1) The Girl, The Gold Watch, and Everything: OK, so it isn't the best TV movie we have discussed. Well, it's certainly ONE of them!
2) Richie Havens: His "Two Hearts in Perfect Time" is arguably the best thing about that movie!
3) Halloween: It's time to start serious preparations for the holiday. if you haven't started assembling your Exo-Man costume, you might already have run out of time!
4) NBA: Pro basketball returned this week and was immediately rocked by a betting scandal. I think I miss the good, old days when the league was plagued only by crippling drug problems.
5) Jaclyn Smith: Happy 80th to the star who, in retrospect, should have been in our trinity of brunettes along with Connie Sellecca, Lynda Carter, and Erin Gray! I just didn't watch Charlie's Angels much as a kid.
6) The Teller and the Tale: 40 years ago this weekend, this syndicated special aired. I don't remember it at all, but it features Vincent Price, Scatman Carothers, and Sally Struthers! I can't vouch for the recording below:
7) Mother-in-Law Day: Let's take time to celebrate all the mothers in law out there who may hate their daughters' husbands but who give us such comic gold.
8) Mighty Mouse: I know many of us growing up in the BOTNS era enjoyed Terrytoons in reruns, and now after years of neglect, they are getting a new showcase on the great MeTV Toons each Sunday at 3:00 P.M. ET.
9) Poindexter Yothers: I mentioned him twice this week in our Facebook group after commemorating the 50th anniversary of Afterschool Special "Fawn Story." Is he having a moment?
10) R.I.P. June Lockhart:
