Nearly 10 years after their debut, "Hot Fuss", The Killers released a compilation CD, which included the single, "Just Another Girl". Save for a cameo at the end, where he's dressed like he was in "All These Things I've Done", Brandon Flowers doesn't appear. Instead, Dianna Agron acts as a stand-in, miming Flowers' vocals.
From season 1 of All in The Family:
We had this one up before, and ended up losing it after it'd been taken down from YouTube. Now, it's back, via the Norman Lear Effect channel.
Archie (Carroll O'Connor) learns about judging people when he makes a wrong impression about a friend of Mike & Gloria's, only to discover when he goes to the bar that a friend of his has a secret. Anthony Geary and Philip Carey guest star, along with Billy Sands (billed as Billie), whose former McHale's Navy castmate, Bob Hastings, makes his debut as the bartender.
Sure, Flag Day was yesterday, but let's travel back to World War II with The Gallant Men, a one season drama from Warner Bros. & ABC.
Van Williams (ex-Surfside Six), George Murdock (later turning up on The Bold Ones & Barney Miller), and Philip Carey (ex-Philip Marlowe) guest star in "The Leathernecks". Hank Simms is our announcer.
Hey, bub, check it. Henry Mancini. Peter Gunn. Ed Sullivan. Whut more y'need to know?
1973.
That was the last time the Knicks were NBA champions. The last title run for Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Phil Jackson, Earl Monroe, and Bill Bradley. The Mets tried to ride that momentum to another World Series that fall, but fell to the then-Oakland A's in 7 games as the A's won their 2nd straight title. The Yankees, Jets, Giants, & Rangers weren't even close.
2026.
An improbable post-season run culminated in the first NBA title since then on Saturday night, as the Knicks avenged a 1999 NBA finals loss to San Antonio by dusting the Spurs in 5 games. Jalen Brunson took on the role of Willis Reed, willing his team to victory, leading the Knicks with 45 points as his father, Rick, a member of the 1999 team, and now, an assistant coach, looked on from the Knicks bench.
Predictably, fans in NYC were delirious, and also prone to violence, just out of sheer stupidity, not knowing how to properly celebrate. For the Knicks' man-child owner, James Dolan, he adds the Larry O'Brien trophy to the Stanley Cup the Rangers won 32 years ago.
But, it almost didn't happen, because of the NBA's star system, and how they want to protect their most marketable players, like the Spurs' Victor Wembanyama. In the 3rd quarter, as the Knicks were making their comeback, the refs missed what would've been a flagrant foul, committed by Wembanyama, on Brunson. Knicks coach Mike Brown, Brunson, and Knicks fans who made the pilgrimage to San Antonio, complained. So did ESPN's team of Mike Breen, Tim Legler, & Richard Jefferson. The refs held their whistles because the league, conspiracy theorists say, wanted the series to continue.
For all the negativity that came with president Trump showing up at MSG on Monday, with granddaughter Kai in tow, the Knicks, you can say, gave Washington's resident man-child an early birthday present.
But, now comes the hard part. Repeating. Good luck.
He was America's most famous film critic, until Chicago's Roger Ebert & Gene Siskel got their own show. A bushy mustache, with an afro to match, made Gene Shalit a television icon for nearly 40 years on The Today Show, starting around 1972.
Shalit didn't just do movie reviews. He also conducted interviews with actors whose films he'd review, such as, in this case, a 1981 interview with Liza Minelli, who was promoting "Arthur":
Bandleader Ozzie Nelson, previously on Red Skelton's radio show, had spun off into his own radio series, which transitioned to television in 1952, beginning a 14 year run on ABC.
It was Ozzie, wife Harriet, and sons Rick & David, with the usual recurring cast of supporting characters, representing the prototypical American family in the 50's.
In syndication, the series used the alternate title, The Adventures of The Nelson Family, as you'll see in this sample episode, with guests Lyle Talbot, Frank Cady (later of Green Acres & Petticoat Junction), and Parley Baer (later of The Andy Griffith Show):
