This Guide is noteworthy for a couple of reasons. One, CBS presented two big live color productions that week, Ford Star Jubilee and Shower of Stars. CBS broadcast a number of shows in color in 1955 and 1956, then gave it up, leaving NBC to go it alone until 1967.
Secondly, the review of Highway Patrol (page 23) recalls the story told in Jeff Kisseloff's book THE BOX. Broderick Crawford was an alcoholic, and for the run of the show, two assistants were assigned to make certain that he went nowhere near a motor car.
