MORGAN, MORGAN, Morgan, Morgan, You never even had a chance to be the fairest child in the land. You got your reputation right from the start by flitting around as the raciest, most hot-blooded flamingo ever to fluff its plumage-of which years in some of the best-on network television. Why, Reverend Jerry still hasn't stopped trembling from the last time he saw your high-calls-and low cuts. But, while popping the reverend's cork was fun, it wasn't enough. On the little screen, you're only supposed to suggest the risque--show a little...
...like four of these: it's a fair bet Grandma and Aunt Betty will go for this, so look a little harder. If you want that sibling to grow up very fast, Shock Value by John Waters will do it.

Joel Segal, a senior vice president of Manhattan's Ted Bates ad agency, was aroused enough to fault giant P & G for giving "credence and support to a bunch of radicals...
...East of Eden is situated somewhat west of Dallas and north of Flamingo Road. Richard Shapiro's adaptation is terribly tasteful and tastefully terrible; it reiterates themes ad nauseam, while denying the characters any emotional room in which to maneuver. Director Harvey Hart has allowed his cast to display some of the most ludicrously solemn overacting since Exorcist II: The Heretic...
