Top Ten #335: Special "First of 2025" Edition!
1) New Year: It's 2025, and we all have the chance to make a fresh start. Remember, do it now because that opportunity expires before the end of the month. Don't even think about trying to improve yourself or make life changes on February 1.
2) Presidential Medals of Freedom: Among the recipients this week were noted star of St. Elsewhere Denzel Washington, noted star of High School USA Michael J. Fox, and noted talk show host Magic Johnson.
3) VH-1: 40 years ago this week, the cable network launched with nary a reality show in its lineup.
4) All That Glitters: The rare 1977 Norman Lear show, which featured Patrick Sim--uh, Gary Sandy, is being uploaded to YouTube. Hat tip to Friend of the Show and podcaster extraordinaire Ian for letting me know. I would link to the YT channel, which has other rarities, too, but I am too paranoid as it is that it's gonna get taken down!
5) National Whipped Cream Day: Must...not...eat...more...desserts...this week...
6) Rumble in the Jungle: 40 years ago today, ABC's Wide World of Sports replayed the historic Foreman-Al fight from October 1974. Around the country, many people tried to con their dumb friends into betting on it.
7) Ted Lange: Pour one out for Lange's birthday! He's more than just Isaac, though:

Happy New Year from BOTNS!
We hope you all have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2025! Let's watch TV like it's 1975 or 1985...only without the rabbit ears, limited channel selection, edited episodes on TV, lack of home video...OK, forget I said anything after "happy, healthy, and prosperous 2025."
There ought to be more New Year-themed specials. Rudolph's Shiny New Year has had to carry too much of the load for the last 50 years.
