BAD RECEPTION: It's been an unlucky season for TV shows with Ventura County ties. . . . "Angel Falls," the CBS soap opera filmed in Santa Paula, was canceled in October. This week, CBS put away "Family Album"-which starred Peter Scolari of Ojai-after it tied for 86th place among 102 shows. . . . That's better than "Against the Grain," also taped in Santa Paula, which tied for 91st. NBC has yet to pull the plug on that one, though it's being preempted until Dec. 17. . . . Even "Murphy Brown" has slipped since Ojai's Scott Bakula became a recurring character. Last season's No. 4 show, "Murphy," finished 18th last week.
