SEAWAY CRITICS NOW EATING THEIR WORDS le ee ee ee
Early 'Seaway' shows earned mich undeserved opie etene from Toronto newspaper TV writers. Perhaps there may have been Some personal motive involved, for surely this new TV series is just as good -or perhaps better -than many of its American counterparts. Miss Maxine Samels certainly deserved much better recognition than the newspapers gave her for her efforts in creating and producing this fine show. As has been proven on many other occasions, the critics were "all wet" !
Evidence of this fact, is the begrudging comments in the newspapers during the week-end of Dec. 10th when Tely TV writer Bob Blackburn and Star TV writer Roy Shields both wrote that the series "was improving", It may be remembered that in its early efforts even Bonanza was not praised by all the TV writers. This writer predicts that 'Seaway' will be as successful as that show is today. The story lines are good, the actors are good and the production (photography, Composition, design) is good.
And, a word here will not be amiss about the so-called ratings. In over fifteen years of televiewing I have not been called or asked about the programs I watch. Have you? Ratings in my opinion do not mean a thing. Why should the Sponsors be concerned about a trifling sampling of any program? Until a more accurate form of rating is devised, their only gauge is the sale of their merchandise.
Carry on Miss Samels !
