"EINSTEIN'S UNIVERSE"
AFI SALUTE TO HENRY FONDA
"When I see Fonda ... he completely involves me in whatever he is doing. I can't believe he's anything but the part he is playing. You might call him the super-realistic actor." -Richard Burton
Special: Honoring a movie great. Henry Fonda made his debut opposite Janet Gaynor in a 1935 romantic drama called "The Farmer Takes a Wife." Since then, he has appeared in over 75 movies, never winning an Oscar, but winning critical acclaim in such films as "Jezebel" (1938), "Young Mr. Lincoln" (1939), "Drums Along the Mohawk" (1939), "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940), "The Lady Eve" (1941), "Mister Roberts" (1955), "12 Angry Men" (1957) and "Once upon a Time in the West" (1969). Clips from those films are shown as Fonda receives the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. Also scheduled: tributes by Fonda's daughter Jane and son Peter. Bette Davis, James Stewart, Lucille Ball, Jack Lemmon, Charlton Heston, Barbara Stanwyck, Kirk Douglas, Gregory Peck, Richard Burton, James Garner, Fred MacMurray, Marsha Mason, Dorothy McGuire and Lloyd Nolan.

"NOVA: EINSTEIN"
TRIBUTE TO "MR. TELEVISION" MILTON BERLE 8:00 2 March 26, 1978(1978)aired 1978
Special: Saluting TV's favorite uncle. Milton Berle and "Texaco Star Theatre" arrived in 1948, and over the next seven years the show changed sponsors and titles. But not stars. Berle remained the one and only "Uncle Miltie," regaling America with pie-in-the-face slapstick, outrageous satire and female impersonations that never left gender in doubt. Highlighting this show are kinescopes from the era, showing Berle with Martha Raye, Frank Sinatra, Gracie Fields, and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. There are also clips from Berle's later career, including a dramatic performance as a blackjack dealer in "Doyle Against the House," a 1961 telecast that earned him an Emmy nomination. On hand to pay tribute are 18 celebrities, including Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Kirk Douglas, Frank Sinatra, Flip Wilson (as his character Geraldine), Lucille Ball, Don Rickles, Mario Thomas, Angie Dickinson, Joey Bishop and Gregory Peck. (60 min.)(1948)aired 1948
