TODAY

Pueblo. An ABC drama about the North Korean seizure of the electronic intelligence ship, USS Pueblo. This repeat, starring Hal Holbrook, supposedly works on a dream-like structure, and since it's all based on the public record, that's probably the best way to do it. Ch. 5, 9 p.m. 2 hours.

FRIDAY

CBS Reports. A special report on "Shanghai," the largest city in the People's Republic of China. Ch. 7, 10 p.m. 1 hour.

SATURDAY

Pacific-8 Basketball. UCLA and USC will battle it out beneath the boards. The Bruins have not been the same since the Fighting Irish of Norte Dame showed them the power and the glory of the Christian way. Hopefully, they've converted by now. Ch. 8, 11:30 p.m. Live.

Portrait: The Man from Independence. Robert Vaughn plays the young Harry Truman, putting his life on the line to fight corruption in Missouri. Some trivia: early in his career, Vaughn played an amusing character in a half-hour Hitchcock mystery. His name is A. Dunster Lowell (we all know what the A stands for), better known as the Boston Terrier, criminologist. Relying on the sophisticated gadgetry concocted by his ex-Harvard physics prof (an absentminded old codger), Lowell solves a homicide before the murderer can say U.N.C.L.E. Ch. 5, 10 p.m. 1 hour.

WEDNESDAY

The Execution of Private Slovik. A provocative dramatization of the only execution of a deserter in World War II, the first such execution since the Civil War. Ch. 4, 8:30 p.m., 2 1/2 hours.
