Top Ten #324

1) Chico and the Man: This week on the podcast, we talk about a series which started blazing hot but ended early for obvious reasons. I enjoyed Chico and the Man more than I expected and am still watching it.


2) Freddie Prinze and Jack Albertson: What a team. You have a multitalented, charismatic superstar who commands the screen and who left us too soon...and Freddie Prinze was great, too!

3) Scatman Crothers: Scatman is always welcome on Battle of the Network Shows, whether he is in the series we discuss or not. Fortunately, he happens to be in 

4) James Komack: Say what you will about the executive producer, and many have, but he seems like a bit of a character.



5) Kmart: I for one bought many a cool toy at the store, the last of which closed this week. And by "bought," I mean, "asked my mom to buy for me."


6) Mannix: Check out the guest cast in the episode aired on CBS 50 years ago tonight, "The Green Man": Elisha Cook Jr., Russell Johnson, SCATMAN CROTHERS!

7) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: The ceremony aired last night on Disney Plus. Congratulations to Cher, who we celebrated last season. She won the listener-voted Batty for Outstanding Duo with Sonny Bono! 

Meanwhile at the Hall, Allison Troy remains snubbed.



8) The Great Bear Scare: 40 years ago this weekend, many stations aired this 1983 Halloween-themed follow up to The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas.




9) Big Eddie: Let's take another look at the short-lived CBS sitcom that aired the same night as "Chico and the Van," the episode we talked about on the pod this week.




10) R.I.P.: Mitzi Gaynor and Sherry Coben (creator of Kate and Allie):
