12-C Friday, Dec. 18, '64 DETROIT FREE PRESS A Triple Threat with Astaire fi I ft BY BETTELOU PETERSON Free Press Radio-TV Writer CBS may have executed a neat piece of programming: one-upmanship. It picked reruns to oppose I i 5 the time formerly occupied by "The Reporter" which has been cancelled. "Entertainers" producer Bob Banner is hoping star Carol Burnett will be back by that Jan. 2 show.

She has been hospitalized trying to get over an aching back. Yoiir BcSl BetS TOP CHOICE: "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol," a cartoon version of the Dickens classic, is repeated at 7:30 p.m. on Q. Voices of Jim Backus and Jack Cassidy'are featured.

8:30 p.m. Entertainers: Rosemary Nancy Wilson, Beachboys, guests. Clooney, Wynn, guests. 10 p.m. Jack Paar: Oscar Levant, 8:30 p.m.

Bob Hope: James Gar- Malcolm Muggeridge, Godfrey Cam- ner, Martna Raye, Kathryn Crosby, bridge and the Muppets, guests. 'J --JS ft of "The Entertainers" lineup of regular stars. Newhart wasn't happy about the format of the show and felt he didn't have enough to do. He'll be seen on Friday's show and also the one on Dec. 25 in sketches already taped.

Newhart wanted to spend more time in California with his family and do more nightclub work. He had to commute to New York for the TV show. "The Entertainers" is one of the many CBS shows which will be moved come January. It will go into the p.m. spot vacated by the cancelled "Mr.

Broadway" on Jan. 2. Taking over for it at 8:30 p.m. on Friday will be "Pass-word," followed by the "Baileys of Balboa." "Slat-tery's People" is at 10 p.m., Concentration (5) (11) Andy of Mavberrv (6) Get the Message (12) (13) runs of his old half -hour comedy show, plus "Celebrity Game," in the 9 p.m. Sunday spot.

Thomas is under contract to NBC this season for four special shows two of them to be seen on Sundays. He said he didn't think it would be fair to NBC to be appearing on two networks at the same time. As owner and producer of four series on CBS, three of them hits, Danny's word is heard at CBS. (Comer Pyle, Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke and Joey Bishop are the Thomas-owned series.) Both Thomas and CBS said there was "no friction" in their relations as a result of the protest. CBS then took another look around and found the Astaire shows (Astaire had received the rights to them after their first time around and one repeat.) The three, plus an hour of London's Royal Ballet and another unnamed show will fill in at 9 p.m.

Sunday until the dramatic series, "For the People" is ready to start Jan. 24. NOT TO BE OUTDONE In all the show switching, NBC has come up with another change. "The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo" and "Kentucky Jones" will exchange their Saturday 8 and 8:30 p.m.

spots starting Jan. 2. And ABC does It too. "Johnny Quest" and the Flint-stones" will exchange places next week. "Quest" goes in at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday and the "Flintstones" at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Rain or Snow ALL DEALERS 1 See to in IT AVAILABLE AT ANOTHER CHANGE at CBS takes Bob Newhart out FIRST TIME DETROIT! NBC's high show on the rat ings, But what reruns Three of them will be Fred Astaire specials which are among the most popular and honored shows in TV history. The three shows were seen on NBC and were Astaire's first big TV splashes. Since then, he's leen host and occasional a-ctor on an ABC-TV drama series.

Last season, he did a bit of dancing on "Bob Hope Theater." The show was a comedy with music and he played the head of a record company. (There has been talk of selling the idea as a series minus Astaire.) The Astaire shows are all in color in fact, the four shows announced for the Sun-. day series are in color. And they amount to the first concentrated colorcasting attempt by CBS. Sunday's show at 9 p.m.

will be "An Evening with Fred Astaire," first seen on Oct. 5, 1958. Barrie Chase did her first turn as Astaire's dancing partner on the program. Jonah Jones and his musical group were featured. This is the show that won nine Emmy awards Including the "Best Single Performance by an Actor," an honor that proved an eninarressment to Astaire.

He won over such actors as Taul Muni, C'hristo- Friday WJR-760 WCAR-II30 CKLW-800 WXYZ-1270 WWj-950 WKNR-I3I0 WTLB-1400 WJBK-I500I CBE-1553 OTHER AREA STATIONS WQTE-5S0 WERB-1090 WCH3-I440 CKWW-580 WEXL-1340 WPON-1460 6 A.M. riec WOI WJR News CKlW Bud Uavie.

The next season variety sh.iw performers were put into a separate category from the actors. Astaire turned up in the new division in the 1959-1960 nominations for his second show, "Another Evening with Fred Astaire," seen Nov. 9, 1959. He lost out to Harry Belafonte and his show was beaten by "The Fabulous Fifties" for best for variety show. Barrie Chase and Jonah Jones again co-starred with him in that show.

Astaire came back with his third show, "Astaire Time," Sept. 28, 1960. He and that show won two of the three Emmys for which they were nominated. Miss Chase and Count Basie were his co-stars. CBS will show the second and third Astaire shows on 3 and 10.
