...weeks of preparation supervised by Scholastic Magazine and four weeks of program briefing by NBC. When they hit something that needs clarifying, they can order up a film and the problem is explained away on a giant screen over their heads.

...This staggering overdose of nostalgia does not bother Beurt SerVaas, 52, the editor and publisher whose name is the most unfamiliar thing about the new Post.
