What’s on tonight?

I’m watching House Calls at 9:30 for Dack Rambo and Dack Rambo only.

Sometimes they aired it twice in a row, which I referred to as the Dack Stack.

I've always enjoyed Billy Santoro's work.

I just noticed Lou Grant is a repeat. NOT WATCHING

Forget ultrasounds, Pro-Life religious conservatives should show pregnant women considering abortions this episode of Quincy.

Mason Adams gives me hives.

I'm watching The Last Convertible; I loved those trashy miniseries based on equally-trashy book club novels!

John Shea and Perry King! Yum

Such *pretty* boys.

R4 What do you expect? It's June. Nearly everything in primetime is a rerun!

Wow, they really made Bruce Boxleitner look dorky at R8. I didn't recognize him at first.

I would suggest watching "The Rehearsal" at 10:30pm.

This Gus Giordano ballet features one of his company's lead dancers, Jeffrey Mildenstein.

Fantasy Island and Three Stooges, but I'd tell everyone I watched Hidden Struggles.

Flipping between Quincy, the NACCP conference, and Wimbeldon.

Quincy will hook you and put a stop to your flipping, missy.

I’m very glad that “The Three Stooges” listing at 1:10am is specified as COMEDY.

I might have tuned in mistakenly thinking it was the hard-hitting drama also titled “The Three Stooges.”

Not watching Fantasy Island.....that cunt Celeste Holm is on!

I guess it's Dame Edith Evans for me!

*NAACP and Wimbledon

Our very own Earl Holliman in Gunsmoke!

Tom Snyder always has great guests. And definitely watching The Rehearsal.

June 29, 1981 was a Monday. I was at NYU at the time but of course this was summertime. I had a night job and probably didn’t get home until about 12:30am.

What I typically watched was David Letterman, then the Mare-athon (three episodes of the MTM Show and then the three eps of Bob Newhart. I’m not sure what I would have watched in 1981, though, because Letterman didn’t start until late winter of 1982.

What location is this? Lots of different markets overlap it seams. In NYC, each network had only one station unless you counted the Long Island PBS.

Wimbledon commentator, Billie Jean King, had just come out the month before in May 1981.

Santa Bárbara?

For the PBS types, "The Ambassadors" looks promising. It's part of the "BBC Play of the Month" series where they broadcast a filmed version of a stage play.

Seeing David Huffman's name listed as one of the actors reminds me that he was murdered by a 16-year old in San Diego in a violent attack just four years later.

I actually can’t tell. I collect issues of the French surrealist magazine Minotaure and purchased one a few months ago. The seller padded the package with assorted, very old pages from magazines and newspapers. This page from TV Guide was in there.

Not :Free to Choose since Friedman fabricated much of the data he used to prove inflation was caused by the money supply. It does have a role of course but he was an ideologue not a true academic

R23, that's a nice bit of revisionist history, but Billie Jean King did NOT come out at any point in 1981. She did however, admit to a one time homosexual relationship with Marilyn Barnett, who was suing her for palimony. She went on to say that she was straight, was happily married to her husband Larry and they were hoping to have/adopt a child. She and Larry would not divorce for another seven years and she would not come out as a lesbian until the early 2000s. Billie Jean was a trailblazer for the feminist movement, but she was not a trailblazer for the gay and lesbian movement.

Martina Navratilova on the other hand DID come out in 1981, as bisexual, yes, and in an interview that she thought was 'off the record,' still she never backed down from it and had already been living openly with Rita Mae Brown for a couplle of years. In fact it was the aforementioned BJK who cautioned Martina about being so public about her relationship with Brown

How could I have gotten to be the age I am without ever having seen Telly Savalas co-starring with Dame Edith Evans in "Crooks and Coronets"? Or without ever having heard of it?

I loved women's tennis more than men's, and I knew King, Navratilova and Virginia Wade were all gay and it never bothered me. The main women's sponsors at the time, Avon and Toyota were freaked out. Chris Evert wrote an article defending BJK in World Tennis that more or less outed her.

John Astin, playing a business executive who wants to be a beachcomber on "Fantasy Island," is still with us at 94.
