is one of the most expensive ever, at $900,000 an episode. It
involves a minor league baseball team and various
hangers-on.

— For Love and Honor: A well-acted and written drama
that looks at the contemporary army through the eyes of
paratroopers in a boot camp.

There will be a healthy dose of medical drama, The
surprise of the season was NBC's decision to keep the
critically-acclaimed but lowly-rated St. Elsewhere.

CBS, which already has Trapper John, M.D., adds
Cutter to Houston, with another former Charlie’s Angel,
Shelley Hack. Like Trauma Centre, their counterpart on
ABC, both feature aiborne doctors practising medicine on

DEBUTS EIGHT COMEDIES

Only eight comedies debut this year, a turnaround from
last season when 18 of 29 new shows were half-hour situation
comedies. Networks have opted instead for the hour-long
dramas in the hope they will reclaim the younger, urban
market that bre) been turning increasingly to pay-TV. and

* to be the best of the new sitcom lot, largely because of the

record of its creators and writers, including Larry Gelbart
and Burt Metcalfe, who were both involved in the original.

The comedy is set in the post-Korean war period in a
veteran's hosptial in Missouri. Recreating their original
roles are’ Jamie Farr (Klinger), Harry Morgan (Sherman
Potter) and William Christopher (Father Mulcahy).

Mr. Smith, another new comedy which also had no pilot,
sounds impossibly hokey. It is about an orangutan, who
through a laboratory accident acquires an IQ of 256 and goes
on to become a presidential advisor.

But it, too, has producers with a history of turning out
quality sitcoms: Stan Daniels and Ed Weinberger, the
people behind The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi.

Based on their premiere episodes, the rest of the
so-called comedies are a dismal lot. The worst has to be We

young bachelors hire a dumb but beautiful blonde as their

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Has Pac-Man taken its last
bite? The day of simple-minded maze video games with
. erude computer-drawn images and difficult-to-control
characters may be over, industry executives say.
E In an attempt to lure customers back into arcades,
computer wizards, animators and writers are developing
the means to put the players “in” the action.
, “What we're going to have is an adventure that you
become a part of,” game designer Rick Dyer said.

Leading this technological revolution is one of Dyer’s
inventions, Dragon's Lair, which features movie-quality
animation, stereo sound stored on laser discs and
“interative” control of a heroic knight, Dirk the Daring.

Dragon's Lair in which Dirk must use brain and
brawn to overcome an army of goons, ghouls and beasties
to rescue a fair princess, created a sensation when it was
introduced last month.

Arcade operators say the lines at the machines have
been long, even though Dragon's Lair is the first game to
cost 50 cents a play.

“Sales are up s0 far that filling sales orders is
just impossible right now,” said Tom Campbell, market-
ing director for the game's fs

, conventional arcade games cost. . H

Don Bluth, the ex-Walt Disney Studio artist who
drew the Dragon's Lair animation, said the game was
grossing between $1,000 and $2,000 a week per machine...
It cost $3 miliion to develop.

Jay Stein, manager of the Yellow Brick Road Arcade
in San Diego, said the game was a definite boost to the
arcade business, which, industry sources say, has sagged .
this year after grossing $7.8 billion in 1962.,

In the first quarter of 1963, the communication
electronics division of Warner Communications, which
consists mostly of Atari, lost $45.6 million, and,Atari has
laid off 1,600 employees.

Arcade managers say interest in Dragon's Lair is
building, even though once a player the
