Big Snort

In Hollywood, Richard B. Crawford et ux last week sued ABC's Bride & Groom program for $17,000 damages. The charge: Bride & Groom at the last minute had reneged on a promised wedding-on-the-air, with all the trimmings--honeymoon in Las Vegas, flowers, photographs, sterling silver service and a truckload of kitchen equipment. They had to get married finally at their own expense.

"Sure we kicked 'em off," snorted Producer John Reddy. His charge: the day before the Crawfords were to be married on Bride & Groom, they celebrated their engagement on a rival (CBS) show called Your Hope Chest, told their whole love story on the air, collected a four-chair dinette set, four pairs of nylons, two 17-jewel wrist watches, a woman's suit, two five-ply tires, a set of luggage, an electric iron, a man's shaving kit, a grill and toaster set, a waffle iron, a case of frozen peas and a case of corn.
