50 years ago today, at 8:00 P.M., NBC reran the 1968 special Dear Mr. Gable. The hourlong tribute to the late screen legend, who died in 1960, is narrated by Burgess Meredith. The presentation combines interviews with people knew him, movie clips, and home movies showing Gable and Carole Lombard.

40 years ago, on September 3, 1980, CBS led off the evening at 8 with Riding for the Pony Express, a failed pilot for a Western series.

Yes, Crosby is the son of...Kathryn Grant. Oh, and Bing Crosby.
