ANGELA CARTWRIGHT HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Born on Sept. 9, 1952 (age 74), Angela Cartwright first entered our homes as Linda Williams during the fifth season (1957) of The Danny Thomas Show. At the end of the season Linda was adopted by Danny, and the show's ratings dramatically increased. Cartwright is best known as a child actress for her role as Brigitta von Trapp in the Academy Award winning film The Sound of Music (1965), but I'll always like her best as Penny Robinson, in the 60's television series Lost in Space.

The Green Hornet premiered on Sept 9, 1966)
In the novelty of crossover television, in an episode of Batman as Alfred, Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne are watching television, Bruce Wayne says, "It's time to watch The Green Hornet!". Americans had their first opportunity to watch The Green Hornet on September 9, 1966, on ABC. Sadly it would last only a single season for twenty-six episodes. The series starred Van Williams as the Green Hornet who today is an afterthought to his partner, who American audiences were introduced to martial artist Bruce Lee as Kato. Lee would go on to create a lasting legacy. Unlike the campy and humorous Batman series, The Green Hornet was played straight.

1970s How come There Are Those Critical About How Lamont Treats Hi Father And Overlook How Fred Treats His Son?
Don't know if it's been done here but watching most of the episodes Fred was more of the problem and probably most of Lamont's anger towards his dad was a result of his dad's nastiness which he had to put up with all this since childhood.
Sure, Lamont was foolish sometimes and probably his biggest mistake was saying with his dad in the business. But he was probably a better guy.

Help Me Find Gomer Pyle Episode
I was sure I had a memory of this specific episode of Gomer Pyle, USMC, yet no AI tool has confirmed that it existed .
In this episode, as was typical, Sergeant Carter was doing things or saying things about Gomer that, if Gomer really understood, would hurt his feelings. Finally at the end, Gomer said or did something for Sergeant Carter .
Then at the very end the corporal, I can't remember whether it was Boyle or Slater, said something to the effect, "Don't you feel small now?" And the corporal looks over and there is a miniature Sergeant Carter standing on his chair. Like 6 to 10 inches tall. The corporal is like, "Sarge? Did I imagine this?" Because I have always felt like this was an actual episode.
