Members Paul Raven Posted April 10, 2015 Members Share Posted April 10, 2015 THE BRIGHTER DAY Network: CBS -TV !sme: Mon. thru Fri., 1 -1:15 p.m. EST Sponsor: Procter & Gamble Agency: C rripton Adv. Inc. Cast: B111-Smith, Brooke Byron, Hal Hol- brook, Mary Lynn Beller, Lois Nettleton, lV ary Michael Producer: Mary Harris Director: Ed Kogan Music: Dick Leibert Announcer: Jimmy Blaine Producing Agency: Young & Rubicam Inc.Writer: Doris Frankel UNDER the by no means surprising sponsor ship of Procter & Gamble, The Brighter Day, a daytime 'serial, has been inserted in the CBS -TV. schedule. Among soap operas, this one is super -sudsy. The new serial began last Monday. By Wednesday the story had become so hopelessly tangled that it would take months to straighten out the plot, assuming, as is definitely not the case, that the manufacturers of such programs would ever consider straightening. Already problems, problems. The format deals with one Reverend Dennis, a model minister, fully equipped with the standard platitudes; his- congregation, as folksy a collection of people as ever a clergyman has been blessed with; and members of his family, each with a personal crisis all his own. A good portion of last Wednesday's installment was given over to Patsy, Rev. Dennis' young daughter, presumably involved in a love affair not destined to lead up the aisle at least for the present. Typical dialogue in a touching father-daughter scene: Rev. Dennis: We're going to have a change in the weather. It's beginning to snow. Patsy (after an unexpected phone call from her beau): No, Father, that's not snow, that's orange blossoms. And it's not January -it's June after all! Acting quality on the new series is on a evel with the script. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
