The first episode of "I Love Lucy" aired in 1951 - I was surprised it was this early, myself.

Laz, you're up!

I don't recall seeing him after I went off to school, so I'll say 1973.

Didn't Blanda retire one time much earlier in his career over a spat with George Halas?

Year Batman (with Adam West) first airs on TV?

I'll say the same year - 1976 - for Charlie's Angels. Maybe the show distracted him from playing another year

Batman first aired on January 12, 1966. Do you recall that it was shown two nights a week, with the second night being the climax at the "same bat time, same bat channel?"

LZ great John Bonham died
