usually don't indulge in
idle gossip here, but fans of
TVS "Our Miss Brooks" might
be interested to learn that Con-
ME Brooks one-sided romance
with Prof. Phillip Boynton just
might wind up at the altar.
After all, Connie (Eve Arden
has been making eyes at Boynton
(Bob ROCKWELL in the Madison
High cafeteria for nearly three
years now. and a gal can't go on
waiting forever.
Before these TV nuptials take
place. though, there will have
to be some other changes made
in the CHS series.
"You understand. Of course,
that we're only toying with the
idea of marrying of Brooks. :"
says AL Lewis. writer and di-
rector on the show.
There are lot of problems
involved. First of all. we must
gradually let Boynton begin to
make a noise like a man. Up to
now he's been such a schnook
that it wouldn't make sense to
have a smart gal like Brooks
settling down to married bliss
with him.
Another concern. according to
Lewis. is that such marriage
would throw the series into COM
petition with other man-and-
wife domestic comedies on TV,
and he is not sure this would be
playing 1t smart.
An even bigger problem is the
matter of repeats. This season
the sponsor bought "Our Miss
Brooks" on 26 and 13 basis.
That is, 13 shows are repeated
in the 39-week season series.
1--WE can't very well have
Brooks and Boynton married one
week, and then run a repeat
film a week later in which she
still is needing him into making
a pass at her." Lewis observes.
Brooks marriage to Boynton
also would pose problem of
what to do with the title of the
show. Would it be "Our Mrs.
Boynton" or what?

That would eliminate separate,

The report was particularly
