Another Victim Beats Disease Tonight in CBS Drama 'Seizure' The makers of television programs love diseases and incapacitating injuries. After all, ailments makes much better villains than people do. No one complains that the show is indiscriminately picking on any particular interest group or perpetuating a stereotype in the portrayal of the heavy. They also allow the producers and writers to deal with inherently dramatically interesting lifeand-death situations without having to inject any violence. Add to this the built-in inspirational value with the viewers rooting for the victim to overcome whatever debilitating affliction he or she is saddled with.
Naturally, the obstacle is overcome usually through determination thus turning the production into an object lesson for the audience. With this type of program, the producers are in a no-lose situation. They haven't offended anybody and have provided viewers with upbeat, absorbing drama. "Seizure: The Story of Kathy Morris," CBS, tonight at 9 (ET), not only is a good example of this type of show, but also offers well-fleshed-out portrayals by Leonard Nimoy and Penelope Milford. Milford portrays Kathy Morris, a young singer just about start her career.
Just as she's getting ready to be dog graduated from New York's Manhattan By BILL HAYDEN Gannett News Service School of Music, she is struck down by a brain tumor. Nimoy, playing a brilliant but brash neurosurgeon, operates to remove the benign tumor. During the relatively routine operation, however, the singer's brain begins to swell and she lapses into a seemingly irreversiable coma. At a loss to examine what went wrong and shaken by the unexpected turn of events, Nimoy terminates the operation because he is conviced that his patient has little chance of survival and even less of recovery.
