She doesn't like to talk about her year as the leading lady in the Sid Caesar company. She prefers to think and talk about the and possibilities that 1 i 'offers for Broadway and Hollywood and television that have flooded in since the Caesar show went off the air. "Although the Caesar show was a disappointing experience profes eionally," Janet says, "I learned a great deal.

The writers six, count em, six have said that they were told what to write, that it was Sid's show and they wrote for him. The network, NBC, has file drawers full of letters asking the thing, "Why doesn't Janet Blair do more on the show?" "Did she try to do more? She'll just say yes, she tried, but she won't -go into details abou why her attempts were rebuffed. So, week after week, she did her job, the job she was' told to do, the job she had contracted to do, but not'the job that she'd been promised.

And her rewards were an occasional line, an occaslona song, an occasional dance.
