...were horse operas. The networks have saddled up no fewer than 35 of the bangtail brigade, and 30 of them are riding the dollar-green range of prime night time (from 7:30 to 10 p.m.). Independent stations too have taken to the field with every wring-tailed old oat snorter they could rustle out of Hollywood's back pasture. This season, while other shows, from quizzes to comedies, were dropping right and left like well-rehearsed Indians, not a single western left the air.

This wild oat is somewhat distinguished from the others in France's ever-normal granary by Fernandel, France's top comedian, playing the illegitimate tyke's paternal grandpa. As the headstrong village baker, Fernandel is volubly insistent that his son would never do such a thing, refuses to recognize the infant as a descendant...
