SIDEKICK?!?!?!?!

It's Grrrrrreeaaaatt!

Due to Scrooged, "Put a Little Love In Your Heart," got bootstrapped in.

Edward Hermann did a fairly memorable guest shot on MASH as a visiting replacement surgeon who appears to be as capable and confident as the regulars but can't handle the carnage when the casualties come.

In Nothing in Common Janis plays himself leading the jazz band that Jackie Gleason goes to hear play.

Billy Joel wrote "We Didn't Start the Fire" precisely to counter that sort of thinking.

That's exactly right and luckily Truman was the type of guy who wasn't going to moon over preserving each stray piece of wood for posterity.

Gee, Officer Buttke—Butt You!!

Hamlisch wrote a few stunning songs for it which still get performed here and there. He was crushed by its failure. "Menacing" is just the right word for the show and the people behind it feel that shortly after 9/11, New Yorkers didn't have much of an appetite for menace.

She came in second place and was given a first-season guest shot as a consolation prize. The Sam runner-up, Fred Dryer, also got one and came back a few more times.
