Tales of the Texas Rangers Unlike other new Western shows on TV this season, Tales of the Texas Rangers makes no claims to being “adult” and “mature.” It’s telecast as part of CBS’ Saturday morning block of children’s programs and is slanted strictly for the kids. On that basis, it’s a good, honest Western. It’s sure to draw the small fry to their sets and is exciting enough to interest many adult Western fanciers. Rangers has two fine heroes in Willard Parker and Harry Lauter, who portray Texas peace officers. They might be compared to Dragnet’s Joe Friday and Frank Smith—but on horseback. Supporting actors, both “good guys” and “bad,” are competent. The stories range from the present era to pioneer days, depicting how the Rangers have progressed in their crime detection to the use of radio- equipped cars, helicopters, and other ultra-modern devices. A good word should be said for the excellent open¬ ing and closing scenes.— R.S. Modern Rangers Willard Parker, I., and Harry Lauter use shortwave telephones. FINE TUNING By Ollie Crawford France, Ekigland to have own $64,- 000 Question shows. Nobody like the Parisians for franc answers! • As for The 64,000 Pound Ques¬ tion^ England, it’s a sterling idea. • On the British show, it may be embarrassing to ask a buxom con¬ testant: “You now have 264 pounds. Do you want to try for 528?” It’s practically a show for quiz quids. The climax comes when Halliburton Marchmont asks: “You wouldn’t be vulgar enough to try for $64,000, old man?” • And this is only the beginning. A Swedish big-money give-away pro¬ gram is just around the kroner. • In Germany, they’ll be looking for easy marks. They already have one program where they give away pfifty pthousand pfennigs. The Chi¬ nese are experimenting with a 64,- 000 Yen Question, but that doesn’t sound quite right. • In India and Pakistan, the idea of the show is known as “making ru¬ pee.” • Then there’s the Dixie version. They give away $64,000 in Confed¬ erate money and a certificate guar¬ anteeing that the South will rise again.
