TV COMFUIOC SERVICES. INC by Joey Sasso CONFIDENTIAL REPORT: Best known as banker Mr. Mooney on "The Lucy Show" in the 60's, the 75-year-old star Gale Gordon says he would much rather read a book than suffer through even a few minutes of "Dukes of Haz- zard" or "Three's Company." "I don't think television is the place for these show-and-tell programs with women wearing as little as possible or nothing at all," he told me. "And I don't like certain crude words--I don't think they're necessary," he said. "Not that I'm a prude, but you can hear that sort of thing any time just by walking down a sleazy street. I don't think that's entertainment." But there is a good side to television's new free-and-easy attitudes, Gordon admits. "In the 50's you couldn't even say the word 'pregnant' on television, even while Lucille Ball was in the family way on her show. Well, it is good that nowadays shows can be honest enough to say that a woman is pregnant. After all, it's not a dirty word, it's a y/ery inspiring and wonderful word in most cases. But I see no reason for showing women half undressed and people taking the name of the Lord in vain. That's going to the other extreme." TV BACKSTAGE: Timex has joined ESPN with a ten year multi-million dollar package. The contract, which com­ menced this month, has Timex involved in many events, including college football and basketball, Top Rank Box­ ing and ESPN Sports Center in the fourth quarter of this year. The buy was made by Grey Advertising where all Timex U.S. advertising was recently consolidated^ "We are honored to enter this agreement with ESPN," said Nicholas M. Mihalas, President of Timex Corporation, "and we believe that the nature of our involvement is the most innovative use of cable television advertising to date. Timex is committed to developing and manufactur­ ing accurate, precise timepieces for use in sporting events, as well as for the active lifestyles of our con­ sumers," he continued. "We recognize cable TV as the new wave of communications, and are pleased to be making an investment in the future." TV CLOSEUP: Instead of being hypnotized by television young children use sophisticated ways of choosing what to watch, according to a psychology professor. "Pre­ schoolers are actively struggling to understand their world, which includes television," said Prof. Daniel Anderson of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst Based on his research, Anderson said, "Young children use complex, highly sophisticated ways to choose televi s i on scenes t hey t h i nk t hey can unde rs tand and . . . re ject those they think they cannot." Anderson said children younger than two watch television "from time to time but they do not appear to watch in a regular or deliberate manner. When they are about 2Vi years old they are beginning to understand the meaning of images and sound flowing from the set. When they can't unders­ tand what's going on, they make a conscious adjustment and continue watching." He said children are attracted to a woman's voice and laughter, but are turned off by male voices. TY COMPULOO SERVICES. INC
