"After 18 years, the whole show was turned around. It was a dangerous thing to-do, but it saved us. We had dropped badly in the ratings, and then we discovered that informa­ tional spots on the show were drawing viewers. The 15-minute segments in which we had these spots went up. "So now, all shows are informational. In many of our markets we have dou­ bled our ratings. This change only began in February, too." Griffin says the change was based on studies con­ cerning the short attention spans of American viewers who use remote-control switches. "I do it myself. If I'm flipping the dials and some­ thing doesn't grab me, I go 16 anottter channel." One problem with talk shows is that they have gotten too similar, Griffin claims. ' . " "One day I watched some talk shows -- I do watch , other people's shows r-- and the same guest appeared on three of them, mine included, on the same day. The public doesn't want that." «, As befits someone of his />Md HanHUnB Maufl vnn nvaannv ravwi 00 Tom Cottle Show SI ® Jerry Falwell ® MOVIE: 'Seven Times Seven' Seven convicts plan to break out of jail, break into the Royal Mint and then back into jail.

"( recall once in New York, I was invited to the opening of a new restau­ rant and I accepted. It came out in a gossip column that I had showed up with a party of 12 and after the meal yelled 'Thanks for picking up the check.' Yes, I showed up with a party of 12, but I paid for it. I even sent a copy of my canceled check to the writer, but they never retracted." The silver-haired, blue- eyed Griffin is not bitter, however, about his treat­ ment. He just realizes what great targets celebrities make. He certainly wouldn't trade his celebrity for any­ one else's -- particularly now that his talk show is on the rise again. ©19S3 Compulog SI @S> Revival Fires 4:00AM ID ID Prog cont'd PAGC21 O MOV*: 'Tho Ma* An emo­ tionally (honored young man is reha­ bilitated through the skill and understanding of a psychiatrist.
