Whiting Why isn't television like radio of years ago? Every season the network radio schedules were about the same with only minor changes. Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Charlie McCarthy, Fred Allen and many other weekly shows returned year af- ter year, and in most instances, in the same time slots. With TV shows the casualties are staggering every year. Here is a list of programs that won't be seen next season: On ABC—Combat, The Fugi- tive The Phyllis Diller Show, Time Tunnel, The Munroes, The Green Hornet. Batman will be out to single weekly 30 -minute show and Stage 67 will become a floating special without a reg- ular time slot. On CBS — It's About Time, Danny Kaye Show, Pistols and Petticoats, CBS Reports will be cut in half. On NBC—Hey Landlord, Andy Williams, The Road West, Girl from UNCLE, The Cat, Laredo and Bob Hope Theatre. And here is a list of shows classified by network officials as `iffy' right now: ABC—F. Troop, Love on a Rooftop and. Rango. CBS—Smothers Brothers, My Three Sons, To Tell the Truth, I've Got a Secret, Coliseum and Mission: Impossible. NBC Flipper, Please Don't Eat the Daisies, Occasional Wife, Star Trek and Captain Nice. Those good old radio days weren't bad after all. When a show left in the spring, you knew it would return in the fall. Viewers must get tired of changing schedules. Comments anyone?
