Withdrawn. I interpret the lack of review to be an indication that this wasn't very hooky. Cbl62 (talk) 01:23, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbl62: that was fast. We don't have so many reviewers lately. Would you like a review from me? Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I was a little hesitant about this hook to begin with. Heschong was probably the top art director in the Golden Age of TV, but the hook is not strong, so I'm good with withdrawing this one. Cbl62 (talk) 22:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbl62: Really? You wrote a whole article and don't want a main page appearance? You just have to play around with the material to find a good angle. What do you think about:
