1) All in the Family: We brought back Episode Club in our Facebook group this week and watched "Archie and Edith Are Alone" from Season 2. Thanks to all who watched, and special thanks to Trevor for sharing his thoughts (You still can!). I thought it was an excellent episode with a lot of insight into the characters and the usual great performances.
2) Dungeons and Dragons: The Eighties cartoon, which we just discussed in our latest season, is now on Roku Channel. Only thing is you have to roll a D20 to find out which episode you get.
3) Ron Perlman: Happy 75th birthday to the star of Beauty and the Beast! (He was Beast.)
4) Thomas Jefferson Day: So I know today is his birthday, but I can't place the name. Was he the cousin of George who made a pass at Weezie?
5) Mannix: The series finale aired 50 years ago tonight, and surely Joe got one last concussion for old time's sake.
6) Columbo: Prime Video now has the entire series, including the Nineties revival.
7) The Masters: 50 years ago, Jack Nicklaus won after one of the tourney's most thrilling Sundays. Lee Elder, who missed the cut, was the first Black golfer to compete (in 1975--yikes!). I still kinda wish Rodney Dangerfield had barreled out there with a boom box at some point.
8) Scrabble Day: May your day be free of stoppers.
9) A Chipmunk Reunion: 40 years ago tonight, NBC aired this special, in which the lads reunite with their long-lost mother...Vinny? Is this canon?
10) R.I.P. Don Mischer, Jay North: The latter was nominated for Outstanding Youth for Dennis the Menace in the Season 11 Battys.
