FRIDAY
How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Boris Karloff narrates Dr. Seuss. Ch. 7,8 p.m. 1/2 hour.
Life of Leonardo da Vinci. An Italian TV crew came to the Crimson a couple of months ago to film a documentary on university politics ten years after the Berkeley Free Speech movement. The crew thrust mikes in editors' faces, banged clapboards shut with overblown bravado, and generally looked like characters from a Keystone-Cops-Meet-C.B. Demille short. All of which made me doubt that this Italian TV documentary on da Vinci's life would be any good. I was wrong. This has so far been an excellent series, and even the dubbing (by suave Ben Gazzara) doesn't grate. Ch. 53, 9 p.m. 1 hour.
SATURDAY
God Is My Co-Pilot [1945]. Honest. Ch. 56, 9 p.m. B/W, 2 hours.
SUNDAY
NFL Football. The fucked-up Patriots will doubtless give this one to Miami. Plunkett indeed. Ch. 4,1 p.m. Live.
TUESDAY
America. Alistair Cooke's excellent but over-touted documentary series. Tonight: Watch the Native Americans whup Custer. Ch. 2, 8 p.m. 1/2 hour.
WEDNESDAY
The Missiles of October. An ABC Theatre dramatization of White House meetings during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. A strong cast plays the best and the brightest. Ch. 5,8 p.m. 3 (count 'em) hours.
