TV-RADIO COLUMN Perry Como Back On Screen : By CYNTHIA LOWRY + NEW YORK (AP) -- It is a pleasure to report that Perry Como strolled back onto the tele- vision screens Wednesday night for another neighborly with his easy manner pretentious show, Perhaps the dialogue suffered a bit due to the absence of Good- man Ace, but then nobody really dials into a Como show looking for conversation. It's the music, and un- and it is good. One of the most| engaging bits in the NBC show was the duet with Bing Crosby: Bing's voice on a 1935 phono- graph record and Perry live on camera. There was -some interesting dancing and Peggy King was surprisingly good in an Ethel Merman show tune. The return of CBS's The Lineup was not a happy occasion, Just aoout the only thing left from last season's half-hour show is its name. Now it's an hour show; Lieut. Guthrie has been benched, and Inspector .Greb is un- accountably missing. They've shifted the focus on the show from police work to the crimi- nals. It concentrates on violence of the most vicious sort--and at a nice early hour so that all the kids can watch it.
