Fifty-four years ago today, the Beatles became a Saturday Morning Cartoon on ABC, and in a related note, John Lennon went on a shame-fueled drinking spree that resulted in him waking up in bed three weeks later with a strange Japanese woman wearing his mother's wedding ring. Yup, that's how it happened....

The Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, Hawaii Five-O, The Brady Bunch, Knight Rider, and Murder She Wrote, all debuted on this day in various years. In a related note, also on this day, aliens who were monitoring our airwaves voted to bypass contacting humankind.

Fifteen years ago today Conan was given the nod to eventually replace Jay on The Tonight Show.

I'm sure in some alternate universe everything turned out just fine.

Did he crush the jeweled thrones of the world beneath his sandaled feet?

All the while muttering "KROM" under his breath.

Fifty-seven years ago this very day, Johnny Carson took up hosting duties on The Tonight Show. A master of the witty comeback and an early pioneer of sketch comedy, over his thirty year tenure more than 10,000 guests would appear on Carson's stage, and he would go on to invent one of the most popular fictional characters in entertainment history....Johnny Carson.

NBC's Saturday Night, then a comedy, debuted forty-four years ago this day. It went on to be re-named Saturday Night Live, and eventually stopped being a comedy.

Fifty-six years ago today, the Beatles made their first TV appearance. Watching from across the world, an Indian guru remarked to himself, "I do think I could fleece those boys of a lot of their money."

This day in 1904, no one watched any TV whatsoever.

This day in 1991 Full House celebrated its 100th episode, which saw Joey meeting his childhood hero, Ranger Roy, and also revealing to the girls that his real name is not Joey, it's (wait for it!) Hermes.

This day in 1977, NBC aired KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. Seventy-nine little old church ladies keeled over in their parlors, and the devil snared at least 3,000 teenage souls.

I saw it!  Thumbup

I liked it back then (of course I was a teenage metalhead).
I watch it now-it's like a live action Scooby-Doo. And KISS cannot act.

I saw Kiss on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. I had some of they're records. I had a poster- a big one- of Space Ace hanging on my wall. Right nest to my green black lite poster of Frankenstein.
This was about 1975. I was 13! I started buying comic books like a drug addict. I worked picking asparagus and pickles to make money.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
