as we see it Week of January 8-14 LOCAL PROGRAM GUIDE Bill Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy to most of us) is making a world tour. In Australia, recently, he said this: “I understand that in the near fu¬ ture television will go into operation here in Avistralia. Believe me—the sooner it comes, the better. It is ob¬ vious that television provides a source of tremendous entertainment, and it provides good entertainment as well. More important, however, is the way this entertainment is enjoyed. “In my own country, the war years and the strain and pressure of our way of life had brought a great change in the average family. Our families had grown apart from each other—each member seeking his own amusements separate from the others. It didn’t add up to a very healthy sit¬ uation for anyone, and it was espe¬ cially bad for the children. They were growing up away from their parents and missing the warmth, the closeness and the love that can exist only in a happy home. It was a bad condition— and then television came along. “Within a few years, television sets were in nearly every home in the country and our whole living habit had changed. Instead of running in all directions vainly seeking amuse¬ ment, Mother, Father, Sister and Brother found it in the last place they’d suspect—right in their own living room. “They also found that what they were seeking wasn’t entertainment at all—it was really just being close to¬ gether. Now our families have come to realize how much they had been missing, and our homes have come to be ‘homes’ and not just ‘houses.’ Our kids have fathers and mothers again, and our fathers and mothers have their kids back with them. That is the real miracle of television . . .” TV Vguide Opens Opposif* Page 12 Contents TELETYPES New York . 3 Hollywood . 22 TV GUIDE EXCLUSIVE Arthur Godfrey Talks . 4 SPECIAL FEATURES Disneyland Album; Fantasyland (Second Of A Series) . 8 Who Dood The Doodles? . 19 ARTICLES Oops, What He Said! . 10 Hair-Dos Ahead . 12 Gisele Mackenzie: No Johnny One-Note . 16 Cinderella House . 20 REVIEWS George Gobel Show . 13 Mayor Of The Town . 14 COLUMNS fine Tuning • By Ollie Crawford .. .23 Confidentially ...
