Most of us are accustomed to network fall previews being 30-60 minutes in length. Not in the case of ABC's 1962-3 fall preview, hosted by the cast of The Donna Reed Show. Only new series are featured, with narration by Dick Tufeld. The freshman class of '62:
Stoney Burke, starring Jack Lord.
I'm Dickens, He's Fenster, with John Astin & Marty Ingels.
Going My Way, starring Gene Kelly, Leo G. Carroll, & Dick York.
McHale's Navy, the lone series to be renewed, lasting four seasons total, plus 2 feature films.
Our Man Higgins, with Stanley Holloway.
Clocking in at under 15 minutes, this goes by quickly, which might explain why ABC was so late to the party in extending their previews.
Rating: A.
