesty. There were no ha-h- a lines or situations. After he had run away, his meeting with the free spirit, high-ratin- over-produc- g portrayed by Rate Jackson, was splendidly handled. And yet the show didnt seem to have the phoniness that seems to attract viewers, the silly things present in other series. It could catch on because of this, just as Grizzly Adams caught on. Perhaps James at 15 is the type of show viewers want.

NEWSWATCH 2 PERPLEXING SHOW: James At which was presented on NBC Monday as the pilot for a new series, is a perplexing show. I saw it first three weeks ago in Chicago, where the star, Lance Kerwin, was interviewed by television writers. It was so different that most of us were uncertain whether we liked it or not. Even the younger writers, just a couple of years out of college, were uncertain, although they were closer to the age depicted than we are. In its portrayal of the adolescent youth, who was awkward, frustrated, sensitive, moody, the pilot show was fun, poignant, warm and authentic. It certainly was more authentic in its portrayal of the youth than some other 1 7:30 Space."

Both are based on human prototypes. Most viewers will recognize acquaintancses in these two characters, and, if they are honest, they might recognize themselves." The seasoned veterans, such as Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Rowlf will be back for another season. Its well known in the television industry that performing with The Muppet show is the in thing to do, just as appearing in Batman episodes was the in thing when that series was a favorite. This season the Muppets have all the company they want in "name guests. They start out with George Bums, After that, but not necessarily in order, they will have Nancy Walker, Peter Sellers, Edgar Bergen and Charley McCarthy, Bernadette Peters, Elton Jobn, Teresa Brewer, Petula Clark, Lon Rawls, Zero Mostel, Rich Little, Milton Berle and Don Knotts. We understand that the segment with Knotts is one of the funniest yet, and that his performance of Lullabye of Birdland on the bass fiddle, backed by Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem Band of Muppets is a classic. Also, the segment featuring Rich Little has some hilarious episodes. Rich outdoes himself with his imitations. So Muppet mania will be sweeping the country again. mind-boggli- On View. 2 luis new season will find the Muppets on 163 channels in the U.S. and they will be carried in 103 countries around the world. We will have four new characters with the new season, according to Jim Henson, who created The Muppets. Included will be Fleet Scribbler, a wise-gu- y reporter who has perfected the art of asking the wrong questions of the wrong persons at the wrong time. He does not let the facts stand in the way of a good story. Another new character will be known as J. P. Grosse. He owns the theater in which the Muppets do their show. He is mercenerary, heartless, tight-fistegreedy and emotionless, according to Henson. Other newcomers are Captain Link Hogthrob, and Dr. Julias Strangepork. They are involved in the new science-fictio- n thriller of the show, Pigs in Space. The former is commander of the spacecraft. He is in charge, but never in touch, according to Henson.
