Was that first hand or in reruns on your local UHF station? Reruns in my case on WUAB43 in Cleveland. That and Hogan's heroes and Hawaii 5-0.

 

I think it was reruns on UHF. I enjoyed TV more back then with the 5-8 channels you got compared to the hundreds of channels on cable now.

Penny Marshall from Lavern and Shirley dead at 75. One of the stupidest shows I have seen. But watched it every week. She also had a very long and successful directing career.

Actress and singer Carol Channing died early Tuesday at the age of 97 at her home in Rancho Mirage, California. Her longtime publicist B. Harlan Boll confirmed the entertainer’s death from natural causes.

Whether you knew her as Dolly, Lorelei, Muzzy or just Carol, Channing was a one-of-a-kind talent who captivated any audience. Her razor-sharp wit, gravelly voice and big, bright smile became the trademarks of a performer who originated some of Broadway’s most iconic roles throughout the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s. Channing continued to share her gifts on stage into her late 90s, enshrining her in a class of Broadway luminaries all her own.
