This is the time of the year when the networks examine new-season schedules, take pulses, shake out the weaklings, and bring on shows that they hope will survive. Fatalities so far among the new programs: CBS's Dundee and the Culhane, NBC's Maya and Accidental Family, and ABC's Hondo, Custer, Iron Horse and F. Lee Bailey's Good Company. The biggest surprise is NBC's decision to dump the 3½-year-old Man from U.N.C.L.E. after Jan. 15; the Nielsen rating had dropped from No. 3 in June 1966 to 68th...

...HUROK PRESENTS (CBS, 9:30-11 p.m.). A galaxy of stars twinkling in tribute to Impresario Sol Hurok. Representing only a few of the hundreds he has sponsored during the past 55 years are Marian Anderson, Van Cliburn, Isaac Stern, Andres Segovia, the Bolshoi Ballet with Prima Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya and Antonio and the Ballets de Madrid...
