...Frank Sinatra Show (Tues. 8 p.m., CBS-TV), with the unenviable job of bucking the Milton Berle show, puts its major reliance on song. To the accompaniment of girlish squeals from the studio audience, Sinatra and his guests (Perry Como, Frankie Laine, the Andrews Sisters, Broderick Crawford) alternate their songs with rather painful comedy sketches.

Both give good, straightforward performances, and get author Kanin's ideas across well. Crawford's Harry Brock is not quite up to what Paul Douglas achieved on the stage, however. Crawford plays the junkman as a surly oaf and a menace--both of which he is, of course. But the part is a comic one as well, and Mr. Crawford hasn't done much to earn laughs. After...
