...ratings, if not on the hearts and minds of television critics and the other amateur moral philosophers who keep outraged eyes on the tube. Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, its vulgarly nostalgic sitcoms, so far this season rank first and second among regularly scheduled programs, while Baretta, the ethnic undercover cop, and The Bionic Woman are right up there near Charlie's Angels among the leading action-adventure shows...
