V y Old Faces In Mew Acts Critics who like to carp about “the same old stuff’ on TV will likely have to eat their words this coming season^ at least, so far as comedy and variety shows are concerned. About the only things that will remain the same are the channel numbers. Milton Berle is switching from New York to Hollywood, from black-and-white to color and, in several shows, from comedy to straight drama. He will do 13, aU told, alternating in his Tuesday night time spot with such notable col¬ leagues as Bob Hope, Mar¬ tha Raye, Dinah Shore and Betty Hutton. J ackie Gleason is switch¬ ing from live to film, from an hour to 30 minutes, and from variety to situ¬ ation comedy in the form of The Honeymoon- ers. Perry Como is expanding from three weekly quarter hours on CBS to a Saturday night hour on NBC. And the medium will be welcoming one of the better- known musical comedy clowns, Phil Silvers. Berle will start the NBC ball rolling on Tues¬ day. The network’s other big variety gun, it is devoutly hoped, will be the Simday night Variety Hour, laimched during the summer to pare down Ed Sullivan’s rating. Sullivan, of course, will continue as one of CBS’ two major artillery pieces, his Toast of the Town ^s week being renamed The Ed Sullivan Show. W
