In 1980, The glasses Buddy Holly was wearing when he was killed in a 1959 plane crash were discovered in an evidence drawer of the Mason City, Iowa, police department.

In 1988, NBC takes a “leap” of faith with “Day by Day,” a companion piece to “Family Ties.” This situation comedy was one of the “yuppie sitcoms” that were all over the TV dial in the late '80s. This particular one was about a suburban overachieving couple in Saint Louis who dropped out and opened up a day-care center in their home to spend more quality time with their children. The quality time lasted just under five months. Though the series starred Douglas Sheehan (General Hospital fame) and Linda Kelsey, it is perhaps more well known for its supporting characters than its leads: Julia-Louis Dreyfus is the best friend, Courtney Thorne-Smith as an employee, Christopher Barnes as the loving son and “American Beautyʹs” Thora Birch as one of the day-care kids. Barnes later parlayed his characterʹs dream of being a member of “The Brady Bunch” into a role as Greg Brady in both “Brady Bunch” movies.
