1) The Emmy Awards: Tonight is the umpteenth edition as the venerable awards ceremony, in a world with the Battys, makes a desperate to stay relevant by honoring current programming.
3) 227: Hey, don't forget the other sitcom that debuted on this night in 1985. It hasn't had quite the cachet that Golden Girls has--still waiting for my Hal Williams Funko--but it did have, on one glorious night, Batty winner Franklin Cover.
4) Late Night with David Letterman: A new FAST channel on Samsung TVs devoted to Dave will offer 1,800 episodes of the show! That's more episodes than humans should be allowed to have.
5) Miss America: The 32nd titleholder, Susan Akin, was crowned on NBC 40 years ago tonight. Quick, name your top 32 favorite Miss Americas!
6) Paul Linke: I dedicate this item to my co-conspirator Mike: Guess who's on Ian Talks Comedy this week! Well, I gave it away, but it's Paul Linke, AKA Grossie from CHiPs! What a career he has had apart from that role, though.
7) Three for the Road: This road-trip show from MTM Enterprises teamed Alex Rocco with Vincent Van Patten and Leif Garrett as his sons. It ended up as the lowest-rated show of the season.
8) Joey Heatherton: Happy birthday to the iconic sex symbol. Who knows, maybe we'll see her in the BOTNSverse someday...
9) The Wuzzles: The cute and cuddly gang premiered in their own Saturday morning cartoon on CBS this day in 1985. It's funny that there are now infinitely more Golden Girls toys than there are Wuzzles toys.
10) R.I.P. Polly Holliday:
