Senior on the superannuated list is Ozzie and Harriet, which has persisted for 13 years. Perry Mason will sign off after nine years, Donna Reed after eight, and Hazel and The Flintstones after six. The top-rated Dick Van Dyke Show is the only one retiring-after five years-of its own volition. Explains Van Dyke: "We wanted to quit while we were still proud of the show...
...Major trouble in color consistency is that there is no uniform standard used by all production studios on all cameras, so that there are as many transmission-tone variations as there are color girls. Often, as Huntley and Brinkley report, the audience just gets Chet tinted correctly (healthy suntan, hazel-brown eyes) when the producer cuts to David, who comes in as a lurid lavender. By the time Brinkley is attuned (pale pink skin, blue eyes), there is a switch to a remote Frank McGee looking sickly green at Cape Kennedy. Similarly, every break for a commercial or shift...
...hack out a script about a fumbling hero. Instead, Brooks and Henry decided to make him a bumbling zero. Brooks recalls, "I was sick of looking at all those nice sensible situation comedies. They were such distortions of life. If a maid ever took over my house like Hazel, I'd set her hair on fire. I wanted to do a crazy, unreal comic-strip kind of thing about something besides a family. No one had ever done a show about an idiot before. I decided to be the first." The idiot is Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, played...
Demand is so high that the search for fresh water and for the means of putting it to work economically has become an expanding challenge to scientific ingenuity. Dowsers, who used to roam the land with their unreliable witch-hazel divining rods, are no longer adequate-although there are still enough of them around to call a meeting of the American Society of Dowsers Inc. this week in Vermont. Man has taught himself to prospect for new sources of water by seismic refraction and aerial photography. Since World War II, engineers have gone into the remotest valleys to dig wells...
...Slippery." Handsome, hazel-eyed Jimmy Clark is the perfect pro driver. At 5 ft. 7¾ in. and 150 Ibs., he is even the perfect size: small enough to squeeze into the 2-ft.-wide cockpit of a 1,000-lb. Formula I car, big enough to see over its bonnet. He has the hands and arms of a jockey; his eyesight is phenomenal. His reflexes are so fast that he could probably pluck a fly out of midair. Clark's business adviser, John Stephenson, remembers a midwinter ride in a sedan with Jim two years ago. "The road...
