...guess I'll have to buy another suit." That was how CBS Correspondent Charles Kuralt greeted the news last week that several years on the back roads of America were finally coming to an end. In the network-news world of tailored suits and perfect teeth, Kuralt, 46, has long been an anomaly. Rumpled, round and slightly balding, Kuralt looks less like an anchorman than your average TV repairman.

Only NBC is in the chips because Fred Silverman, the network's president, long ago put his bet on "reality programming" like Real People, Games People Play and Speak Up America. It may be a dubious TV genre-mixing 60 Minutes with The Gong Show-but it is one unaffected by the strike. With such shows, plus the World Series, Magazine with David Brinkley, Disney's Wonderful World and new episodes of three old series, NBC can boast that through the end of October, it will air 75% new programming. The capricious god who filched the Olympics from...
