...Vice President Fred Silverman is rapidly ridding that network of its lingering Saturday Evening Post image, the casualty rate was the highest of all. Out, in addition to Sullivan, were such other golden oldies as Andy Griffith, Jim Nabors, The Beverly Hillbillies, Hogan's Heroes, Family Affair and Hee Haw.

Others include a giant mouse that chases both Americans and the Viet Cong out of Vietnam and a scientist who tries to change the direction of Western culture by involving everyone in a game he calls "Life." The best story...
