Four to Go
Mon, Sep 17, 1962 60 mins
We're introduced to the four main characters, Wes (Glenn Corbett), Tom-Tom (Ted Bessel), Howie (Michael Burns) and Vern (Randy Boone), but the relationships are far from defined. Wes and Tom-Tom are college students and Howie is in junior high. The three of them share a houseboat on the Ohio River in the small college town of Cordella. Howie and Wes and both smart, ambitious and driven to excel at school, while Tom-Tom, also obviously a bright guy, has his head in the clouds. Vern is a newcomer in town, a drifting Folk singer. The pilot revolves around an economic and moral crisis with Howie and Vern. The writing is excellent and the characters well drawn, but the pacing is manic at times, surprisingly so for that era. In contrast, the drawn out nature of the missing money storyline gets a bit tedious, but the story pays off in the end.
