The series ran from December 11, 1980, to May 8, 1988,
during its first-run broadcast on CBS.
Magnum, P.I. consistently ranked in the top 20 U.S. television
programs in the Nielsen ratings during the first five years of
its original run, finishing as high as number three for the 1982–
83 season.
On its final approach to Madison, Wisconsin on December 10,
1967, the private plane carrying soul-music legend Otis Redding
(26)crashed into the frigid waters of a small lake three miles short
of the runway, killing seven of the eight men aboard, including
Redding. “Sittin’ On The Dock Of The Bay”, which he had been
recording, would be released in its “unfinished” form several
weeks later, with Redding’s whistled verse a seemingly
indispensable part of the now-classic record and would soon
become history’s first posthumous #1 hit and the biggest pop
hit of Redding’s career.
The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, in
the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace
on December 10, 1901.
The ceremony came on the fifth anniversary of the death of
Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dynamite and other high explosives. In his will, Nobel directed that the bulk of his vast
fortune be placed in a fund in which the interest would be
“annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during
the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind.”
Although Nobel offered no public reason for his creation of the
prizes, it is widely believed that he did so out of moral regret
over the increasingly lethal uses of his inventions in war.
First award ceremony at the Royal Swedish Academy of
Music.

(FOX NEWS) – "A Charlie Brown Christmas," a beloved holiday
television tradition for generations of American families, debuted
to overwhelming popular acclaim despite network fears of failure
on this day in history, Dec. 9, 1965.
Expectations were low for its success, according to several
accounts of the history of the broadcast.
CBS executives were underwhelmed by the slow pace of the
production; and the network had battled behind the scenes
with "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz over the inclusion
of a scene lifted straight from the New Testament of the Bible.
