Tone your body. Clover Is in Tune With Music on New TV Comedy By KAY GARDEIXA Music has been one of the missing ingredients in television's situation comedies, but Screen Gems executive producer Bob Claver plans to remedy this oversight. Hit make a movie about intercourse it would be all right with me." The producer's willingness to protect the young, at least, can probably be traced back to his Captain Kangaroo He created the series with Bob Keeshan and Jack Miller in 1955 and later served as associate producer on Michael Shayne, The Goldbergs, The Jimmie Rodgers Show, Ensign O'Toole and The Rogues. His earlier credits include the Gloria DeHaven Show, The Monica Lewis Show, Entertainment, and the Jane Pickens Show. Need Comic Relief Claver thinks we're taking ourselves too seriously.

"Shows like The Goldbergs and Amos 'n' Andy were funny to me," he said. "And I see no reason why we still can't put on such shows. Our young people have nothing left to laugh at and that's why they're taking themselves so seriously. The only comic relief we have today is Vice President Agnew." a face that's easily forgotten," tested it on us. The number, in our opinion, is easily forgotten, but Claver assured us that the record people assured him that this tune would be a hit.

"These days," we both agreed, "you have to depend upon their judgment, since there isn't really any way of telling what will sell." It Also Informs Sheepishly, the producer went on to discuss his CBS series, the Interns, which stars Broderick Crawford, plus several faces new to television. "Crawford," according to Claver, "is the father image." While he's dead set on turning out a slice of entertainment first, Cleaver admitted that if and when the scripts allow, "We will get a lot of good information across to the audience." This includes scripts on drug addiction, kidney machines, and there's even one on a space research program involving isolating volunteer prisoners to see how long man can survive under such conditions. Claver, thank heavens, is one producer who thinks the word relevancy is being overworked this year. Nevertheless, his writers have done considerable research on dope addiction, which, he said he was told in Washington, "has reached epidemic proportions." It has also become as serious a threat to middle class citizens as to those in the slums. Because of this, one episode deals with a girl from a well-to-do family who becomes a junkie and dies.

In fact, he said, he has two scripts in which girls die from overdoses of heroin. Fights Censorship "What we're trying to do," said Claver, "is make a television show that both says something and entertains." He added: "If I believe in anything in this business it is a broader base of communication. I'm against censorship of any form, unless it's censorship of children's programs. And this is necessary because parents today don't censor their youngsters. Otherwise, if someone wanted to the way top athletes and film stars do with a Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath!

The Partridge Family, co-starring Shirley Jones and David Cassidy, will feature one new song a week. "It will be a kind of soft rock tune," said the bearded, 42-year-old producer, whose second Friday night entry is The Interns on CBS-TV at 7:30 p.m. The competitive network positions of the two series, he pointed out, means that, "The better I make The Interns the tougher it will be on The Partridge Family." But Claver, working under the Screen Gems umbrella, didn't seem too worried. Has Foifh Sitting behind his large, Mediterranean-style desk, Claver explained that in order to turn out two new series in one season: "You have to have great faith in other people.

Besides," he added, "I thought it would be fun. And I'm always looking for an edge, which explains why I'd risk two shows at once." Adding music to a situation comedy is another calculated risk Claver has decided to take. The reasons, he pointed out, that it hasn't been done in the past are cost and the time element. "It adds at least $10,000 to your episode's price and at least a half a day is spent in a recording studio. When you consider there are five children in the cast of The Partridge Family, this presents another problem since they are only allowed to work six hours a day in the summer and four hours during the school semester.

So the weekly song presents a hurdle well have to keep surmounting." Claver conceded that the song- Bob Claver Produces two aerie WED. EVES. 6 to 9 NEXT CLASS STARTS SEPT. 16 Our graduates are in demand! Course approved by Y. State i Dept of Education.
