Last week, at the urging of her ABC packagers ("They thought the show needed a little goosing-up"), Virginia introduced her first male panelist, David Merrick. The show bombed (Merrick was positively fatuous), and at its close, Virginia asked for a mail-in referendum on further gentlemen callers...
