#OnThisDay in 1984, 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 began its regular syndicated run. 😈 George Romero’s low-budget anthology gave Gen X one of TV’s creepiest openings—and somehow even “A LAUREL PRODUCTION” at the end was scary. “TRY to enjoy the daylight.” 📺

As we enter the creepy season, the daylight is disappearing a little earlier every evening. You know what that means. The dark side is waiting... 👁 If you know, you know. And if you know...you can probably hear it. 👹

#OnThisDay in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered. 🖖 I was 19, and a NEW Star Trek was a VERY big deal. For the next 7 years, I watched at 10:30 Saturday nights on KENS-TV... or the VCR watched first while I worked at the movies. Soon, Trek belonged to a new generation. 📺

#OnThisDay in 1982, 𝙎𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙋𝙚𝙜𝙨 premiered on CBS. Created by Anne Beatts, this single-season sitcom captured the awkwardness of being a teenager in the early ’80s better than just about anything else on television.

#OnThisDay in 1973: ABC turned the provocative Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice into an 8 PM sitcom. What could go wrong? 😆 The sexy premise was tamed, even the skinny-dipping pilot was held until week 3—and the gorgeous filmed pilot gave way to videotaped sitcomminess.

#OnThisDay in 1984, It’s Your Move debuted on NBC! Jason Bateman starred as teenage con artist Matthew Burton. And “Dregs of Humanity” was clearly the best thing on TV that year. CLEARLY. 😆 Part 2 was preempted—and I finally saw the conclusion 40 years later! 💀🎸

🎵 “Here we are...face to face...” 🎵 #OnThisDay in 1982, Silver Spoons debuted on NBC! Ricky Schroder, Joel Higgins, Erin Gray, a young Jason Bateman—and the mansion every ’80s kid wanted to live in. Arcade games AND a miniature train! 🚂 116 eps/5 seasons. 📺

📺 #OnThisDay in 1982: 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 ’𝙀𝙢 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 premiered on CBS! Bruce Boxleitner starred as real-life animal trapper Frank Buck in 1930s Singapore. Part of TV’s post-Raiders period adventure wave, it lasted just 17 eps—and has never had an official home-video release. 🐅🐘

📺 Get a Life debuted on Fox in 1990, starring Chris Elliott as a 30-year-old paperboy still living with his parents. Dark, surreal and completely unhinged, Chris even DIED in multiple episodes! 😆 Just 35 eps/2 seasons, but a cult classic unlike anything else on TV.

⭐ Who else had one of these? Around 1990 I bought an unofficial 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙉 sphere at Starland in Denver. Sold as something like a “sci-fi sphere,” touching two contacts made it glow and emit an electronic sound. Pre-internet fandom at its finest. 😆 Anyone still have one?

“Your mother was my friend.” 😢 40 years ago today, 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙉 debuted on ABC. At heart, it was about an alien learning to be a father—with 14-year-old Scott often teaching HIM about human emotions. Fatherhood isn't having all the answers. It's listening, adapting and growing together. ⭐
