We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Correspondence for this department should be addressed to Letters Editor, TV GUIDE, Wm. Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh 19, Pa. Love Stories Can’t something be done about love stories? Can’t the sponsors put something else on? If all I could put on was soap operas I’d quit. All love stories are the same and progress slowly. —Bill Collins, Oakmont, Pa. Where Is Haleloke? Tried to watch Show Wagon on July 9 but had very unsatisfactory reception. It was printed in TV Guide that Haleloke would be fea¬ tured. We could hear her but could not bring any picture in. I never realized how much I missed Hale¬ loke until I heard her sing. Write about her soon. We also like Slim Bryant and His Wildcats. That Jer¬ ry Wallace is sure a wonderful ban- joist.— Mrs. Walter G. Brautigam, Mercer, Pa. [Our August 6th issue will feature Haleloke as the last in our series of features on ex-God¬ frey ites. — Ed.] Crow To Pick I have a crow to pick with Mrs. A. C. of Wilkinsburg, Pa. (Letters, July 16), whose letter stated “it’s Godfrey’s business.” Who’s she kid¬ ding? I say it’s partly his business' and partly the public’s. I’m sure he’d have a better show if he would¬ n’t be so independent and take a few suggestions. The whole trouble with him is he wants to be the whole show himself. If it wouldn’t be for us, there wouldn’t be any business. Who runs out and buys his products? I do, and you do, despite his everlast¬ ing jibbering. I think the public has every right to complain about his firings. Now he should do some hir¬ ing and let us see a good show, see¬ ing less of him. Now do you see why we should mind our own business when his business is partly ours, too? —Miss N. H., Mt. Union, Pa. “Hi There” Am very displeased with the gen¬ tleman who starts out with “Hi There” every Saturday night before Red Foley’s Ozark Jubilee. I don’t think it’s a very nice thing to do to Mr. Foley or his guests. Half of their songs are only sung or never finished because of this gentleman and his “Hi There.” —Jody Durkin, Pittsburgh, Pa. Moment of Prayer I seldom watch programs during the day. Some time ago, however, I tuned in to the Bill Brant Show. What I liked best was the moment of prayer. Why has this been dis¬ continued? We should have more of these moments to remind us that all good things come from above.— Mrs. S. Marseno, Arnold, Pa. [A prayer and a hymn are a regular segment of Bill’s Friday show. — Ed.] Potpourri H. A. Brown, Altoona: The theme music of Star Tonight is “Indiscre¬ tion,” from the movie, “The Indis¬ cretion of an American Wife” . . . C. B.
