as we see it We don’t care much whether New York or Hollywood wins the current battle over which city will be the Na¬ tion’s TV capital—so long as some of the places in between are heard from every so often. CONTENTS WEEK OF MAY 21-27 Local Program Guide Opens Opposite Page 12 TELETYPES New York ...,. 3 Hollywood .23 There’s no doubt at all that the pol¬ ished, half-hour dramatic films and situation comedies can best be turned out in Hollywood. It’s just as evident that live hour-long dramas should originate close to Broadway and its huge supply of talented actors, writers and producers. In their concern over such shows, however, the networks sometimes for¬ get that all the television brains in the United States are not clustered on Madison Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. The folks out in the hin¬ terland have an idea or two once in a while, and it could be that those ideas deserve a chance. A few weeks ago NBC televised a square-dance convention from Okla¬ homa City—in color as well as in black and white. It was the most re¬ freshing half hour we’d seen in years. Granted there is only one square- dance convention a year, aren’t there other events worth televising from somewhere other than New York and Hollywood? What about the Barber Shop Quartet championships, turkey shoots in the South, “Frontier Days” in Cheyenne, rodeos all over the Southwest, state fairs, all the other events that now are seen on TV lo¬ cally or in short newsreel clips? We’re afraid there’s too much empha¬ sis on big-city appeal these days, too much similarity of shows. Let’s cross the Hudson River and the Sierras more often, fellows, and see all of America.
