2) The Munsters: Tubi added the show, which we cover here, for October. It's a good thing it landed there. Grandpa's first spell put the show on History Vault.
3) Peanuts: The gang celebrates is 75th anniversary this week, and I bet there are a few seniors out there who still have bits of Almond Joy in their teeth.
4) McCoy: The short-lived Tony Curtis starrer debuted 50 years ago tonight as part of NBC's Mystery Wheel. The title character was a con man who turned "good" to outcon other con men.
5) President Harry Truman: He gave the first televised presidential address on this date in 1947. Viewers on YouTube had to sit through an unskippable 60-second ad for Thomas Dewey.
6) Gimme a Break: 40 years ago tonight, the series aired "The Man from Zoron," in which Ken Berry played a man claiming to be from outer space. Hey, I kind of want to see this now. Note that Berry gets special guest star credit in the actual opening credits/theme song.
7) Angela Lansbury: She's Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Month. OK, OK, I suppose she had a career before Murder, She Wrote.
8) National Pizza Month: I plan to celebrate early and often.
9) The Honeymooners: Ralph Kramden debuted on this day in 1951 as a sketch on DuMont's Cavalcade of Stars, and Catchy Comedy celebrates with a marathon of the show this weekend. Outside the BOTNS time frame, you say? The 'Mooners are always welcome around here!
(The Classic 39 filmed half-hour version of the show premiered October 1, 1955.)
10) Ron Friedman, Patricia Routledge: We missed the death of the longtime TV writer a few weeks ago.
