Television's Ten Most

Most embarrassing special: John Wayne's Swing Out, Sweet Land (NBC) and Raquel Welch's Raquel! (CBS)--a tie.

Most cynically derivative and generally despicable new series: Nancy (NBC); dishonorable mention, Nanny and the Professor (ABC).

Most enterprising reportage: Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes (CBS) and Tom Pettit on First Tuesday (NBC).

Most distinguished (not to mention only new) cultural series: Kenneth Clark's Civilisation (Public Broadcasting Service).

Most impressive Viet Nam coverage: John Laurence's The World of Charlie Company (CBS).

Most worthwhile exposes on environment: special--Pollution Is a Matter of Choice (NBC); series --Our Vanishing Wilderness (PBS).

Most evocative cinema-verite documentary: Frederick Wiseman's Hospital (PBS).

Most edifying public-service programming: Trial--The City and County of Denver v. Loren R. Watson (PBS).

Most appealing performances: Tony Randall and Jack Klugman in The Odd Couple (ABC).

Most interesting innovation in old format: David Frost's 90-minute, in-depth probing of only one guest at a time on his talk show (syndicated).
