SIX THE DAILY MAIL. Hagerstown, Maryland Thundiy, April 1H3 Says Some TV Titles Almost As Long As Program There tbv docu- bles most he By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Writer NEW YORK (AP)-The hour- long television program really blossomed last season, but this has'been, the year in which titles became almost as long as the programs themselves. For example, there was i "Naked City" episode called "Today the Man Who Kills Ihc Ants is Coming." There is an upcoming "Route r6" show called "Then I Am, There I Always Kighl and nine word subtitles are routine. Producers of "actuals" menlaries, public affairs and edu- calional shows--are the mosl long-title-prone of the lot. CBS recently had a program whose official, title was "The Great and U.S.S.R.: Coexistence or Collision?" NBC doesn't try lo save words, either.

A typical tille for one of ils documentary shows is "NBC White Paper No. 11--Arms and the followed by an explanation of what the tille means. ABC tries to slip the sponsor's name into the title'--'Bell and Howell Close-Up Back lo Bho. wani." 'Sponsors arc forever trying to Ret lillle extra bonuses of plugs into official program Como's Kraft Music Hall" "Hallmark Hall of Fame," "Alcoa Premiere" and the like--but the device usually fails and the program is referred to as "The Perry Como Show," "Hall of and "The Fred Astaire Titles string out so endlessly nowadays there just isn't room for them in program lislings--or even columns--so they defeat themselves. i Maybe next year--ah, next-year --they'll get back to short, no nonsense tags with no more than two or three words and minus dashes, colons and exclamation points.

Bob popped with a particularly lively show on NBC Wednesday nighl, bristling wilh impudent and deft shafts that he hurled in all directions but mostly toward Piltsburgh, Washington and. of course, Rome. His opening monologue was confined primarily to Ihe recent troubles of Big Steel, and Big John- Kennedy, that is. He waited until he was working with guest star Frank Sinatra to work over the Liz-Dickie situation. Not even Sinatra's recently broken "engagement" escaped his attention.

One part of the hour was devoted to film clips, showing Hope and Bing Crosby blowing up in lines during making of a recent piclure. It was a long plug "or the movie. One wishes, hough, that Hope would give up ocal Los Angeles we foreigners ire not likely lo understand--all lis cracks about the new ball park and Ihe freeways, for in stance.
