Top Ten #311: Special "National Ice Cream Day" Edition!

1) Bob Newhart: I thought last week was bad, and it was, and then we lost the Sultan of Stammer himself. Let's just post an appearance with Carson and wish that someone would start streaming The Bob Newhart Show again.




2) Holland Taylor: We could congratulate any one of many Seventies and Eighties stars for getting Emmy noms this week, but let's give Bosom Buddies some love and congratulate Taylor for being recognized for her work on The Morning Show.



3) Super Friends: I hope the MSRP is more Super Friendly than Legion of Doom to our wallets, but an official announcement of a complete Blu-Ray set is imminent. It's long overdue after years of the show being dished out piecemeal on DVD and then yanked from MAX last year. Current company membership is more like Legion of Dumb, but this is a good move by Warners.


4) Art Hindle: This day is too hot to Hindle because it's Batty-nominated Art Hindle's birthday.

5) Sportsbeat: 40 years ago today, the ABC magazine show hosted by Howard Cosell featured the following segments: "Randy Newman and I Love L.A., javelin thrower Bruce Kennedy, Olympic reports." Wait, Randy Newman! Did Cosell grill him about "Short People"?

6) San Diego Comic Con: The annual pop culture fun fest begins this week in La Jolla. Look for Mike and I roaming the convention hall cosplaying as Hardcastle and McCormick.


7) The Edwardians: 50 years ago tonight, PBS' Masterpiece Theatre continued its run of this BBC anthology series with a look at Charles Rolls and Henry Royce. Hey, were they the guys who gave us Car Wash?


8) Don Knotts: The legend would have been 100 years old today, and he surely would have celebrated by snorting and yelling, "Damn!"

9) National Junk Food Day: Or as it's known in my house, every day! Here with a dissenting opinion: Fat Albert and the Gang:


10) R.I.P. Shannen Doherty. James B. Sikking: Salute to these two stars; rest assured the only reason they weren't included last week was timing, not neglect.
