*It's Garry Shandling's Show ran for 4 seasons and 72 episodes on Showtime, 1986-1990. Fox picked it up in 1988 and aired edited episodes until 1990. Shout! Factory released the complete series on DVD.

*The Wil Shriner Show was a short-lived (1987-1988) syndicated daytime talk show.

*The Burns and Allen Show began as a radio program, then became The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show on CBS Television from 1950-1958.

*Shout-outs again to two books that offered great information about a show I still think is underappreciated: Laugh Lines by Alan Zweibel and It's Garry Shandling's Book by Judd Apatow.

*Go Go Goldblum premiered on Showtime March 4, 1988. You can hear the rest of that Friday night lineup on the episode, but here are a few notes about some of the other programs:

--Highwayman with Jocko and Sam Jones
--The Thorns with Kelly Bishop and Tony Roberts
--Sonny Spoon with Mario Van Peebles

--Brothers ran 115 episodes, 1984-1989, on Showtime.

Transylvania 6-5000 with Jeff Goldblum, Ed begley Jr., and Geena Davis, premiered in theaters November 1985, and the New World Pictures release actually made money, but it was savaged by critics.

*Goldblum and Davis were married from 1987 to 1991.

*Bernadette Birkett, who plays Jackie Shumacher on the show, has been married to George Wendt since 1978.

*Scott Nemec, who plays her son Grant, has been in TV production for years and was recently named President of Television at the Russo brothers' production shingle AGBO.
