Game Time: A complete episode of Hollywood/Storybook Squares (1976)

 The revival of Storybook Squares began in the summer of '76 on Hollywood Squares. The gameplay format had change to allow three generations of families to play the game.

This time around, the rules were bent to allow for William Shatner to reprise as Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek), while the rest of the panel were in costume as various characters such as:

John Byner as the Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland). Byner paid homage to Disney's adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic by impersonating Ed Wynn, who voiced the Hatter in the movie.

Bonnie Franklin (One Day At a Time) as Peter Pan.

Rip Taylor as Rip Van Winkle.

Roddy McDowell as Sherlock Holmes.

Doc Severinson (The Tonight Show) as the Angel Gabriel.

Julie McWhirter (fresh from The Rich Little Show) reworked the Family Hour Fairy into the Good Fairy.

Joan Rivers as Little Red Riding Hood.

Charo as Lady Godiva.

Paul Lynde missed this week of tapings due to other commitments, hence Byner occupying the center square.

Getting Schooled: The Drug Knot (CBS Schoolbreak Special, 1986)

 After a fictionalized account of his life as a NYPD detective went belly-up in the 70's, David Toma resurfaced in 1986 as an anti-drug crusader who gave talks in high schools.

One such case was adapted into "The Drug Knot", a CBS Schoolbreak Special. Our cast includes Rance Howard, Tracy Nelson, and a pre-Married....With Children David Faustino.

Writer David Villaire is known for having written a few Super Friends shorts a few years earlier, and doubles as a production assistant. Directed by Anson Williams (ex-Happy Days).

Toon Rock: A Fifth of Beethoven (abridged) (2006)

 Seth MacFarlane and the producers of Family Guy paid homage to musical director Walter Murphy by inserting his 1975 chart topper, "A Fifth of Beethoven", into an episode of the series. It's under a minute, and, as we'll see, Meg gets left behind.....

Spooktober: A meeting with the teacher (The Munsters, 1966)

 From season 2 of The Munsters:

Eddie (Butch Patrick) is given an assignment to write about a "typical American family", like his own. That leads to the teacher (Pat Woodell, ex-Petticoat Junction) paying the Munsters a visit......

Retro Toy Chest: Remember Tiny Tears? (1960)

 An independent toy maker released Tiny Tears around 1960, and to best sell the product, hired ventriloquist Shari Lewis to pitch the product, with help from Lamb Chop:

Tiny Tears would stick around for a while, well into the 70's, if memory serves me correctly.

Tooniversary: The Girl Who Cried Vampire (Filmation's Ghostbusters, 1986)

 You've heard of the boy who cried wolf, right? Now, meet "The Girl Who Cried Vampire", as a chronic liar gets a reality check from Eddie (Peter Cullen). And check the vampires, reconstituted versions of Sam Dracula & Bella from The Groovie Goolies!

Toonfomercial: Remember Mr. Bubble? (1961)

 Ah, Mr. Bubble. A bubble bath for kids, introduced in 1961. This toonfomercial introduces the product.

I believe that is June Foray as the nearsighted parent.
