Television Fathers Rule in Ailing Sitcoms
The piece critiques 1960s TV father figures like Klugman and Denning in Bristol Court entries Harris Against the World and Karen, noting the era’s formulaic family men. It contrasts Bing Crosby Show's failure with audience indifference to both simple and sharp paternal types, praising Mingled dynamics where dads stay background. It ends forecasting 23 new half hour comedies next fall, all loaded with weak premise and no standout pops.
