In 1990, “Newhartʹs Final Episode” Japanese speculators had bought up a rustic Vermont village, lock, stock, and cracker barrel — all except for stubborn holdout Dick Loudon (Bob Newhart), whose Stratford Inn was left sitting forlornly on the 14th fairway of a golf resort. When Dickʹs flaky old staff and former neighbors, now all millionaires, show up for a reunion, Dick can take it no more. “Iʹve got to get out of this madhouse,” he splutters. Throwing open the front door, he is hit by a golf ball and slides to the ground. Cut to a pajama-clad Dick in bed, saying, “Honey, wake up. You wonʹt believe the dream I just had.” Whoa, weʹre not in Vermont anymore. Thatʹs the Chicago apartment of mild-mannered psychologist Bob Hartley, and the woman in bed next to him is Emily (Suzanne Pleshette). Weʹre not only in an alternate reality — weʹre in a whole different series (the comicʹs previous sitcom, The Bob Newhart Show). As Bob explains his eight-year dream, Emily, in that deep, smoky voice, says, “That settles it — no more Japanese food before you go to bed.” Unquestionably, the cleverest sitcom finale in TV history.

In 1992, How do you say good-bye to a legend? Yes, thereʹd be another show the next night, but that was to be one of The Tonight Showʹs patented reeling-through-the-years retrospectives. So this was really Johnnyʹs swan song. And what a chanteuse he got to sing it! Suitably dressed in black, Bette Midler crooned “You Made Me Love You” with lyrics adapted to the occasion. When she began “Hereʹs That Rainy Day” — a Carson favorite — Johnny joined in and the two, faces inches apart, warbled a sweet impromptu duet. Then, perched on a stool, Midler said, “I canʹt believe it, the last guest, the last fool Mr. Carson will have to suffer gladly.” She swung into the Johnny Mercer-Harold Arlen standard “One for My Baby (And One More for the Road),” again tailoring the lyrics (“Well, thatʹs how it goes/And, John, I know youʹre getting anxious to close”). Carson, a closeup on him now, sniffed and wiped away a tear. Song done, Midler ran over and placed a red lei around his neck. And at the end, after nearly 30 years of always having something smart and funny to say, Johnny Carson was left speechless. WITNESS: “John is not the kind of guy who shows his emotions, especially on the air,” recalls Ed McMahon, Carsonʹs sidekick for 30 years on The Tonight Show. “But that night he almost totally lost it. Betteʹs performance was filled with obvious admiration and most assuredly love.”

In 1999, This is a day that will live in triumph (and weʹre not talking about a sock puppet dog on Conanʹs late night show for that matter)! A longtime losing streak finally ended! After 18 winless nominations, Susan Lucci, famous for her longtime character Erica Kane on All My Children, finally won that elisive Emmy award as Best Soap Actress. Experts had said this year was one of Lucciʹs best chances to break her soap-opera losing streak, with a stellar performance during a hospital vigil over Kaneʹs anorexic daughter. The televised ceremonyʹs audience jumped to its feet Friday night when Lucciʹs name was called, and the crowd howled in protest when producers tried to cut off her acceptance speech. Lucci says she has a place on her mantel for the trophy. She sobbed as she received a standing ovation. “Thank you very much. I truly never believed that this would happen,” she said. Lucciʹs long-sought victory overshadowed a record-setting performance by “General Hospital,” which won eight awards. Rosie OʹDonnell swept the major talk show awards. OK. Can we can the Lucci talk as this feature has been Luccid to death already?
