This week alone, for ex ample, 23 new t half - hours of quiz shows will be poured into daytime and nighttime channels b y the networks. In the face of uch a bankruptcy in j gramming, it's hard to evalu ate each quiz on its own merits. Lately, I've felt like a man wallowing in one great visual blob. One of these new half-hours made its debut Tuesday night as the summer replacement lor CBS-TV's "The $64,000 Question." It was an auction game called "Bid 'N' Buy" with Bert Parks as emcee. I believe the show is the best new quiz of the season, but now that I look back at that statement, I'm not sure it means anything. There hasn't been much competition. And too, it could be that the summer heat is affecting my brain. m r m . Appealing uroup - 1 I i Nevertheless, I will plunge ftj gyp ACClQeBl Plunge one: I thought the four contestants on Tuesday night's opener were one of the most appealing groups of amateurs I've seen on TV. They neither chuckled nor shrieked nor fluttered nor whooped nor faked excite ment. They. were attractive, well-mannered and reasonably affable without any of that nauseous jolliness that seems to pour out of all current quiz show guests. Plunge two: The game .was fast, well-run and fairly stim ulating. It squares off the con testants in an auction game In which they bid in order to get a shot at clues. The clues help them identify a silhou ette. Identification leadQ to merchandise prizes. Plunge three: Bert Parks has shed his holler and whoop de-do personality and I find him a pleasant and efficient workman. Parks a veteran of "Stop The Music." "Break The Bank," and "Double or Nothing" whips along the game and the contestants and gives the show gloss. Clues Are Bad On the other hand, I sup pose I should set up another category called unplunge. Unplunge one: I thought some of the clues were awful ly unhelpful, but it could be that summer heat again. Unplunge two: The sponsor has his name displayed around the set too much: He is not alone in this offense, of course, but it seems to me somebody should 'start re stricting sponsor plugs to the regular commercials. Unplunge three: This isn't really an objection from my corner, but I'm sure it will be from the inkstained divis ion of the TV audience: The show has no postcard gim mick there's no0way for the greedy to get in on the loot. Sad to say, that seems to be the principal ingredient that makes for a successful quiz nowadays. Small Loggers To Have Opportunity For Timber Bids Washington (UPI) Sen.
