...commendable performances as the middle-aged 12-year old who combines an earnest wisdom with a gleeful sense of comedy. Scales begins unevenly marring his performance with unclear diction, rushed lines, and a soft tone, but once he gains his stride he does a good job as Murray's sidekick. He particularly excels in the climatic scene when Murray must decide whether to capitulate to society and return to work. Scales protests Murray's decision with devastating honesty and childlike earnestness...
...best-organized Republican, by far, is Ronald Reagan, 66, who used about $1 million in leftover money from last year's campaign to set up a political action group called Citizens for the Republic. Its executive director is Lyn Nofziger, a longtime Reagan sidekick, and its steering committee sports almost every key Reagan adviser from the '76 campaign, including Campaign Manager John Sears.

Dogpatchers went calling on the snowbound citizens of Lower Slobbovia, home of Lena the Hyena, world's ugliest woman. Moonbeam McSwine wallowed happily in the mud and tried unsuccessfully to ensnare Abner with her buxom charms. As Capp once said...
...show. (The cops are known as Chippies to California motorists, but NBC quickly saw the problem with that title.) Daniel Boone is back, or rather Young Dan'l Boone. This time he is 25 years old and accompanied by a runaway slave and preteen sidekick on his wilderness walks for CBS. For long-neglected horse opera fans, Rod Taylor will bit The Oregon Trail as a pioneer plodding west for NBC, Big Hawaii will go even farther west on NBC-to Paradise Ranch, where a cantankerous family of cattle ranchers haggle over their island Ponderosa...
