Top Ten #362

1) Live Aid: Today is the 40th anniversary of the historic event. My memory may be a little hazy, but as I recall, the highlight was Phil Collins beating Freddie Mercury in some sort of transatlantic jet race.




2) Joey Stivic: As I posted in our Facebook group, one of the sidelights of my trip to Luray with Laurie was a glimpse of the original "physically correct" Joey Stivic doll:




3) Gilligan's Island: Also originally in our FB group: Another pic of a memento in the Toy Junction room next to historic Luray Caverns:



4) Bastille Day: Eh...I got nothing. Well, there was that episode of Family Ties where Mallory fell for her French tutor.

5) National Beans and Franks Day: That's more like it.


6) Didi Conn: Happy birthday!


7) Barry Diller: The former head of Paramount, also credited with creating the Movie of the Week while at ABC, is promoting a new memoir. 

8) Mork and Mindy: Antenna has a marathon of the show today. We talk about the series here.

9) Strange New World: This TV movie (Hey, maybe Diller writes about it!) aired 50 years ago tonight on ABC. It's another of those Seventies Gene Rodenberry movies that were designed to launch a series:




10) MLB All-Star Game: One of my favorite events back in the day, the Midsummer Classic returns this week.
