2) Susan St. James and Jane Curtin: And I am only putting her first because the Emmys put Curtin first by giving her two Emmys.
3) Deli: Coming out of "Kate's Friend," which we focus on in our Kate and Alliei discussion, who doesn't enjoy a good assortment of deli meats (unless there is some kind of health, philosophical, or religious reason)?
4) Celebrity Cooks: Our pal Steve talks about this series on this excellent podcast crossover event.
5) The Legend of Valentino: Maybe you're not interested in Rudolph Valentino, the subject of this TV movie that debuted 50 years ago tonight. Well, how can you not be interested in this cast? Franco Nero has the title role, and he's joined by Suzanne Pleshette, Yvette Mimieux, Milton Berle, Lesley Ann Warren, and Judd Hirsch!
6) National Cashew Day: Still my favorite of all nuts.
7) Columbus Circle: 40 years ago today, ABC premiered this Weekend Special comedy which features Nancy Walker ina supporting role as a New York City bag lady.
8) Johnny Mandel: It's the 100th birthday of the composer of the theme from MASH.
9) Open All Night: A couple recent videos by Paul Van Scott have me thinking about this short-lived but very funny (as I remember) ABC sitcom starring George Dzunda. Johnny Mandel had nothin' on this theme!
10) R.I.P.: Bob Caudle, longtime wrestling announcer; and Ralph Senetsky, who died several weeks ago at the age of 102 (!) and left behind a great website, a lot of sharp memories, and an amazing resume of TV direction.
