...Stony to audition as a contestant. The category chosen for the pastor: great love stories. After producers fed him the romantic answers in "screening" sessions, he rolled up $20,000 on CBS's $64,000 Question and $64,000 Challenge. What happened to the money? The minister spent some on himself, gave $12,000 to a home for orphans. Said he: "I wanted to be a Protestant Father Flanagan...
...breed of editorial irresponsibility: the purchase of shows sight unseen. Last spring, Packager Don Sharpe sold Mr. Lucky to CBS; at the time he had neither cast nor pilot-only a script that was later discarded.

She considers the value of the program a preventative...
...typewriter, was a moneymaker before it went into rehearsal. All it needs now, as Author Axelrod sees it, is a new finish. Boasting the most improbable plot since the satyrical heyday of Thorne Smith, Charlie tells the story of a $3,000-a-week Hollywood writer (Charlie Sorell) who spent most of his time in bed with other men's wives and is brought back after death-in the body of Lauren Bacall. "In some sort of jazzy, Old Testament way," says his best friend (Sydney Chaplin), "you're being punished." The show had one ending when...
