- 20/20: 10th ANNIVERSARY RETROSPECTIVE
6/10/88
The series celebrates its first decade with a compendium of highlights. Hugh Downs, who has hosted "20/20" since its second show, and Barbara Walters recall some of their memorable reports. For Walters, they include interviews with President Reagan (1981), First Lady Nancy Reagan (1983), activist Abbie Hoffman (1980), Prince Charles (1984), Betty Ford (1987) and Donna Rice (1987). Downs, meanwhile, remembers his adventure segments, including a trip to the South Pole (1983) and a yacht race to Bermuda (1985). Also: "Moment of Crisis" footage, including a New Orleans skyscraper fire in 1980 and the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat in 1982; excerpts of investigative stories by John Stossel, Tom Jarriel and Geraldo Rivera; "Personal Touch" talks with White House press secretary James Brady (1986), Stevie Wonder (1985) and violinist Itzhak Perlman (1985); and profiles, including Barbra Streisand, George Burns and Steven Spielberg. (2 hrs.)
- 60 MINUTES: COMMEMORATING 20 YEARS OF STORIES
10/10/88
"The day 60 Minutes went on the air," Harry Reasoner remembers, "no one knew what an ayatollah was or what Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome was. And a surrogate mother was someone who looked after your kids." That day was Tuesday, Sept. 24, 1968, and tonight, CBS's Sunday staple begins a two-part retrospective on two decades of profiles, topical stories and muckraking reports. Critics called the latter "ambush journalism." They became a series trademark, sometimes elaborately mounted. One example was a 1976 segment in which the series set up a phony clinic in Chicago to expose a Medicaid kickback scheme. In a less covert 1977 story, Mike Wallace "ambushed" a man running a California "college" where master's degrees could be bought for $250. Part 1 (which concentrates on the first 10 years) also recalls memorable interviews with Presidential nominee Richard Nixon (1968), who speaks of "re-storing respect to the Presidency," and Nixon aide John Ehrlichman, who scoffs: "Cover-up? What cover-up?" in a 1973 talk about Watergate. Then there's the magnificent 94-year-old conductor Leopold Stokowski (1977), who says he remained so active because "I've tried the opposite and it's boring." (60 min.) Wallace and Reasoner during the first season & 10/17/88. The investigative newshounds at 60 Minutes celebrate 20 years of topical muckraking, championing the oppressed, tilting at windmills and profiling newsmakers with a two-part special (concluding next week at this time). Tonight's first half, appropriately enough, examines segments from the seminal newsmagazine's first decade. See the Close-up on A-61. (7 PM 5) 10/10/88

- HAPPY DAYS REUNION:
- THE WAY WE WERE
A nostalgic remembrance of a TV sitcom that cashed in on a nostalgia craze. Set mainly during the 1950s, Happy Days (1974-84) viewed the Eisenhower era through rose-colored glasses, depicting a period of American innocence frozen in time between World War II and the tumultuous '60s. Viewers flocked to it. At the end of the 1977 season, Happy Days bumped All in the Family from the No. 1 spot in the ratings. This retrospective mines memories from producer Garry Marshall and reunited cast members, including Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham), Henry Winkler ("The Fonz"), Marion Ross (Marion Cunningham), Tom Bosley (Howard Cunningham), Anson Williams (Potsie), Don Most (Ralph Malph), Scott Baio (Chachi) and Pat Morita (Arnold). They look back at themselves in an ample compilation of clips, which also features the 1975 episode that introduced Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams as Laverne and Shirley; and the '78 sitcom debut of Robin Williams as the zany extraterrestrial Mork.
