What's on TV? Monday, January 8, 1962

Our cover star for the week, Vincent Edwards, stars in tonight's episode of Ben Casey, in which our hero tries to rehab a skid row wineo (Franchot Tone) by putting him to work in the hospital's lab, only to have him make an accident on a lab test that could cost a patient his life. Casey, as Saturday's article pointed out, was not one to tolerate any kind of mistake, so I wonder how he reacts here? Frankly, I'm surprised he'd even take a chance like that. Anyway, I'd recommend keeping with NBC's excellent police drama 87th Precinct, based on the Ed McBain series of books, starring Robert Lansing, or ABC's WB detective mystery Surfside 6, which wasn't great television but was fun to watch. Fortunately, neither of them are on against Casey, so you can have it all from this Eastern New England edition.
