Radio and Television Warm Humor From Sherman Show
AP appearance notes Ransom Sherman as a warm funny host borrowing from his radio days. Five days a week NBC TV 7 p.m. summer replacement for Kukla Fran and Ollie. Observations focus on his visual stunts, charts about the business cycle, a tire garden, and a humor that blends confidence with comic mishaps in the studio.

Sherman Show: A Potent Mix of Fashion, Language and Odd Guests
The column praises MR SHERMAN for transforming a potato sack garment into multiple dress styles on air and applauds his linguistic feats translating Mon Ideal, plus his French word alous. It notes his midwestern accent, the two singing assistants Johnny Bradford and Nancy Wright, the Instrumental Quintet, occasional guests, and the quirky studio moose. It ends with a whimsical call to insert oneself between warm and appealing before a grim winter.
