Any man who has earned
the Diamond Medallion
must be doing something
right. So right that it puts
him in a class by himself.
This designation, which
goes to only a very few
young Provident Mutual
agents each year, reflects
fine service to clients and
an excellent grasp of life
and health insurance coun
selling. Like all coveted
honors, the Diamond
Medallion is not easy to
come by.

Hot 1 Baltimore
Good show not accepted
By RODNEY HAMMACK
TV Reviewer
Several years ago, ABC had the
creators of “Rowan and Martin’s
Laugh-in” produce a similar show as
a mid-season replacement. The re
sult was a half-hour show called
“Turn-on” that actually outdid its
model in frenetic energy.
“Tum-on” made its debut at 7:30
on a Wednesday night. In the fol
lowing days, pubic reaction to the
show was so adverse that it was
yanked before its second episode —
gaining the dubious distinction of
being the shortest running series in
television history.
In the intervening years, prog
rams such as “All in the Family,”
“M*A*S*H“ and “Maude” have al
most reduced the content of
“Turn-on” to the level of “The Elec
tric Company. “Turn-on, at its
worst, consisted of a postman talk
ing about a “damn dog” and semi
erotic tattoos on a go-go girl.
History now seems to be repeat
ing itself for ABC. “Turn-on” was
the network’s quest for some of the
magic of NBC’s high-rated “Laugh-
in.’’ Now ABC is after the magic of
producer Norman Lear that keeps
CBS’ “All in the Family’ and
“Maude” in Nielson’s top ten. The
result this time is a mid-season
entry from Norman Lear called
“Hot l Baltimore.” Even the public
reaction is strangely familiar.
Three ABC affiliates refused to
run the premier episode Jan. 24,
including WJZ-TV in Baltimore. At
least nine other stations moved the
show to a time slot later than its
scheduled 8:00 (CST) berth.
The two other stations who re
jected the show were WDHO-TV in
Toledo, Ohio and WJKS-TV in Jack
sonville, Florida. Among the ABC
affiliates that delayed the broadcast
was KVI1-TV in Amarillo.
“Hot l Baltimore” is Norman
Lear’s second series to join the sec
ond season schedule. The other is
another spin-off of “All in the Fam
ily” called “The Jeffersons,” solidly
entrenched in CBS’ Saturday com
edy lineup that also includes top ten
veterans such as “All in the Family,”
“Mary Tyler Moore” and “Bob Ne-
whart.” “The Jeffersons” hovered
around the number four spot in the
Neilson ratings while “Hot 1 Balti-
more premiered at 32.
“Norman Lear is just testing how
far he can go, ’ says Win Baker, pres
ident of Baltimore’s WJZ. “He’s in
vading new areas of content, but the
show has no redeeming value.”
Despite Baker s description,
ABC is not airing pornography, al
though the list of characters sounds
like a Russ Myer movie — two pros
titutes, a homosexual couple, a dirty
old man, a batty spinster and miscel
laneous society drop outs.
Hooker jokes dominated the
premier episode as working girl
Suzy, from Columbia, made plans
to retire and marry a “beeg Hol
lywood producer.” The other resi
dents of the seedy hotel couldn’t de
cide whether to warn Suzy that her
fiance was a phony or let her have a
fling while she could.
Each star took turns stealing the
show but they had a hard time fol
lowing Stan Gottlieb as the old man
screaming at the desk clerk that his
room has become a towering in
ferno’ when his Jimmy Dean saus
ages explode and catch his hot plate
on fire.

The second episode was even
funnier with the plot revolving
around a weekly ‘customer who
dies in Suzy’s room. The desk clerk
wants to call the police but the
hotel’s mother-dominated manager
talks him out of it when he discovers
the dead customer is his step-father.
They decide to move the body to a
handball court where it will be as
sumed that he ‘died with dignity.’
The second episode also intro
duced an unseen character called
Moose, a 26 year old ex-marine —
still in diapers — who runs amuck in
the hallways, smearing everything
with butter and cantaloupe.
