turned 84 September 5.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob Newhart, among TV’s most enduring stars with shows stretching back more than five decades, wept as he finally captured his first Emmy
Award.
Newhart, 84, was honored at Sunday’s creative arts Emmy ceremony for his guest
role last season on "The Big Bang Theory" as Professor Proton, a down-on-his-luck former host of a children’s science show.
"This is my seventh shot at this…I just love this very much," he said, gazing tearfully
at the trophy in his hand as the audience gave him a standing ovation.

The Outer Limits series that aired on ABC-TV from 1963 to 1965. It is

The Lone Ranger (Clayton Moore) and Tonto (Jay Silverheels)
The Lone Ranger television series ran from 1949 to 1957, starring Clayton Moore
(John Hart from 1952 to 1954) with Jay Silverheels as Tonto. The show initially
featured Gerald Mohr as the episode narrator. Fred Foy served as both narrator
and announcer of the radio series from 1948 to its finish and became announcer
of the television version when story narration was dropped there. This was by far
the highest-rated television program on the ABC network in the early 1950s and
its first big hit.
