...precariously from one 13-week option to the next, but Nelson's I Remember Mama (Fri. 8 p.m., CBS) has been on the air regularly for nearly five years with the same sponsor (General Foods), the same basic cast, the same editor, Frank Gabrielson, and the same producer, Carol Irwin. Veteran actors Peggy Wood and Judson Laire are still playing a lovable pair of Norwegian immigrants in San Francisco; Robin Morgan, Dick Van Patten and Rosemary Rice are still their Americanized children. Everyone has just gotten a little older...
...prancing steeds. In Denver, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer wept giant tears at Daniels and Fisher Stores Co., and the May Department Stores Co. built Santa's toy factory for the city's youngsters. At Detroit's J. L. Hudson Co., a delightful doll named Christmas Carol clutched a candy-striped Teddy bear on her visit to the North Pole.

He had been close to all the education in Boston, seen lots of really neat places. Soon Vag would hear the blaring street noises again, but now they would sound different because he knew the city, and its history, and its people...
...dramatic honors, is handsomely produced, well-cast and ambitiously directed. The TV Hour's only apparent handicap is a lack of good scripts. Last week's Brandenburg Gate dealt familiarly with the cold war in beleaguered Berlin, and the plot leaned heavily on devices borrowed from Carol Reed films and Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Jack Palance was effective as the present-day Sydney Carton who gives his life to free Maria Riva's husband from a Communist death cell...
