Golfer, Crooner Don Cherry Talks About Dean Martin in 2011
70
Years of Today
NEW VIDEO! When Today debuted on January 14, 1952, it was a bold experiment
- a daily, network morning program of this scale had never before
been attempted. But it wasn't until a chimp named J. Fred Muggs joined
the show as co-host that the program finally took off in the ratings.

TV Moms Reunion
Every
generation identifies with a particular TV family. In the 1950s it was
"Ozzie & Harriet" and "Father Knows Best". For
me and other baby boomers, it was "Leave it to Beaver." For
some kids growing up in the 1970s it was "The Brady Bunch" while,
a decade later, "The Cosby Show" provided a role model for youngsters
of all ages and races. For Kathryn Morris, star of the hit CBS drama "Cold
Case," it was "Family Ties."

John Wayne's Final Years
A
longing look at the legend's last years. His TV appearances,
battles with cancer, the last great adventure films and how the Duke faced
death head on. "On location in Durango, Mexico, he amazed me,"
film producer Hal Wallis stated. "Even though he was functioning
on one lung and had a terrible scar running down his back, he showed
no sign of illness or weakness. He did this own riding, roped in
steers, rounded up cattle, and handled the fight scenes without
a double. Only occasionally, in high country, was he short of breath."

The Betty White Show
Traditionally, the 'Queen of Television' title goes to Lucille Ball but since she's gone I believe the mantle has been passed to Betty White; no other TV star has enjoyed so much success over the last 60 years.

The
Sonny and Cher ShowsA lot of press was generated about Cher's exposed belly-button, it had never been done on television before. "There were so many things that were censored - ideas and words," Cher said looking back on the show. "All I know is I got in trouble for showing my belly button, and every time I turned around after I went off the air, all you saw were Cheryl Ladd's boobs."

The 'New' Dallas
Dallas was one of my guilty pleasures and it's nice to see these durable characters back in play, not at all betraying the original intent. The new cast members are servicable and I may come to like them... but they are pretty thinly drawn, at least to start with.

Andy Kaufman Pilot that Inspired Pee Wee’s Playhouse
While ABC passed on the series, this pilot film became the inspiration for an iconic show some 3 years later. Kaufman even gave Paul ‘Pee Wee’ Reubens permission to base his Saturday morning kiddie show, ‘Pee Wee’s Playhouse,’ on the Uncle Andy concept.

Eartha Kitt as Catwoman
Prior to this, Julie Newmar portrayed Catwoman on the TV series, appearing on 12 episodes over 2 years. “The reason Eartha Kitt replaced Julie Newmar during the third season,” writer Stanley Ralph Ross explained. “Was because Julie was doing a movie at the time. I think it was “McKenna’s Gold”.

Best of Batgirl 1967-68
The most popular character on the show, besides the Dynamic Duo, was Catwoman but she couldn’t be on every week so the producers asked DC comics to come up with a heroic Catwoman so Batgirl debuted in Detective Comics # 359 in 1967. (As opposed to the earlier Batgirl, a minor character from the 1950s.)

1980's
PUNK ROCK
In the early-eighties, young people in Los Angeles were flocking to
makeshift clubs in droves to see new, up and coming bands. Live new
music, not DJs, was what they craved. These writings provide a sketchy
look at the underground club scene in Los Angeles during the time
that groups like X, Missing Persons, The Go-Go's, The Minutemen and
Wall of Voodoo entered the public consciousness.
