...Ghosts and Rats. The military's detritus is not confined to the frozen north. Camp Kilmer, near Edison, N.J., is a decaying ghost town of fire-gutted barracks and shattered glass. Unfenced, it is a tempting playground for exploring children. While squirrels and kangaroo rats nest in the bomb craters that pock 10,000 acres of California's Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the area is off limits to human visitors because it contains unexploded bombs and rockets left there 30 years ago, when the Navy used the park as a test-firing range.

This go-round, Van Dyke is cast as the host of a TV talk show in Phoenix, Ariz.; Hope Lange, after two seasons of sublimation in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, plays Mary Tyler Moore. In the witless premiere, Van Dyke was stuck with one joke, and one as grizzled as his new sideburns: the recidivism of reformed smokers. But the second episode-concerning the humiliation of a local-station headliner screen-testing for a network slot-portended a return to form by TV's consummate situation comedian and by the series' witty "creative consultant," Carl Reiner...

...remainder of the new ABC children's shows are, unfortunately, more like the old ones. Funky Phantom is an adventure cartoon centering around three teenagers, their pet dog and a ghost from the Revolutionary War era. Also new is Lidsville. It is a loud and noisy half-hour telling about a kid who took a header into a giant top hat and ended up in a land called Lidsville, inhabited by, of all things, hats. Head bad guy is an inept wizard named Whoo-Doo, who calls his minions "stupid" and classifies them as "little creeps." Jackson 5, still...
