Or, in my particular case, the fog that closed International Airport Sunday night.

I had planned to see Julie Harris in her Sunday Showcase effort but while Miss Harris was emoting, the plane I was in was endlessly circling, waiting for a hole in the mush. (The circling wouldn't have been so bad and I wouldn't have missed Miss Harris so much if, as several of us suggested, the stewardesses would have reopened the bar but they wouldn't.) So it was in a rather irate mood that I watched the conversation that is Open End and stimulating talk it was for most of the three hours. But along the way, David Susskind brought forth one of his old theories again that it is impossible to do first-rate work in television anywhere but in New York, that the labors that emerge from Hollywood are worthless.

Jack Douglas indicated that he had done very agreeable work in Hollywood for Bob Hope and other comics.

(This is a bit unfair there are some promising items on the schedule, including a series starring Andy Griffith, one with Tony Randall, another with Peggy Cass.) While the Open End group properly brought forth that two of the funniest situation comedies in history were produced in New York Sgt. Bilko and Mr. Peepers they did not mention that from New York also have come some of the most awful ones, Including Too 'jYoung to Go Steady, which Mr. Susskind loosed on the air.
