2) Major League Baseball: The national pastime is back, and while Netflix didn't get great reviews for its Opening Day coverage, I give an A+ to this 1980s hype video:
3) The Bob Newhart Show: Another addition to the Prime Video lineup is the opener of our current season, TBNS. I'd like to see The Mary Tyler Moore Show return, too, but I am happy this one returned. Moonlighting is also on Prime now, by the way.
4) David Garrison: I haven't listened to it yet, but the star of It's Your Move is on Ian Talks Comedy this week, and I am anxious to hear it. I also loved him on Married with Children.
5) Comic Relief: The HBO fundraiser debuted 40 years ago tonight.
6) Super Mario Brothers Super Show: MeTV Toons adds the 1989 series to its lineup today to celebrate the upcoming movie release and maybe, just maybe, to celebrate Lou Albano and Danny Wells!
7) Murder, She Wrote: A movie is really happening--coming December 2027--and Jamie Lee Curtis will be Jessica Fletcher. Not sure how I feel about this, but nothing can take away all 260-some episodes I watched, and --Oh, my goodness, I still can't believe I watched all 260-some episodes.
8) 1976 Oscars: 50 years ago on this date, the 48th annual Academy Awards ceremony aired on ABC, but also on that evening...
1976 NCAA Men's Hoops Final: Yes, they held the championship on the same night as the Oscars! Indiana beat Michigan by 18 to cap off an undefeated season.
9) 1976 John Denver and Friend: Gotta love the name of this other big special on ABC 50 years ago today, in which Friend was actually Frank Sinatra. Rocky Mountain Ring-a-Ding-Ding!
10) R.I.P. Valerie Perrine:
