In 1969, A CLASSIC TV BLOOPER. Appearing as Johnny Carsonʹs guest on the TONIGHT SHOW, actress Shelley Winters, repeating an incorrect wire service story, mentions how sad she was that Jerry Mathers, the former star of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, had been killed in action in Vietnam. How did the false rumor start? Both AP and UPI, in listing soldiers killed in the fighting, confused someone whose name was similar with Jerry Mathers with the actor himself. Mathers never served in Vietnam, though he was once in the armed forces — he served in an Air National Guard unit for six years.
In 1971, Jerry West poured in 37 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 127-120 overtime victory over the Baltimore Bullets for their team record 27th straight win, surpassing by one the record held by the 1916 New York Giants baseball team.

Razzed by his friends, he decides to get himself kicked out of the play.
In 1972, “Ghost Story”, TV Anthology; last aired on NBC.
In 1973, On the Christmas episode of “ALL IN THE FAMILY”, Lifeʹs funny. Some people who have been bad all year get a lump of coal in their Christmas stocking. Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton), who couldnʹt be more thoroughly good, finds a lump in her breast just before Christmas. Though Edith tries to keep her condition a secret, soon everybody knows…except Archie (Carroll OʹConnor). When she fears that should she need surgery, Archie will never think of her in the same way again, she learns, in a moving and then hilarious exchange, that her next-door neighbor has been through it and lived to tell the tale. When Archie discovers whatʹs up and races to the hospital, we see the love he canʹt express, and weʹre set up for two things: good news about Edith and one unforgettable punch line. One can only imagine how many women who saw “Edithʹs Christmas Story” gained the knowledge and courage to pursue treatment that saved their lives. Itʹs hard to think of a more profound Christmas gift.
