...this season's less than robust crop, there are some potential export candidates. Among the one-acters, The New Girl, by Vaughn McBride is a very winning entry. The setting is a room in the Flossie Patch Nursing Home in Burley, Idaho. Clarissa (Anne Pitoniak) is bedridden, and Flo (Susan Kingsley) tools in on a health" to wheelchair get out the reporting first that time she and she'll "faked do it again. "I'm a lifer," responds Clarissa, but not despairingly. The two women are feisty graveyard jesters and the word terminal is not in their...
...course, has a supporting cast of thousands. Along with the home-grown aristocrats, there are all the invited guests: political (Nancy Reagan); monarchical (Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, the King and Queen of Sweden, the Duke and Duchess of Liechtenstein); social (Sabrina Guinness, Sir Hugh Casson); and sentimental (Flo Moore, who kept Charles' Cambridge rooms in order; Henry and Cora Sands, who provided Charles with some homemade bread during holidays in Eleuthera; Patrick and Nancy Robertson, an American couple whose son Lady Diana played nanny to in 1979 and 1980). Inevitably there are also a few conspicuous by their...

...Holliday plays her, Flo is television's Mae West: sex is the one thing she has on her mind, but, as she talks about it, in her barbecued accent, it is funny as well as fun. Rarely have a wiggle and a leer seemed so innocent. In this, her opening show, she returns to what must be the pokiest spot in the prairies, where the chief attraction is an indoor mall with an outdoor escalator. The local bar, where she spent the happiest days of her merrily misguided youth, is on the verge of bankruptcy, and Flo...
Coming just after M*A*S*H, which was No. 2 in the ratings last week, Flo has everything going for it but a knock down script. The best line is a leftover from Alice, "Kiss mah grits!" The writ ing is not bad, by sitcom standards, but it is not nearly as good as Polly Holliday deserves. She is one of TV's truly funny women, and she needs a script as frothy as the stuff coming out of the cooler at the Yellow Rose...
