This week we're in Philadelphia, all set to have a good time. We're halfway through the first month of the year, and as you'll see, some of the new season's hopefuls are already dropping off the schedule. Whoever said April was the cruelest month obviously wasn't a television producer.
Distinguished guests on today's shows, with Frank Sinatra on Dinah Shore's show (not only singing, but cooking spaghetti!), and Orson Welles reading the story of Noah on Dean Martin's. And if you read Saturday's piece, you'll recognize that the guest appearing with Andy Griffith on David Frost's show is his longtime agent, Dick Linke.
Rocket Robin Hood! Remember that cartoon? I'll bet it's probably been 40 years since I've thought about it. Upon further reflection, I find that I wasn't missing a thing.
11:55am - Cover Up with Adele. Not that Adele.
Tonight on The French Chef, Julia Child makes "la tarte Tatin, an upside-down tart often served in the best Paris restaurants."
It Takes a Thief hasn't even been off the air a year, and it's already in syndication. That, with the rest o the primetime lineup, makes for a pretty good night of classic television, if I do say so myself.

And so ends Vince Edwards' return to series television tonight with the final episode of Matt Lincoln, followed by the end of the first half of the Neil Simon sitcoms, Barefoot in the Park, and Christopher George's Fugitive-like series The Immortal. Matt Lincoln will be replaced by the debut of Alias Smith and Jones, while Barefoot in the Park makes room for Make Room for Granddaddy, and The Odd Couple moves to Friday in order for Dan August, the target of Cleveland Amory's review this week, to take over the hour that included The Immortal.

Would you have any idea that Five Branded Women was about World War II intrigue? No matter; Judith Crist calls it "a shoddy 1960 international mishmash that shows you five lovely ladies as near-bald collaborators in World war II." Does that mean it isn't worth watching, then?
