The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was a little before my time. I remember Sapphire and Steel and hadn’t an interest in NCIS. But I very distinctly remember loving the 1970s TV Invisible Man with David McCallum. I was entranced/ weirded-out every time McCallum would remove his wig and face mask to go invisible. Long after I’d see him in something like the Great Escape and say “It’s the Invisible Man!” #DavidMcCallum #InvisibleMan #ManFromUNCLE #SapphireAndSteel #1970sTV

#FlipWilson (1933–1998) would have been 89 today.
He introduced his alter ego Geraldine Jones on a 1969 special that inspired NBC to give him his own variety series.
And #TheFlipWilsonShow (1970-74) became TV’s second-highest-rated show from 1970-72!
