Omnibus: Prettied up for the color cameras and invited by NBC to take George Gobel's place on Tuesday night, this good grey lady did not quite know what to do with herself.

In addition to his Tegular CBS chores, Alfred Hitchcock will produce and direct ten films for NBC's Suspicion; Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis return with six specials each...
