Danny Thomas TV Show Becoming Something Of Video Institution By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood - ilW - A suc cessful television show in this age of quick flops is judged a runaway hit if it lasts a full season. That being the case, Danny Thomas is something of an institution. His scries is in its eighth year and gives no signs of slowing down. What is Danny's explanation for the program's longevity? "Casting," he says. "When the casting is exact ly right the psychological ef fect is astonishing. The iden tification is tremendous. It is an entirely different thing than casting motion pictures. "Another thing that helped us stay on the air was the switch in networks. When 'I Love Lucy' went off the air we moved into the same time slot. Entirely New Audience A new time on a new eve ning brings in an entirely dif ferent audience. We brought along some of our own view ers and inherited many of the 'Lucy fans. "There is another important aspect of our longevity. A TV show is more than a pile of scripts with a cast and crew. "Everybody involved with the series takes suggestions and script changes. During rehearsals we all pitch in with ideas to improve the dialogue and other elements of the story." Danny demonstrated this during a rehearsal. Frequent ly members of the cast and crew would change a line when they thought it would get more laughs or prove more effective dramatically. Perfectly Cast Show He suggested the reason for the success of "The Real Mc Coys" in which he is a partner is that every part in perfectly cast. For this reason he be lieves another of his proper ties, "The Andy Griffith Show," will have a. lengthy run. "The longer you are on the air the more difficult it gets to . find the right kind of scripts," Danny said. "The old writers find it hard to come up with new ideas, and the new ones turn in scripts only to discover we've already done them. We've made 231 shows so far and we're still in there pitch ing. "Our contract calls for us to complete this season. The sponsor has an option for next fall, which means we may be back again next year." Hoof Gibson in Satisfactory Condition Las Vegas-UPD-Hoot Gibson, 66, oldtime cowboy actor was reported in satisfactory condi tion today following major abdominal surgery.
