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!
