Top Ten #320: Special "Full week or so after the Emmys" Edition!

1) Mary Tyler Moore Show: We posted our previous episode covering the show as a Special Encore Presentation this week, but we are back Thursday with a brand-new podcast. Attentive listeners may be able to speculate on the show we discuss next! 

We love our inattentive listeners, too, though!

2) Batman: Wednesday is National Comic Book Day, yesterday was Batman Day, but every day should be Adam West Day.




3) The Sonny Comedy Revue: Today in 1974, Sonny Bono, finally free of the shackles of his less charismatic and less talented partner, launched his own variety show on ABC and went on to a long and fruitful run, never having to reunite with Cher for another go.

(This has been another installment of TV Alternate History, brought to you by delusion)

4) Matlock: The Kathy Bates 2024 show premieres tonight, but I might have be on Team Grandpa Simpson and watch the original.




5) The Man from UNCLE: Outside the time frame, but the spy show premiered 60 years ago tonight and did come back with a 1980s reunion movie.



6) Jabberjaw: The old Hanna-Barbera toon is now playing weekends on Discovery Family, which is still around!

7) Hispanic Heritage Month: It's well underway, and I celebrated by watching this episode of Viva Valdez:



8) Fannie Flagg: The frequent guest on BLANK turns 80 today!



9) Series Premieres in 1984: 40 years ago tonight saw these shows debut in prime time: Finder of Lost Loves, Cover Up, Partners in Crime, Hot Pursuit. Pretty much all these lasted about as long as The Sonny Comedy Revue.




10) National States and Capitals Day: How about a shout-out to the man who practically ran the state of, uh, whatever it was: Benson!
