In 1975, One little miscalculation can just ruin your whole day. Take Chuckles the Clown, WJM-TVʹs kiddie-show host. Named grand marshal of the circus parade, he shows up dressed as Peter Peanut, and, as news director Lou Grant (Ed Asner) later explains to his troops, “a rogue elephant tried to shell him.” And so begins “Chuckles Bites the Dust,” unquestionably the best REMembered, most discussed, most supREMely influential episode of all time. Chucklesʹ nutty demise becomes the source of dark jokes for everyone in the office — except somber Mary, who canʹt see the absurdity of the incident, the humor in the clownʹs passing… until the funeral when, in a sublime example of poor timing, it suddenly hits her during the eulogy. Surrounded by stony-faced mourners, striving to maintain proper decorum, squirming for control, trying to cover her giggles with coughs and throat clearings, Mary, finally lets loose. Surprisingly, the preacher encourages her unseemly outburst as something the deceased would have wanted. No sooner does he say, “So go ahead, my dear, laugh for Chuckles,” than Mary breaks down in tears. This unforeseen final twist, and Mooreʹs bravura bipolar performance, make this exquisite episode a sitcom landmark and proof positive that TV can explore a social taboo with sophistication, wit, irreverence, and impeccable good taste.

In 1986, “Buckner Muffs the Ball.” The Curse of the Bambino was finally about to be put to rest. The Boston Red Sox had not won a World Series to date since 1917, a losing streak superstitious fans attribute to the teamʹs trading of Babe Ruth to the Yankees. But at long last the Bo Sox had one in the bag. The Red Sox needed only one out to win the Series against the Mets, and Mookie Wilson had just tapped a weak grounder to Bostonʹs first baseman Bill Buckner. Incredibly, the ball rolled right between Bucknerʹs legs. The Mets went on to win that game and then the Series. Curses! Foiled again. Also: Michael Sergio interrupted the game when he entered Shea Stadium…by parachute.

In 1986, “Saturday Night Live” was taped for later broadcast two weeks from today due to the World Series overrun earlier as the game ended just past 1AM EDT the following day on NBC.
