Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet (Sun. 6 p.m., CBS). A Mr. & Mrs. show with a difference: taste...
...that his son would get comfortably to Parliament and stand for Reform. Instead, Percy took direct action against what he conceived as oppression, social and personal, by marrying a pretty schoolgirl who didn't want to go back to school. Blunden supplies attractive pictures of this adventure-of Harriet "ready to die of laughter" as the 20-year-old Percy, slim and shrill-voiced, stood on a Dublin balcony hurling moral tracts at selected passersby.

...Playwright Loos's Cinderellative, Actress Hayes is on an acting spree. The portrayer of such moral monuments as Queen Victoria and Harriet Beecher Stowe lets fly with a tipsy tango, bawls through the mike a specially written Rodgers & Hammerstein ditty, cuts up under a table, does a swan dive off a bar, sees bottles light up, hears a cash register strike up a tune. Actress Hayes is hardly a born vaudevillian, but she makes what is clumsy about her also seem comical; and she romps through her new role with the gusto of a paperweight that suddenly finds itself...
