Diamonds Are An Eye's Best Friend
Greetings from New York. I took a redeye here this morning because I'm one of the featured stars in the galaxy known as the "Columbia Broadcasting System." In case you never tune in to CBS, let me just say, there is a big party on Sunday night, telecast LIVE at 8pm EST, 7 Central.
"CBS at 75" is going to feature every star that ever had a show on the network. People you don't know are going to be there. People you've never heard of are invited! They gave me a list. Listen to this. Captain Kangaroo. Know who that is? He's going to be there. Walter Cronkite. He's old enough to be on "60 Minutes!" He's going to be there.
I can't wait to see the reunion of the cast of "I Love Lucy." I think they brought in John Edward special just for that.
The surviving castaways from "Gilligan's Island," at the same table with the surviving castaways from "Survivor!" Isn't that compelling television? Important television? Water cooler television? It's the television you watch television for, that's for sure.
There'll be great clips from shows you've never seen, like "Hogan's Heroes" and "M*A*S*H." According to the eyeball, war isn't hell, it's hell-arious! Heh heh! Get it?
Carol Burnett, Bob Newhart, Ed Sullivan, he's the guy who is named for David Letterman's studio, yeah! Someday, it'll be called the Sullivan/Letterman Theater. I have that feeling. Maybe we'll find out "Who Shot J.R.?" Maybe we'll find out "What's My Line?" Maybe we won't find out a thing, but it should be fun trying!
Wait a second. I don't know if I'm giving you the proper perspective on this. This CBS 75 show. It's a once in a lifetime event. "Alias," "Simpsons," those are going to get rerun forever! But! Seeing both Rob Petrie and Lou Grant grabbing Mary Tyler Moore's ass on the same stage? That's a one-shot deal.
So tomorrow night, when you're trying to decide what you want to watch... just think. What's going to provide my most unique entertainment value? Some cartoon or cop show that Fox is going to show a clip from on THEIR 75th anniversary show? Or maybe, just maybe, seeing The Jeffersons and Tony Orlando singing the theme from "Hawaii Five-O" accompanied by Maude, Jimmie "JJ" Walker, Morley Safer, Della Reese and Ray Romano? Ted Danson of "Becker" teamed up with Mary Steenburgen of "Joan of Arcadia!" When would you ever see that pairing, huh?
Television gold like this doesn't happen every day, I promise you!
<3 U.
I'm going to take a quick nap, then go out and enjoy a lovely day here in town. Did you know it's going to get up to 70 degrees here today? Even the weather is cooperating! So should you.
Happy November (sweeps)!

Yes, it's going to be tough to fit everyone in during the three hours, since it's a live show on the East Coast. But it will be a fun night... I'm just not certain how fun it'll be to watch people sitting in the audience! We'll see in a few hours!
