The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Evel Knievel (1975)
seeking authoritative air dates for DMCR shows
Great roast...one of the best!!! However, do we know for certain this aired on Tuesday, November 11th, 1975? Is there a way to know any of the DMCR air dates for certain? TV.com shows Monday, November 10th, 1975. I think that's a lot less likely because of the ratings competition with Monday Night Football. Wikipedia had Saturday, October 11th...but I didn't see any authority quoted for that date.
Tuesday, November 11th, 1975 makes more sense because Police Story didn't have an episode on that date, but I just cannot prove your information is authoritative.
Incidentally, bit of trivia. This was not the day Veteran's Day was officially celebrated. In the years 1971 to 1977, it was celebrated on the last Monday of October...only period in history when it was celebrated more than one day either side of November 11th.
Discovery (1962)
remember watching as a kid
I agree with the previous reviewer.
This series has been unjustly forgotten. I wonder if ABC even has any of the film reels or tapes left. It should be put into DVD format and marketed. I would buy the entire series just for something to look at every now and then and remember what it was like to be a young kid in '60s America.
It wasn't all bad stuff, my friends. There was a lot of good stuff out there, and this show proves it. This kids show had substance and class and was very well done.
I was born the year the series started, but I remember the tune from the show distinctly from as early as 3 years old when I was a very avid TV watcher for many years. I didn't remember a lot of other details, but then again this hasn't been on TV once ever since the original airing that I know of.
Please bring it back for old times sake.
