ABC-TVs Juggling Act
Is Really, Really Big

II ABC-TV's ambitious plans
for the 1861 season, as re-
ported in The Star for Wednes-
day, March Z, prompted you to
wonder if the new specials"
and shows would result in
change of time for some of the
old ones, you're right.
In this respect, ABC is no
different from rival CHS,
which is also contemplating
considerable re S h u fiji ing of
shows for the fall.
Here and there, of course,
voices will be raised in protest
and not from just the fans.
In this weeks Variety, Dick
Powell, angered by the upcom-
ing shift of -Four Star Play

HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 10 (P1.
will success spoil George
Gobel?
That was the question asked
in TV circles a year ago fol-
lowing the sensational rise of
the virtually unknown comic
to the top rank of television
stars. The question was not
out of order in an entertain
ment medium that devours
material and performers at a
furious rate.
George Gobel now is in his
sophomore year in a prime
Saturday evening spot. So far
his success seems firmly estab-
lished, despite the fact his
show has slipped from the top
10 Nielsen ratings it regu-
larly held last year.
Some other audience rating
systems still record the Gobel
show in the higher brackets
and, considering its relatively
small cost, it's among the best
buys in TV for sponsors.
Gobel says he doesn't worry
about the shows audience
rating. His comment to Pro-
ducer Hal Kanter before each
show is significant. He shakes
Kanter's hand and says: Re
member, no matter what hap
pens, you're my buddy. We
can't win them ALL"
Film Due Soon
Capitalizing on his TV fame,
Paramount will release Co
bells first starring picture,
The Birds and the Bees"
this spring. 1t is a remake of
The Lady Eve" and co-stars
Mitzi Gaynor and David Nj
ven.
Consolidating Gobel'S initial
popularity is the rsult of care
full planning. Masterminding
the creative end is Kanter,
tall. good looking onetime gag
man and film writer c"The
Rose Tattoo") who produces
and helps write the Gobel
show. The boss in business
matters is David O'Malley,
veteran agent who first dis
covered the comic in Chicago
in 1945.
Kanter predicts long success
for George-"because he is not
so much a comic as he is a
humorist."
But he feels the Gobel show
should be seen less after this
season dts on three out Of
four weeks.
Its a cliche by now" says
the producer, but the fact re-
mains that if even your best
and most delightful friends
came to visit you every week.
you'd get tired of them after
a while"
Guiding the Gobel destiny
in this and other matters is
