TV sketches skew Westward and spoof hits
Cyntha Lowry notes a shift in television humor toward parodies of current hits rather than Western gunplay. Bob Hope’s The Hustlers spoof failed for viewers who had not seen the movie, while Sid Caesar’s Japanese art movie gag dated. Bud Palmer leaves CBS for NBC, with Jack Whitaker taking over on Saturday basketball duties, and Michael Rennie and Eva Gabor star in Dick Powell Show’s Fifth Caller on NBC.
