Don’t miss it when it reaches your local theatre this summer! . . . LEE MAJORS, one of the stars of ABC’s cancelled The Big Valley series, seems to be a guy with many talents. LEE wrote a song called Teeny Boppin’ Child—and it’s included in a new Capitol LP by KELLY GORDON called Defunked. . . . If you turn on your TV in September and find a football game where Happening is supposed to be don’t panic! MARK, PAUL, KEITH and all the Happening gang will be back as soon as the football season closes in January. Til then you’ll just have to settle for JOE NAMATH! . . .

If you happen to see a good-looking guy on a motorcycle in your home town this summer—take a good look, cos it might be MICHAEL PARKS! MICHAEL will be traveling all over the country to film his new MGM series And Then Came Bronson. The series is not about “a guy on a motorbike roaming the country in search of himself”, as most other magazines are misprinting. Bronson knows exactly who he is, what he wants, and how to find it! Don’t miss MICHAEL PARKS in And Then Came Bronson when it roars your way in September on NBC-TV. It’s sure to be a smash! . . . Didja catch the premiere of the new CBS summer series Hee-Haw on June 22? Hee-Haw is filling the space vacated by The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour on Sunday nights with country music galore!

TOM will start filming on August 26. . . . Betcha newcomer PETER RATRAY starts a lot of female pulses pounding when the new ABC series The New People debuts in September!

Didja catch the MONKEES in The Joey Bishop Show ’way back in April? (If you did—what are you doin’ staying up so late?!) . . . Look for JACK WILD and castles and trees and flowers that talk on a funny and freaky new TV series called H.R. Pufnstuf. JACK will be making you smile and sigh every Saturday morning in September from 10 to 10:30 on NBC!!
