"HOMEFRONT" -- 10 p.m. Tuesdays, KGTV, Channel 10: Life in a small Ohio company town in the postwar '40s. Sex, polio, great hairdos, fine overacting, sex, labor problems, McCarthyism, adultery, sex, death, birth, sex, many wardrobe changes, Hattie Winston singing gospel songs, sex . . . Need we say more? "Homefront" does melodrama well, and gentle humor even better. It's a high-principled soap opera. As such, it manages lines like this: "I've read `Das Kapital'! Have you?" That from a handsome, ruthless newspaper editor to his strong-willed-yet-innocent seductee.
Chances of survival: Fair to good.
