FINE TUNING OLLIE CRAWFORD B ONINO show scheduled to end December 26. How can anybody fire the father of eight children on the day after Christmas? It sounds as if Scrooge had lande<i a job as an NBC vice-president. Bonino is the show where Ezio Pinza plays the part of an opera singer who is away from home a lot, but not always. His show has more youngsters running around than Pub¬ lic School 120. The show is one part Pinza and eight parts Juvenile Jury. All the storks must have stopped here on their way to the Stork Club. It’s the only show where most of the cast takes time off from re¬ hearsal to watch Howdy Doody. • The eight children have been moth¬ erless, homeless, and now, worst of all, they’re going to be sponsor-less. The only show with as many little mouths to feed is Zoo Parade. This program was like the Children’s Hour, squeezed into 30 minutes. • As one TV critic asked; “Who wrote this show? Papa Dionne?” • Bonino was just about the only show that had regular fire drills. It was a tough assignment for Ezio be¬ cause he not only had to learn the show, he had to help the kids with their homework. • Bonino already has eight chil¬ dren, but there’s still one way to save the show.
