MY FAVORITE HUSBAND T HANKS to the combined efforts of Joan Caulfield, Barry Nelson and a group of capable writers, TV can boast one of its few new success¬ ful situation comedies this season in My Favorite Husband (CBS). Built around the trials and tribula¬ tions of a young married couple, the format isn’t too far distant from that of I Love Lucy. But after all, what situation comedy is? Besides that, Barry and Joan haven’t yet had a baby on the show. Regardless, Favorite Husband is good enough to garner its own high audience ratings. Although both Miss Caulfield and Nelson have appeared on TV dramatic shows previously, this is their first regular series. Whoever dreamed up the idea of teaming them in a hus- band-and-wife show deserves a vote of thanks from viewers. Both young and attractive, they could well be Joan Caulfield: her show is lots of fun. that married couple next door. Even more important, both are talented. Nelson is a minor bank executive with a small home, Sunday golf dates and the rest. Miss Caulfield plays his slightly flighty wife. The scripts im¬ bue her with sufficient common sense to be able to get away with her fri¬ volity. The show’s comedy lines are bright enough to overcome its stand¬ ard ideas. In addition, the fun lies in the way it’s played, and it’s played extremely well.— R. S. FINE TUNING By OLLIE CRAWFORD H ALLOWEEN brings special tele¬ vision programs. It’s the night for that big panel show “What’s My Witch?” • The big program this week, na¬ turally, will be the Red Skeleton Show. • Halloween is the night the witches used to roam, before they started staying home to watch television. The gals got a little tired of jumping out and yelling “Boo,” because everybody thought it was the Milton Berle pro¬ gram. One guy knew it was Halloween because he got ghosts on his tele¬ vision set. Robert Montgomery Is presenting a show in which boy meets ghoul. • The witches usually fly at midnight, but this year they held out for Class A time. One witch couldn’t make the TV show because she had a previous spooking engagement. She knew it was time for the show, just by looking at her witch watch. • The witches spend the rest of the year in graveyards, which are not necessarily neighborhood movies. • It’s a sign of the times. One kid saw a witch flying on her broomstick and said: “Oh, look. Space Patrol .” 16
