...Helen Reddy Show: The bad format of a variety show taken to its logical barren conclusion. Take the most consistently banal, if not truly offensive performer on the popular scene and fill the hour with bad guests. She claims to be a feminist, yet permits such racist chauvinist crap as Flip Wilson's Geraldine act to take place on her show.

"I helped my son Dirk plant 755 tomato plants a month ago," she remarked, "and found muscles that I haven't felt in years. By now the corn is about ready; we'll be having the first ears next week. We won't have any strawberries this year, but Til can and jam the peaches from our own trees in the early fall." Mrs. Wise also...
