...Patricia Bowman Show (Sat., 6:45 p.m., CBS-TV), is a fast-paced series of song & dance turns, mercifully free from television's usual determined chatter. Ballerina Bowman, who dances to such popular tunes as Over the Rainbow, is usually left too breathless by her own performance to do much more as M.C. than announce the name of the next act, e.g., a smooth vocal quartet called The Pastels. The closing commercial was as original as anything on the show: a woman's restless legs were propped against a wall while her voice described over the telephone...
...Light blues ran a good deal too . . . when the camera swept the shirt-sleeved crowd one had the impression that all the customers had been laundered together with too much bluing in the water . . .

Harburg and Fred Saidy; produced by Cheryl Crawford in association with Harburg & Saidy) is a lavish attempt by the creators of Finian's Rainbow to repeat their success. They fail, in part perhaps from too laboriously repeating their formula. Once again they have mingled the tinkling sheep bells of fantasy with the braying loudspeakers of satire, this time robbing the Arabian Nights while ribbing American Big Business. What results is all the hurly-burly of a carnival with very little of the gaiety...
