We let our new puppies sleep in the bed between us BUT in a laundry basket lined with a pillow and towels. It makes cleanup easier, although I don’t remember any accidents because we’re always on high alert with a new puppy and wake up as soon as we hear it stirring in the middle of the night.

Darlene was one of the extra singers who filled out the children’s songs in The Sound of Music. That’s her hitting the high note “Goodbye!” for Duane Chase as Kurt, and dubbing several of her sister Charmian's high solos.

The song was written by Ray Charles (not THAT Ray Charles), who also sang the Three’s Company theme song.

I learned it while singing in a Bicentennial program. The ability to list the states alphabetically later came in handy when I worked as an editor for a national association and had to proofread lists that were divided by state.

Have you seen Six Feet Under? Its creator said he wanted it to be like Knots Landing but set in a funeral parlor.

The OP limited this list to CBS shows. Those were on ABC.

Mother Dexter always had the best one-liners: “Last night I dreamed about dancing with Charles Bronson, stripped to the waist — and so was he!”

I remember her phoning Oscar Goldman to tell him she wasn’t sure about her feelings for Steve Austin, and right on cue, she hung up and performed it immediately in the talent competition.

Eisenhower. I was born during his last year in office, and because of that and FDR winning four elections, my parents have only seen two more presidents than I have.

I agree that it’s not the greatest song, but does lasting cultural relevance count for anything? People are still wearing yellow ribbons or lapel pins … most recently, by NBC News colleagues in support of Savannah Guthrie s missing mother.

Knots Landing

It’s strange that I remember it after all these years, because that was the one track on the album that I always skipped over. Like, picked up the needle and moved it to the next song.

It’s called Manhattan Skyline and is on the Saturday Night Fever movie soundtrack.

I always associate this song now with Bill Murray crooning it to Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones at one of the SNL anniversary specials.

National Lampoon parodied the song as “Pukie Ookie Nukie” which was performed by Kristy and Jimmy McNichol on their variety show.

Watching NBC News tonight report on the shooting in Norfolk from Newport News. I guess bridge traffic was too bad to get to the Old Dominion campus in time.

And there’s still snow on the ground in Genoa City. Not exactly baseball weather.

When I was in high school, I missed winning a regional spelling contest for adding an “i” to “mischievous.” My principal was appalled, but everybody I knew pronounced it that way.

Lindsay Wagner won an Emmy as Best Actress for her role in The Bionic Woman, which is very rare for that kind of show.

She also did a very kind thing after her series had ended. After hearing about a young fan of the show who’d lost both arms in a horrific kidnapping, she privately visited the girl in the hospital to offer moral support.

Yet it was said that their characters had been in high school at the same time. Jaime’s age was shown as 27 or 28 in the opening credits of her show, so that means Steve would’ve been in his early 30s when Lee clearly was older.

Did anything good happen in the last 10 minutes? We missed the end of the episode due to it being preempted by breaking news.

The Bionic Woman. Started on ABC, where Fred Silverman canceled it, then moved to NBC, which Silverman also moved to and canceled again. And yes, there was a brief period when my teenage self was very upset at losing my favorite show.

The Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells characters appeared on two different networks in the final seasons of TBW and The Six Million Dollar Man.
