I Dynaety The courtroom ie etunned when the verdict la delivered inBleke Cerrington'e trial, Alexia eeeka sweet revenge on Blake when aha moves Into the by Joay Sasao CONFIDENTIAL REPORT: Only a handful of new TV shows are worth sponsoring, say top advertising executives. "The fall-out rate is tremendous," PhMp Burrel, of a major New York adver tising agency told me after reviewing the new shows. "Of the 23 new shows this year, only about five or six will survive." Lynn, of another agency, says it is hard to find even one good show that is sure to survive to next year. "Just about everything has a good chance of failure," Lynn told me. "Any new program on the air is there because something else has failed. It has to be doubly good to make it." Advertising executive Paul Schubnan of Schulman Co. of New York says you cant blame the fickle tastes of the public for the new season's disasters. "The stag­ gered start of the season and the late-running basebalt season doesn't allow the networks to push their new shows and the viewers to develop their usual fall TV habits," he told me. Also, the networks are quick to gong any of their new shows that don't seem to be catching on. "With overnight ratings, certain shows are taken off much quicker than before," said Burreil, the TV series analyst for Dancer, Fitzgerald and Sample. The lack of originality on the part of the networks also makes for a rather dull new line up the experts say. "The three networks seem to be on a play-it-safe road this year," said Lynn. "Ifs all pretty much middle-of-the-road--less sex more violence and lots of recycled TV stars." TV BACKSTAGE: "M<A*S*H" star Alan Akla charges that most television shows are "junk." In an interview on the public affairs program "NBC Magazine," the four-time Emmy winner com­ pared television network executives to prostitutes and declared "I don't watch much television--not even the news, because ifs so fuH of junk now. They will talk for a minute and a half about something thafs liable to threaten the existence of the planet and then they'll talk for about seven minutes about somebody who kicks a football around a field. I'm really astonished by it. Somebody ought to be responsible, but what are they doing?" In response to the claim by network officials that they only give the viewers what they want, Alda counters: "Prostitutes give people what they want, but that doesn't excuse what they do." TV CLOSEUP: Is TV going to the dogs? It sure is--in a serious but very funny way as far as Barbara Woodhouse is con­ cerned. In addition to being in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's top dog trainer, Ms. Woodhouse has become a TV superstar with her new half- hour TV series of ten programs which became the highest rated show in England on BBC- TV. Now, 'Training Dogs the Woodhouse Way," distributed by Lionheart Television, has become a most unlikely and definitely unbelievable TV hit in . ... . the U.S. with 65 stations now Baroara WooOwuse going to the dogs from coast-to-coast! Thafs more amazing than the cat's pajamas... Maris Thomas says her first year of mar­ riage to PMI Donahue has been the happiest year of her life. "Just as I always dreamed, I can honestly says that I now have it all," Mario told me. "I have my work, which I could not live without, and I have a wonderful, romantic man who shares my deepest concerns and convictions." And she believes their mar­ riage will last forever. V M
