...lackluster quality of the competition, ABC, the perennial lightweight among TV's big three, looked surprisingly strong in last week's round of fall premieres. With the British-made suspense anthology Journey to the Unknown (Thursday, 9:30-10:30 p.m., E.D.T.), ABC escorted viewers on the weirdest-and most fascinating-excursion since the days of The Twilight Zone.

On a 15-ft. pipe base not unlike the landing gear of a small helicopter, CURV mounts four long red ballast tubes for depth control, three electric propulsion motors, lights, sonar, film and TV cameras. Controlled from the surface, it can clamp a detachable claw onto objects up to 3 ft. wide, then back away leaving the claw and a buoyed line attached. Though it is normally used to retrieve spent torpedoes, Guest acted on a hunch and ordered...
