New Films "North Avenue Irregulars" (Disney-B.V.): A young minister (Edward Herrman) takes over a failing church and mobilizes a zany collection of parish women to combat illegal gambling. Herrman is very good and so are Barbara Harris and Cloris Leachman as two of the eager crime-fighters, but an excess of slapstick will make the film a little hard to take for most adults and older teen-agers. G, Al
"Uncle Joe Shannon" (United Artists): A brillianfjazz trumpet player lands on Skid Row after the tragic death of his wife and young son. He regains his selfesteem and starts on the road back when he becomes unofficial guardian of a young boy 'who has even more problems than he. A hawkish film chockfull of embarrassingly bad moments, this is a picture better avoided. PG, A2 "Harper Valley P.T.A." (April Fools): When the hypocritical board of directors of a small town P.T.A. sends a nasty letter to a fun-loving 'widow (Barbara Eden), scolding her for her behavior and threatening to expel her daughter from junior high school, they get much more than they bargained for. Based upon
a hit song of the late '60s, this unsophisticated comedy is standard drive-in fare, though there are some talented actors involved. Some risque humor calls for an adult rating. PG, A3

Films on TV Friday, Jan. 26, 9 p.ol. (ABC) - "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" (1976) - Peter Sellers is funny as Inspector Clouseau, foiling the machinations of his former superior (Herbert Lom), who has got control of a doomsday machine. The one-joke nature of the whole enterprise, however success through bungling - is wearing rather thin. Then, too, the sexual elements in -the humor, relatively restrained before, are becoming more prominent. PG, A3
