Show By LYN CONNELLY IT HAS taken us quite a while In recover from some of the shocks of the Emmy Awards presentation . . . The show itself was entertaining with TV's cream of the comedy world acting as emcee . . . But the awards, which are supposed to go to the most outbuilding shows and performers in television, seemed to be given out like they were dishes at a novie theater . . . Obviously sentiment senti-ment entered Into some of the fleet Ions as certainly not all the ...li.Uanding shows were chosen There was. for instance, one .f the most ridiculous awards of ; il in Art Linkletter's "House i'artv" for "best daytime show." Now "House Party" is mildly e.nertai;.ing and it's better thun :h: soap operas and other such U d-'-da that appear on daytime television, but if it Is considered th'; "bfst" then there Is no other alternative but to sell the set and run for the woods . . . Actually b the other nominees Bob Crosby, Cros-by, (jury Moore and Robert (). l ewis all have superior shows to Huu.se Party". . . Our personal choice would have been Bob Crosby Cros-by who combines music, games tricl idle chatter in typical Crosby fashion . . , And "This Is Your Life" for best guest or audience participation show! This "Hearts and Flowers" prof a doesn't even deserve a spot on ' ' vision, let alone an award. We'd highly dispute LoretU Young as best actress, too , . . MIm Young Is a One actress all rlfht, but her acting has been pretty much hammed up In a rornball show that only she could keep Kolng week after week . . . Perhaps the award was presented on the basis of thai feat alone ... If so, then the choice wasn't mi bad after all . . . The ulliers, the wonderful "Disneyland," Danny Dan-ny Thomas and his line fchow, "Make Room for Daddy." (ieorge Gubel, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows, Mead-ows, Perry Como aiid Dinah Shore were naturals. |
