Television Critique Flops From Carney Show Spark Debate
AP review notes The Triumph of Gerald Q Wert on NBC drew a dispute over writing credits between Ernestine Barton and associate producer James Ambandos. The hour drama was derided as sentimental and trite, with Art Carney as a comedian in a fascist state facing firing squad. The piece ends with TV industry notes on Dennis Weaver joining NBC for 1964 65 and Edge of Night shifting to 3 30 pm, plus Paul Burke returning to Naked City freelance work and a guest role on The Eleventh Hour.

Cardinal Cushing urged wariness of outdated canon law as the Ecumenical Council resumes, shaping the church’s response to modern times and global unity.
