leaves of?, will go on entrancing the ladies with his humor, which often is very good, his patter and his wide- eyed innocence. The new Bob Crosby Show, a daily live venture starting this fall, prom¬ ises to brighten the 3:30 to 4 P.M. slot for CBS. This variety and musi¬ cal series headed by Bob, the brother of Bing, in case everyone didn’t know, will feature the famous Bobcats, an instrumental group, and the Modern- aires, a vocal combination. NBC’s new show. Home, (still a tentative title) planned for airing sometime towards the end of Sep¬ tember, will be a women’s magazine of the air. Probably an hour long, it will feature fashions, cooking and guests. Patterned after Today, and sneak previewed on that show last August, Home, which also originates out of a street level studio, may make a trend out of pedestrian viewing. More Time For Godfrey And, of course, there’s a healthier Godfrey, returned to a much relieved nation after an operation that received as diligent coverage as the Korean peace signing. Two sponsors have since grabbed the opportunity to ex¬ tend his viewing time to 90 minutes each Monday and Wednesday A.M. and to 75 minutes each Tuesday and Thursday morning. The Wheel of Fortune, which re¬ wards heroes, Samaritans and any other kind of good-deeders, continues unchanged. Emcee Todd Russell pro¬ vides the good clean fun and the pathos comes from the guests. Art Linkletter’s House Party, go¬ ing strong on TV since last September, promises no change in format. Wel¬ come Travelers, another veteran of the airwaves (both shows started in radio) has only a new time slated, 4-4:30 P.M., starting September 21. Bride and Groom, where couples are married in front of the TV cam¬ era for the $2000 haul, will play Lo¬ hengrin as loudly as ever. Dennis James will introduce Turn to a Friend on ABC, five days a week. Well, Bless My Suds For lovers of soap opera, two grip¬ ping tales were premiered on August 3. Followers of the cult should find some heart-tugging moments in Three Steps to Heaven, the adventures of Poco, a small town girl living in New York. On live, Monday-Friday, the show is the creation of Irving Vendig, a man who’s already proved he knows his way around the circuit with Search for Tomorrow. As Three Steps fades. Follow Your Heart enters hard on its heels. This one, authored by Elaine Carrington, of radio serial fame, is the tale and trials of Julie Fielding, a wealthy society girl. NBC also has Hawkins Falls, (popu¬ lation 6200), where the town rather than the people is the focal point of the story; and The Bennetts. Both continue without a change, as will CBS’s Love of Life, Search for To¬ morrow, and The Guiding Light. 25
