...season's one new cop 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...

Would-be Legionnaires-all male -captained chariots crafted from barrels and aluminum sheeting, drawn by teams of giggling girls. Chauvinistic? Perhaps, but the girls didn't mind. Nor did they balk at a slave auction, in which the prettiest sold for up to $50 in aid of a book fund. Successful bidders got a coed for the day to rub their backs, feed them grapes at a Roman banquet that night-and do whatever else that might pass by the watchful chaperones...
