I had to miss one night of Roots. Went to a track meet with my dad.

Otherwise sorry I missed Rip Taylor. (Still alive btw!)

William Conrad was a star, E Humperdinck was an ATTRACTION

Helter Skelter was a re-broadcast of its premiere from spring of '76

Note that it's "McMillan" not "McMillan & Wife"; Susan Saint James had left the show the year prior - they wrote it into the script that she had died in a plane crash

I mean there are a lot of humdrum boobtoob actors in it -- Sandy Duncan, Robert Reed, O.J. ... but have you no interest in TV culture?

Looks like the 1920's before the Great Crash!

I remember Roots being on TV at the time! It was a big event, iirc (Im not sure if we got it as early as 77 but it has to have been the late 70s some time). I never saw it. I was too young and wouldnt have been allowed.

I remember that godwaful brady bunch special as well but I think everyone my age does right?
