''Up to the Minute,'' patterned after the Phil Donahue show, focused on a different issue each week and was aimed at a female audience. From the start, however, its hosts - Harry Reasoner, Morley Safer, Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley - were unable to devote substantial time to it, given the demands of their ''60 Minutes'' jobs. The result, as many critics noted, was that they were forced to tape shows for which they clearly did not have sufficient time to prepare. Several complained privately about the added burden of doing the show. ''Up to the Minute'' is expected to continue until the end of the year, and no replacement has yet been chosen.
