...Margaret Tyzack, as Jolyon's cousin Winifred, marries a ne'er dowell. And then there's Soames, Winifred's brother, who looks like a cross between Abraham Lincoln and a character from Dark Shadows. Soames, done to a turn by Eric Porter, is a dour sort, with never a thought of sex in his legal mind. Ah, but tune in the next week, when Soames meets Irene, portrayed by Nyree Dawn Porter...
...Rome with Love (CBS) is the same sort of savorless trifle, with John Forsythe back to the laugh-packed responsibilities of bachelor fatherhood. In this, his third series, he plays a widowed history professor from Iowa who relocates with his three daughters in sunny, funny Italy. Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (ABC) exploits both the classic 1936 film comedy of the same name and the stupefying breakthrough in transcultural humor of The Beverly Hillbillies. Deeds is a bumpkin newspaper editor who unexpectedly inherits the financial empire of a robber-baron uncle and moves to Manhattan to redress family wrongs...
...isolated mid-Pacific island and, in the process, lost its radio and any hope of ever returning to civilization. So the kids, stereotypes to a man (one militant black, one racist white Southerner, one rebellious daughter of a Senator) have to create their own world in a sort of college-age Lord of the Flies. In the opener, they played Hobbes with themselves and plausibility. The life of the series should be nasty, brutish and-considering New People's kamikaze time slot opposite Laugh-In and Here's Lucy-short...
...clichés, some seemingly as long as a half time ceremony. Charlton Heston brings his usual Pleistocene presence to the part of Cat, presumably granted him because his rain-barrel chest wouldn't look scrawny in the locker-room scenes, but everyone else stands around looking sort of embarrassed. The last tackle comes as a welcome relief, as Heston and the film fall one final time to the gridiron with a resounding thud...
...that bowdlerizing could become almost as unbridled a lust as lust itself. An expurgator may begin quietly enough by "lopping" or "cutting." He might omit, say, Sodom and Gomorrah from Old Testament stories. But before he is through, he is likely to end up as a compulsive cleaner-"the sort of man who is capable of bringing out an expurgated edition of Wordsworth," as a Victorian clergyman with a penchant for editing was once described...
