It centered on the live opening of a secret vault in the Lexington Hotel once owned by noted crime lord Al Capone, which turned out to be empty except for debris. Thirty million viewers watched, making it the "highest rated syndicated special" in history.   

imdb lists this as a Documentary, Biography, Crime

0 clue what to do with this category or how it will be judged.  Just another selection that stood out from my childhood:

37.15:  LIFE CEREAL - MIKEY LIKES IT!  (commercial)

Nice - I need to spend more time on my commercial list. This should have been on it.

Took a shot on this because I saw that only about 1/2 has taken a commercial so far, so in theory it's has a better shot at more points than a couple other categories I have.  I am the last one to take 50s-70s comedy, and only 2 of us have to take their animated show, for example.

Whoever is the judge for this one, good luck.  There is not a bad one among the bunch.

 
Struggling with these character categories I have left.  I watched this show with my parents, so why not..

38.02:  MISS ELLIE EWING (lead woman, drama) 

Won an Emmy for the role.

Barbara Bel Geddes played Miss Ellie for almost the show's entire run. After Bel Geddes underwent heart surgery in 1983, Donna Reed was signed on to play Miss Ellie for the 1984-85 season. Bel Geddes had recovered sufficiently to return to the cast for the 1985-86 season, though Reed was blindsided by the news that the role would not remain hers.

Miss Ellie would end up being Reed's final role -- Reed passed away in January 1986.

 
38.05  Jack Ryan - Action

Again, I'm picking things I have seen and loved.  This is Action.

Awards - 2 wins and 24 nominations (3 Emmy nominations)

Thank the gods I can disallow this.  It's a reality programme.  It is not a documentary.  And it blew disco chunks.

There are tons of great TV docs.  Please pick one that won't make me tear my hair out.

Did any of the rest of you have the "the kid who played Mikey consumed Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola at the same time and his stomach blew up" rumor circulating at your school?

My mom was convinced he was dead.  Even after I told her Oprah had him on her show so that we could all see him, she still didn't believe me.

 
Round 37.11  -  Leading Man Comedy 1950-70  -  George Burns

The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show ran from 1950-58.  It won four Emmys for best comedy/sitcom.

Round 38.06  -  Leading Woman Drama 1950-70  -  Elizabeth Collins Stoddard

Played by Joan Bennett.  She was fun to watch.

OK, punting on documentary for now.  I am picking things I watched and this was a staple for my college years.

38.12  Arsenio Hall - Talk Show Host

From January 2, 1989, until May 27, 1994, he had a Paramount contract to host a nationwide syndicated late night talk show, The Arsenio Hall Show. The show became a breakout, late-night success, especially rating high among the coveted younger demographic and known for its audience's distinctive alternative to applause in chanting, "Roo, Roo, Roo! " while pumping their fists. The practice soon became such a ritual that by 1991 had become a "pop culture stamp of approval" — one that Hall said had become "so popular it's getting on people's nerves."  The gesture was so well known that it appeared in films such as Pretty Woman, Passenger 57, Aladdin, and The Hard Way

I liked Carsenio Hall Better

 
Rd. 38- Mr. Show with Bob and David- Variety

Not sure how it will rank but this is one of my all time sketch comedy shows. Its like SNL for people who love to laugh.  Its a show where each sketch ties into the next. It can be described as being a "tangent" or "chain" sketch comedy show. Each sketch didn't end but merely blended into the next ,finally coming full circle to the original host segment. It was clever, smart and deep.

Bob Odenkirk and David Cross are comedy geniuses who were smart enough to bring other great comedians to the show.People who would go on to huge success like Jack Black, Jay Johnston, Paul F. Tompkins, Brian Posehn, Tom Kenny(SpongeBob),Jerry Minor, and Sarah Silverman. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it as 71st best show in TV history.

Jeepers Creepers may be the best sketch in the history of television.
