Soupy Scenario. The season's action series are ticketed for anyone from nine to 90-IQ, that is. The Green Hornet (ABC), concocted by the man behind Batman, is played straight. Only changes from the 1936-52 radio version are James Bond-type hardware and a bigger-beat theme song, blown by Al Hirt. There is nothing wrong with the show that cannot be cured by turning off the set. Tarzan (NBC) has a vaster menagerie than last season's high-rated jungle epic, Daktari, and just as soupy a scenario.

It is produced, under contract, for various business, government and educational institutions by Abt Associates, a 20 month-old fledgling in the Rand-type "think factory" research field. Headed by Clark Abt, 37, former advanced-systems manager at Raytheon, the Cambridge, Mass., company undertakes all sorts of computer projects, but it has made its biggest splash so far in the business of devising serious games. Its first contract was a game for the Defense Department that was aimed...
