• ROOTS: THE NEXT GENERATIONS (Soundtracks) Return: This adaptation of Alex Haley's best seller won five Emmys (including Outstanding Limited Series), attracted more viewers than any other program in TV history and established the miniseries as a going concern. So much for its significance. Here is the story "Roots" depicts a century in the Haley-family history-from his ancestors' life in 18th-century tribal Africa to their emancipation in the post-Civil War South. It begins in Africa with the birth of Kunta Kinte, Haley's great-great-great-grandfather. For Kunta, village life is simple but rich in tradition. But when he's 17, his carefree life ends abruptly: he's kidnapped, chained and sent to America. The series continues through this week. Cast (Part 1) Kunta: LeVar Burton. Kunta's Mother: Cicely Tyson. Kunta's Father: Thalmus Rasulala. Davies: Edward Asner. Slater: Ralph Waite. Wrestler: Ji-Tu Cumbuka. Brima Cesay: Harry Rhodes. Fanta: Ren Woods. Nyo Boto: Maya Angelou. Kintango: Moses Gunn. Kadi Touray: O.J. Simpson. (2 hrs.)

• ROOTS: THE NEXT GENERATIONS (Soundtracks) Debut: A seven-part sequel to the miniseries that attracted more viewers than any other in TV history. Picking up where "Roots" left off, "Roots: The Next Generations" spans 88 years in Alex Haley's family history and recounts a strife-torn chronicle of racial pride and prejudice, and political machinations over civil-rights issues. Part 1 opens in 1882 in Henning, Tenn., where domestic dramas embroil two families. Haley's great-grandfather, a poor blacksmith named Tom Harvey (Georg Stanford Brown), raises objections to his daughter's suitor, a fair-skinned Negro. On the other side of the tracks, a prominent attorney named Colonel Warner (Henry Fonda) faces a crisis with his son Jim (Richard Thomas), who is in love with a black schoolteacher (Fay Hauser). The series continues on the next five nights and concludes on Sunday, Feb. 25. Elizabeth: Debbi Morgan. Irene Harvey: Lynne Moody. Mrs. Warner: Olivia de Havilland. Andy Warner: Marc Singer. Chicken George Moore: Avon Long. John Dolan: Brian Mitchell. Beeman Jones: Greg Morris. Earl Crowther: Paul Kosio. Cynthia: Cynthia Sye. (2 hrs.)
