all hours of the day to frighten
to death or wobble the morals of
innocent children and housewives.
A TV set is no safe diversion to
quiet child kept in by a rainy
day. You never know what in
struction in murder. mayhem or
infldelity he will receive.
Some of the evening programs
are stealing old tricks from bur-
lesque, too. One Of the continu-
ing weekly dramas has added a
strip tease, apparently in the hope
OF widening its audience. 1t can't
get through a half-hour without
some feminine member OF the cast
getting dressed or undressed or
both.
Sponsors are not blameless,
either. Girl we never saw before
walked into our living room one
night (via TV) wearing only her
slip, and began to shampoo her
hair. One of the new daytime
dramas, aimed at the feminine
audience, has picked up a number
OF male viewers because the spon-
sor displays the product where it
displays best, on shapely, par
TALLY clad models.
The variety shows. too, have
their moments when you are glad
the children are safely in bed.
Double entendre is fine. but single
entendre is something else again.
You might get through a night,
but you won't get through three
without meeting an old burlesoue
skit thinly disguised. And some of
those cleaned but still recognize
BILE jokes would have brought the
law down on a burlesque house,
paddock in hand.
Still. the remedy for this should
not be left to the FEC. If the
television broadcasters are smart,
they will start now on prepara-
ton to come before the FEC as
into an equity court. with clean
hands.
