For instance, Cousteau divers were photographed for the first time going underwater in the world's largest forest, to explore the phenomenon of fish actually swimming through trees to feed off the fruits and nuts of the vegetation. Journey To A Thousand Rivers sets the stage for the remaining two segments of CousteauAmazon which will air in April and June. six-ho- t, least-know- los, great numbers of leaping fish and the like. n river colossus which weaves through it, premieres Friday at 8 p.m. on KUTV.

"Journey To A Thousand Rivers is Part I of the documentary, and is an overview of the exploration- by Capt. Jacques Cousteau and teams of scientists-adventurer- s who braved Amazonia to learn how plants, animals, and men survive in watery jungle, Cousteau himself swims (ahem) with a pink dolphin (and if that sounds like a great name for a cocktail, forget it), recording for the first time this enchanting creature at leisure in the wild. FOR WHAT ITS WORTH: That thud you heard was television plummeting to a new low in taste. ABC, the simple network (noted for introducing T&A and jiggle shows to the home screen) has a new idea festering in the wings, ready to expose it- (Can you just imagine how he described all this to the society board of directors? . . . Well, I was in the river, you see, and all of a sudden, there was this pink dolphin and a pink dolphin . . . yes, pink. Whats the matter, youve never heard of pink before? No, it wasnt an elephant. Are you crazy!) Cousteau also filmed an enormous anaconda, a painfully slow sloth, a temperamental capybara (a rare giant river otter), crocodiles, armadil self as a five-da- y special daytime series during the first week in April. Fortunately, KTVX has other plans and wont be airing the experiment. Entitled The Love Report, it is a live half-hoprogram dealing with information on the love relationships of the famous, set in Hollywood, the glamor capital (gag, choke) of the world.

Fred Silverman is executive producer of The Love Reby port, which will be Tawny Little Schneider and Chuck Henry. : life entertainment, sports, politaking an objective, look at the problems people face in their romantic relationships. Interviews will take place both in the studio and on location." (If you can understand anyone in the public eye: star, starlet or politico, agreeing to sit down with some slug from a television show to discuss their love life, then you probably can cope with the mentality it took to dream up such an idea. Silverman sounds like he's competing for the sleaze bucket championship so recently vacated by Chuck Barris of Gong Show notoriety.) It makes little difference what KTVX is running instead of The Love Report that week, but it is with no small touch of irony that Channel 4s programming department mentioned it had Donahue in that time period and had no intenit for Love or tion of Silverman, the man who brought us Supertrain, benevolently derailed in 1978 before it left the station.) . . tics th .
