Chrysler Motors Corp., which was to have been one of the biggest commercial sponsors of ABC’s “Amerika” miniseries next month, said it has pulled its ads off the program after reviewing part of it. The company said it found the six hours of the 14 1/2-hour program that it had been allowed to review “so intense and emotional” that it would be inappropriate for the company’s “upbeat product commercials.” A Chrysler spokesman declined to say how much commercial time Chrysler had ordered, but industry sources said it amounted to about 25% of that available.
