1) Peanuts: Our season finale (But stay tuned for Battys!) looks at It's an Adventure, Charlie Brown; a 1983 animated special with some really funny stuff. We enjoyed talking about the specials as a whole, though, since we feel the non-holiday installments don't get the attention they deserve. I am glad that most have a stable if not permanent home on Apple Plus after years of neglect on broadcast and cable.
3) Miami Vice: The iconic series is back on Tubi for free streaming, no thanks to that nasty Calderon.
4) Yogi's Gang: Out of the list of seemingly hundreds of cartoons announced as coming to Tubi, about a dozen actually appeared, and most of those are from this century. It's good to see this 1973 ecology-focused series there, though.
5) National Proofreading Day: I am going to keep this blurb short to avoid making an error. You know who must have had good proofreaders? TV Guide. I don't remember seeing a lot of boo-boos there.
6) Easter Seals Telethon: The 15th annual event aired 40 years ago this weekend. Pat Boone and Donna Mills appeared.
8) Classified Love: 40 years ago, CBS aired this television movie featuring Michael McKean, Dinah Manoff, and Stephanie Faracy as three friends trying to find romance through the classified ads.
9) Facts of Life: Antenna TV has a marathon of the sitcom today. It would be funny if the showed nothing but Edna's Edibles episodes.
10) R.I.P. Bob Rosenfarb: The writer and producer worked on shows such as Heathcliff, Head of the Class, and St. Elsewhere. There's some variety!
Also, goodbye to the streaming service Brown Sugar. I remember when it launched. I hoped it would add shows like Julia and Tenafly, but I think Get Christie Love was one of the only TV series it carried.
