23 Boston C01 Tuesday, December IS, QHft -'Ifl Comic Pat Paulsen, once second banana, reaps fruits of labor By Percy Shain Glob Staff ful comic who came to He will have his own show Boston as a "aecond on ABC, "Pat Paulsen's banana" last Spring, re- Half a Comedy Hour, Fat Paulsen, the mourn- turned as a star yesterday, starting Jan. 22 (Thursday is The HitJ cvcrythinc SJ s4i Vl V- 3a I cials, "and now they want me to make 12 more." Specials dominated the latest Nielsen ratings announced yesterday and were chiefly instrumental in giving NBC a 21.4 to 18. victory over CBS for the week ending Dec 7, pushing that network into a slight edge for the season to date. One-shot attractions filled four of the first five slots and five of the first 10. They were "Frosty the Snowman" first, "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," a repeat, third, "Jack Benny's New Look" fourth, Hall of Fame's "Littlest Angel" fifth, and the "Engelbert Humper-dinck Show" 10th.

"Bonanza" was back as the top-rated series, with "Laugh-In," "Lucy," "Gunsmoke" and "Family Affair" filling out the top 10. Bill Cosby, 11th, topped the newcomers and "Movie of the Week" again scored strongly, finishing 15th. Walt Disney, last week's leader, fell to 17th, where it tied with "Name of the Game." The wedding episode moved "I Dream of Jean-nie" up to 31st place, which was still a disappointment, because "My Three Sons" had soared to the top the week that Fred MacMurray got married. A week ago, "Mission: Impossible" and "The Bold Ones," Sunday night rivals, were in an exact deadlock. This time Mission jumped ahead to 27th, as against "Bold's" 46th place finish.

Leslie Uggams landed in 48th place. Which reminds me: her finale last Sunday was a very pleasant affair no tears, no recriminations (but we did hear a booh in the background), just some good singing, and a brief goodbye. It's a MCHT WATCH nights at 7:30 on Ch, 7), and this was part of a promotion tour that will take him to 13 cities in a two-week period. When Pat was last here, it was as guest of the Middlesex Bar Association. He packed them in to the tuna of 1200 persons at the Sutler Hilton and received a Paul Revere Bowl for his efforts.

Yesterday he sang a song for Dave arrow it, talked briefly with Ed Miller on 'Dialing for Dollars," and was off to his next city. He's used to traveling, though. Last year, during his mock presidential cam paign, he visited 30 states in eight months. He said he plans to continue his college concert tours, two weeks in the Fall and two weeks in the Spring, visiting 20 schools annually, despite his new commitment. The bantam comic, who stands only 5 ft 8, gave up cigarettes nine months ago, and has since gained 10 pounds, which puts him at 140 now you believe it, I was a pole vaul-ter and a basketball player in high school?" he said over lunch.

Pat said his show will be "different" "No songs or dances," he vowed "that's go-to-sleep time. And no laugh track. It will be all comedy, in which I will play many different characters." One of his major aims will be to discover new talent just as he was himself discovered by Tommy Smothers. "I'm sure that out of my show will come some new stars," he said. He has received lots of exposure and lots of money for his 12 "clean engine" gasoline commer the british HONORED Cap Ray.

One of the quickest reruns ever will be that of "JX, the CBS children's drama, which the network has decided to repeat as a prime time attraction nine days after its initial showing in an early-afternoon slot Saturday. The hour-long tale about a ghetto child and an Injured cat, highly praised here as "one of the year's dramatic accomplishments," will be rebroad-cast next Monday at 7:30 p.m., preempting "Gun-smoke," a consistent ratings winner. Last August, Johnny Carson spent the two weeks before Merv Griffin came on the air in Hollywood in order to undermine the latter! CBS debut with the best possible series of guests ha could muster. Now Griffin is trying the same tactic so he can dilute Dick Cavett'a start on ABC, set for Dec. 29.

Merv is doing his show from the filmland capital this week and next, featuring any number of screenn stars, and there are hints he may return permanently a bit later, or go on the road, to escape the murderous guest competition It's striped.
