CNN NEWS - 7/7/1981
Today in 1981, CNN aired what was probably the first national American TV news report on AIDS: a short piece about a rare skin cancer that had been diagnosed in 41 young gay men.
The Cable News Network was relatively new then: it had launched just one year earlier.

Tonight in 1981 — The last original episode of NERO WOLFE aired on NBC.
#WilliamConrad starred as Rex Stout's eccentric detective.

The anniversary of KATE & ALLIE's finale is a good time to remind everyone that it's still not streaming.
I'm gonna keep saying this until somebody does something about it.

#LevarBurton took us all #BehindTheScenes of #StarTrekTheNextGeneration on the #PBS #ChildrensTV show, #ReadingRainbow.
If you've ever wondered how they did those #SpecialEffects before #CGI came along, this shows you how it was done-- using everything from disposable razors to glitter in a cup of water.🤯😲

Tonight in 1982 — #PoliceSquad debuted on ABC.
This cop show parody starring #LeslieNielsen is the funniest thing I've ever seen on network TV, by a wide margin.
It spawned the #NakedGun films, from creators #DavidZucker, #JimAbrahams and #JerryZucker.
