Peter Tork from the Monkees had a strange little quirk. Sometimes, when other actors were delivering their lines Tork would unthinkingly mouth their dialogue along with them, as seen in this YouTube compilation. Once you spot it, it makes the show (which was already kinda weird) weird in a whole new way.

I fell in love with the TV show 60 Minutes as a child. I loved non-fiction storytelling. Because of where I lived, I got a chance to be on TV when I was in high school. I appeared as a student on Gene Autry's TV station, KTLA. I preferred the world of television to the world of film because it moves faster and there aren't long setup times.

Morgan Fairchild is one of America's best-known actresses. Daytime soap opera fans may remember her in Search for Tomorrow in the mid-70s. Her breakout television performance as Constance Weldon Carlyle in Flamingo Road (Golden Globe Best Actress nomination), was followed by Racine, one of her favorite roles, in Paper Dolls. Ms. Fairchild also starred in long-running television shows including Falcon Crest and Dallas.

The result was a clunky moment in which Cher was brought out to present the award for Record of the Year before Trevor Noah interrupted her to hand over her lifetime-achievement award. Whether or not the Grammys intended for her to make a speech was unclear, but she did nonetheless, and rightfully so! "Thank you, I guess I'm supposed to walk off now. All right," she drifted, before being intercepted

Hence the attention that is paid to the annual announcement of the Baftas, Golden Globes and Oscars hosts; they are gigs that can flourish in the cultural memory, such as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's multiple turns at the Golden Globes, or become infamous, such as Anne Hathaway and James Franco's double act at the Academy Awards in 2011, which saw them castigated as children and spectacularly unwatchable by the media.

If you miss the days of Saturday morning cartoons, you might want to go ahead and download the free Tubi app. In a recent announcement, the ad-supported streaming service said it is kicking off its "cartoon era" on March 1, adding more than 100 classic cartoons you can watch for free. The service already has an extensive collection of retro cartoons, but it's about to get a lot bigger.

For multiple generations of Americans, Johnny Carson is closely linked with the concept of home. Whether his name conjures fuzzy memories of drifting off to the quiet soundtrack of television static and a parent's laughter, or brings to mind tuning in to hear his take on the news after a long work day, many remember Carson as a nightly ritual.

We obviously grew up together and spent a lot of time on camera together, she said. To not have that for 20 years and work with different people and have all these different experiences, and then come back together? Oh my god, I remember how much I know you on camera and you know me on camera.' It's so special, and it was so much fun because we work really well together.

Weddings are a major plot point on TV, often taking place in season and series finales. So Business Insider rounded up the best and worst wedding dresses on television. We loved gowns from "Gossip Girl" and "Friends," but the "How I Met Your Mother" dresses didn't impress.

There isn't a weak link in the cast and they work together as seamlessly and apparently joyfully as you could wish. Jokes come thick and fast Andre Braugher and Terry Crews in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Photograph: Fox/Getty Images The jokes come thick and fast, the tone is perfectly pitched, the occasional emotional moment well done, and it rarely strikes a false note. You can watch it again and again and be delighted every time.

hitting a big red reset button, which turns out to be just what the franchise needed. Executive-produced by Seth Rogen, this Muppet Show plays like an episode of the classic variety series, which premiered 50 years ago, right down to the theme song, the practical effects, and Statler and Waldorf heckling about its very faithful rebootiness: "If it ain't broke -" "They are broke! That's why they're doing it!" Har har har!

Mum and dad bought a Vidor TV for the coronation in 1953. We used to watch the Television Newsreel on Saturday evening I was fascinated by the start, which was the BBC revolving round the Alexandra TV tower. I think this (together with listening to the shipping forecast on the radio) is what sparked my lifelong obsession with radio! It is still with me 70+ years later. Phil Holliday, 78, New Zealand

From Gemma Collins' 'I'm claustrophobic Darren!' to Jessie Wallace's delivery of Kat Slater's infamous '... YES I AM!' quote, the huns of Britain know how to make a defining TV moment - and a meme. Now, with hun-dreds of such TV moments to choose from, delivered by a plethora of small-time gay icons, the voting British public have declared who they believe to be the biggest hun in TV history. And no, it's not Natalie Cassidy.

There's so much going on in the world, in our country, and hell, in our own work and family lives. Just because the headlines are straight out of a dystopian novel doesn't mean your kids stopped needing you to help with their homework. When our days are full of so many demands, no wonder we feel hyped up and anxious by the time the kids are in bed.
