has garnered the most attention is aired on a commercial station in Fresno (KJEO) but at an hour (7:30 am) which is perhaps unfeasible for gathering a luge audience of the youngsters who would most benefit from it The station (and the underwriting sponsors who bear the cost and insert no commercials) perform a service to Fresnans by airing the program each weekday but because commercial television is what it is airing it at a better time for the youngsters would be economically impractical for the station PBS is coming out later this month with still another series patterned after

actually a misnomer because the series of dramas aired this season on a regular basis is far above the quality of the typical Hollywood product The is used in the title merely to indicate that the casts of the plays are composed almost entirely of well-known Hollywood or Broadway stars working in the PBC dramas for minimum scale just out of sheer love of doing challenging plays The initial offering on the series last season for example was Andersonville directed by George Scott and featuring an all-star Hollywood cast The most recent presentation on the series (last week) was a two-hour

programs of a type which commercial television is forced to sidestep because of economic factors Cities which have educational stations have had the benefits for example of such outstanding series as
