Wilson was no doubt the last name of the
host of this show.

> 2 My Hero-Comedy (Bob Cummings' Early effort)

For a show that was neither a ratings nor a critical
hit in its original network run, this show got a lot
of mileage in syndication, rerunning all through the
'50s and '60s. Cummings established his patented
character of a bachelor with an eye for the ladies on
this show; his girlfriend was played by a very beautiful
actress, Julie Bishop. His next show, The Bob Cummings
Show (Love That Bob), perfected the character. And lest
we forget, Cummings worked with another Julie--Newmar--
on My Living Doll in 1964-65.


7PM
> 2 Lawrence Welk (Half Hour-ABC 9PM Saturdays (Hr.)

I know of only one other station that carried a half-hour
of Welk. WBTV/3 Charlotte, in 1955 and '56, ran Welk from
8:30-9 on Friday night. (Yet when WBTV picked up Welk in
syndication in 1974, it ran the full hour. Wonder why? he
asked sarcastically.)

For those who couldn't get enough of Welk earlier in the
evening, I suppose.

Of course, this is NOT the John Roberts of CBS News. He
was either a baby or hadn't been born yet.
