CHARLIE'S ANGELS, FANTASY ISLAND, HART TO HART and HAWAII 5-O are coming to MeTV in Jan.
As far as I know, only one of these — HAWAII 5-O — is currently on a national network.
All are streaming, but the Sony-owned shows cycle in and out and are rarely in one place for long. So this is good news.

Esther Rolle made her debut as Florida Evans on MAUDE on this date in 1972.
John Amos was introduced as her husband soon after and the spinoff GOOD TIMES followed in Feb, 1974.
At its best, GOOD TIMES was as groundbreaking and historically significant as anything in the Norman Lear canon.

Farewell to MARY TYLER MOORE theme song writer/performer Sonny Curtis (1937-2025), who passed away on the show’s 55th anniversary.
He’ll forever be remembered for asking “Who can turn the world on with her smile?”.
But his season one lyrics cut deeper, reflecting the hopes and fears of a generation of young women who were asked “How will you make it on your own?”.

Nearly five decades after its premiere, Welcome Back, Kotter is still one of TV’s most beloved sitcoms.
The Sweathogs, John Travolta’s breakout as Vinnie Barbarino, Gabe Kaplan’s sharp wit, and John Sebastian’s chart-topping theme song all helped cement its place in pop culture history.

TUNING IN for more Streets of San Francisco today. Current episode with Joe Don Baker as a guest villain. I do believe I always liked Mr. Baker as well. As for my fave, Karl Malden: stellar performance as usual.

Loretta Swit on the series premiere of TONY ORLANDO AND DAWN on this date in 1974.
The MASH star made her "television singing debut" on this CBS summer variety series, which was so popular it returned as a weekly show in Dec (with Loretta guest starring in two more episodes).

Farewell to Harris Yulin (1937-2025)
He’s great in an early role on KOJAK as a drug-pushing pimp w/ a stable that includes Tina Louise, Ann Jillian, and Jess Walton. And Isabel Sanford plays an ex-madam.
It’s like a 1970s all-star team w/ Yulin batting clean-up. Thanks for 50+ years of solid work.
