WHAT'S AHEAD
Video: Move
, By DICK KLEINER
, ' of Tht NBA
NEW YORK (NEA) There's
'now on tho crystal hall,
i Until the repair man gets here,
''We'll just have to do some good
C guessing about whither television
will drift in '55. But some things
; leem fairly certain:
. 1. Spectaculars are here to stay
and they 11 get more spectacu
f lar.
( 2. Filmed TV shows will get
t atrongcr even invading one
field of TV entertainment hither-
to unspoiled. "
k; 3. This year, for some stars, is
' 1 crucial one. It's a turning-point
year, with old favorites facing
declines and new favorites com
ing up.
4. TV will spend more time im
proving the non-prime hours to a
greater extent morning, day
time, late night.
HAZARDOUS GUESSES
Those seem to be the major
trends. This is, of course, a haz
ardous time to guess about tele
vision, because TV's New Year is
in September. Its then that the
brass dreams up the startling In
novations. So any predicting, as
of January, is therefore an extra
long distance project.
But, judging on 1954, the spec
taculars are permanent residents
of the coaxial cable. While they
, were often dull and severely
; criticized, they got high ratings,
Unquestionably, this was due to
the high candle-power of the
. itars they employed.
ON COLOR FILM David
Wayne may steal TV's star
limelight.
ONTO THE NET Ernie
Kovacs' local show will

The "specs" represent a major
change in programming philoso
phy, and the first real program
ming 'difference between radio
and TV. Radio remember
dio? was always scheduled on a
definite system. Every Sunday
night at seven, for example, was
Jack Benny time.
But the specs change all that.
You have to have a scorecard
around to be sure what's going
to be on TV these days. Your
memory is no good. One week
there may be a spec, the next
week some filmed comedy.
ABC HANGS TOUGH
At least one network ABC-TV
believes the old way is best.
No spectaculars on ABC. They
feel that people still want to
know that on such-and-such a
night, at such-and-such a time,
there 11 always be Danny Thomas.
But both CBS and NBC are com
mitted to spectaculars hour-and-
a half or two-hour shows that
come on, say, every three or four
weeks.
More money will be poured
into them in '55. Bigger casts.
Brighter colors. Bouncier music.
Efforts are being made to lure
the last un-televiscd big star,
Danny Kaye, into a spectacular
this year.
The .announcement late in '54
that Jackie Gleason would film
part of his show next year, plus
the earlier decision by Eddie
Cantor to go on film, meant that
'55 will see the first filmed com
edy shows. Gleason will only film
the Hnnovmnoners skits with
Audrey Meadows and Art Carney
with another half-hour being
presented live. He wilfilm in
New York.
J-YEAR LIFE SPAN
The average life of a good tele
vision program seems to be about
three vparK. For tmi rpaenn
which maybe psychologists cannff-prime-hour programs "To

looking around for another spot,
even though his show is top
rated. Reason: it's been on top
for three years, and he doesn't
want to ride it down. He says
they all expect it to begin to
slip, even though the quality is
just as high.
So 1955 may be the turning
point for Lucille Ball, Jack Webb

elists. New stars that the Indus-
