I wouldn't be too surprised, actually, to see that one on Tubi.
2) SCTV: The Monkees gets the top spot because it is actually available now, but in some huge news, SCTV is coming to Netflix in September! There is also word that a new documentary will hit the service later.
3) Goodnight America: Geraldo Rivera's late-night show on ABC had an interesting guest list 50 years ago tonight. He had some folks, including Jack Ruby's sister, on to talk about the Ruby/Oswald links. He also had John Denver and Neil Diamond, but sadly, they appeared in separate segments and, as far as I know, did not discuss the JFK assassination.
4) Madonna: Somehow, someway, in 2026, Madonna tied for the most Video Music Awards Nominations.
5) Mork and Mindy: The show is on Prime Video now--Well, most of it. And maybe some of it was already there? Streaming is complicated sometimes.
Now it's time for the unsold pilots section of the list! The next 4 items are shows that aired on this date:
6) Local 306: This failed sitcom pilot starred Eugene Roche as a plumber who headed his local union. Stanley Ralph Ross of Batman fame wrote and produced.
7) Snafu: This followed Local 306 on ABC. Leonard Stern produced this sitcom about U.S. troops in Italy in WWII. Kip Niven, Tony Roberts, and James Cromwell led the cast.
8) Adam's Apple: This 1986 CBS program starred Sydney Walsh as NYC P.I. Toni Adams, not to be confused with the ex-wife of Gentleman Chris Adams from World Class Championship Wrestling.
9) Dark Mansions: This one aired 40 years ago tonight on ABC. It starred Joan Fontaine as the matriarch of a family that built a shipbuilding empire but faced some secrets and issues. Michael York and Melissa Sue Anderson also starred in this Aaron Spelling production.
10 R.I.P. Bill Rasmussen: The founder of ESPN. We can't blame him for Pat McAfee.
