A.P. Bio

Navy comedy about a dedicated if abrasive Chief Petty Officer who breaks in recruits through a combination of tough love and---no surprise since it's a Don Rickles vehicle---insults.

A long-running and classic variety series. Skelton, whose sign-off was 'Good night and God bless,' was a comic from a gentler time, a giant, prodigiously talented at mime and knockabout clowning. The radio and movie star brought his warmth to the new medium, with a show graced by indelible characters such as lovable dimwit Clem Kaddiddlehopper; the silent tramp Freddie the Freeloader; and boozy Willie Lump-Lump. His guests were eclectic, ranging from the Rolling Stones to Spiro Agnew.

A 12-year-old girl is being raised by two buddies who were both once in love with her late mother. One of them is actually the girl's father, but they don't know which one.

A pompous, scheming deacon clashes with a new minister over the running of a Philadelphia church in this popular sitcom. The series was a follow-up hit for Sherman Hemsley, who, a year earlier, had finished a 10-year run on 'The Jeffersons.'

The deadpan Rat Packer played an unmarried showbiz publicist in this sitcom's first season. But an overhaul of the show in the second year (with a title change to 'The New Joey Bishop Show') turned the character into a married talk-show host and stand-up comedian. Celebrities appeared as themselves---guests on the fictional talk show. In its final season, the series moved to CBS, where it was broadcast in black and white (after being in color on NBC for three seasons).

While stranded in the jungle during a massive storm, Claire and Simon unknowingly stumble upon a clue to the whereabouts of the treasure sought by Sinjin.
