Original airing on ABC-TV: September 24, 1977 – February 27, 1987
The series was part of ABC’s popular Saturday night lineup that included
Fantasy Island until that show ended in 1984. The original 1976 made-for-
TV movie on which the show was based (also titled The Love Boat) was
itself based on the nonfiction book The Love Boats by Jeraldine Saunders,
a real-life cruise director.
Original series aired: September 23, 1962 to March 17, 1963.
The animated sitcom The Jetsons was produced by Hanna-Barbera and
was the first program to be broadcast in color on ABC-TV. It was Hanna-
Barbera’s Space Age counterpart to The Flintstones.
Hiram King "Hank" Williams, Sr. (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953)
Hank Williams recorded “Take These Chains From My Heart,” “Kaw-liga” and
“Your Cheatin’ Heart” in his final recording session, at the Castle Studio in
Nashville’s Tulane Hotel.
Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra (May 12, 1925 – September 22, 2015)
Beloved Hall of Famer Yogi Berra was an essential part of the Yankees
dynasty that dominated Major League Baseball from the late 1940s to
the early 1960s and included other greats like Joe DiMaggio and Mickey
Mantle.
Partly due to the Yankees’ success during that era, Berra, who was also
a 15-time All-Star, established several Fall Classic records, including
most games played, most at-bats and most hits. In 1957, he became
the first World Series pinch-hitter to hit a home run. No cause of death
was immediately given.
