The new series will follow the same format that put Martha's shows among the nation's favorites in past years. It will be a comedy- book show with singing and dancing production numbers integrated into the storyline. Wally Cox, the whimsical star of Mr. Peepers, will be the first guest headliner of the new series and Rocky Graziano, ex-middleweight boxing champ, will again be featured as Martha's boyfriend. For this edition, Cox will be cast as a pathological killer who has set out to do away with all girls named Martha. The team of Kaye and Cox should be an unusual and amusing one. The show will doubtless be launched with the bounce that is a trademark of all Martha's productions — which always make for good entertainment.

1956 MARTHA RAYE SHOW January 3 Guests: Bill & Cora Baird, Charles Coburn, Errol Flynn & Paul Lynde “What happens when Martha Raye, a gal with a yen for a good time, meets Errol Flynn, a scoutmaster whose desires lean more toward folkcraft and woodlore? The answer: there’ll be some changes made - and they’ll be made in the storyline of NBC-TV’s Martha Raye Show tonight at 8 o’clock. Martha and Errol will be supervised in their merry mixup by motion picture star Charles Coburn, who’ll play Flynn’s father, and will be assisted by PAUL LYNDE . A special attraction will be the Bill and Cora Baird marionettes.” MARTHA RAYE SHOW January 24 Guests: Bill & Cora Baird, Paul Lynde, Gordon MacRae & Jules Munshin HALLMARK HALL OF FAME February 5 Cast: Julie Harris, Paul Lynde, Roddy McDowall, Cyril Ritchard & Walter Slezak THE GOOD FAIRY … Lu, a romantic usherette, fancies herself a “good fairy” destined to make everyone’s life brighter and happier.

But just when it looks as if her plan will succeed she runs off with a head waiter (Paul Lynde). FRANKIE LAINE SHOW August 29 Guests: Eydie Gorme, Paul Lynde & Los Chaveles “Frankie’s on a ‘river’ beat tonight – opening with ‘Roll On, Mississippi’ and later chanting ‘The River Saint Marie.” Eydie Gorme ranges from impersonating Al Jolson to repeating her bright record click ‘Too Close for Comfort,’ and a winning troupe, Los Chavales, sing up a multilingual storm. Paul Lynde’s daffy ‘Explorer’ routine is guaranteed for chuckles; and Frankie polishes the hour off with his latest waxing: ‘The Road to Mandalay.’ Good Fun.”
