...normally Republican Ohio, some abnormal things are happening. When physicians drove up to a meeting of the Butler County Medical Society, an astonishing number of their cars bore L.B.J. bumper stickers. Yet, at the same time many of those same cars carried a second sticker with another name on it: TAFT...
...mother, Morticia, with a chilling verve that should make any dead-blooded man want to share a bier with her. Her husband Gomez (John Astin) and Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan) are quite sufficiently insane, but one could research the annals of television and not discover the likes of her butler Lurch, who is played by Ted Cassidy, 6 ft. 9 in., 250 Ibs., with a massive, embalmed face and a deft touch on the parlor spinet...
...Lifts. U.S. big business in the past has operated much more closely to capacity in times of economic advance-thus enabling small business to meet much of the extra demand-than it is doing now.

But Scriptwriter John Michael Hayes sticks doggedly to the substance of a story that was all shadows, revealing a sure instinct for the nonessential. In this version, Governess Kerr and Butler Mills are obviously made for each other and for a formula fadeout. The younger Mills, abrim with mental health and ebullient spirits and thus strikingly miscast, suggests that she alone knows what it is that makes this Garden grow. Potash? Peat moss? Lime? No, just gobs and gobs of Pollyannalysis...
