2) Lynda Carter: The iconic actress won a Paley Center Honors winner for her portrayal of Wonder Woman, "which brought Wonder Woman to life with strength, courage, and compassion, resonating deeply with audiences and reshaping TV forever," and "for being sizzling hot in that episode where she wore the blue swimsuit." OK, I may have added the last bit.
3) Good Morning America: The Paley Center also celebrated the 50th anniversary of Good Morning America, which rolls on today but will always be associated with David Hartman and Joan Lunden in BOTNSville.
4) Connie Sellecca: Happy birthday (Since we mentioned Lynda and Connie, let's complete the trinity: Erin Gray)!
5) Little House on the Prairie: Today ran a segment from the vaults explaining the destruction of the original sets. You didn't See David Hartman and Joan Lunden doing this kind of journalism!
6) The Ups and Downs of Henry Kissinger: 50 years ago tonight, CBS ran this documentary about the statesman, and why does it sound like a whimsical Britcom?
7) Tap Dance Day: Did anyone else see this ad hundreds of times back in the day?
8) Pee Wee Herman: HBO Max premieres an acclaimed documentary about the star this weekend.
9) The Indianapolis 500: 50 years ago today, the 1975 running of the race ended 26 laps short due to heavy rain. The broadcast on ABC wasn't even live, but it aired in prime on tape delay. What a bummer!
10) R.I.P. George Wendt: The great was nominated for a Batty in Season 6 but lost to Kelsey Grammer (no shame there), but of course he's an essential part of Cheers, which dominated the awards that season.
