Happy Days "Hollywood" Parts 1–3
Tuesday 23–Thursday 25 at 9PM | 8C

Ah, yes, it's the infamous jump the shark epic! The episode is hardly as terrible as pop culture makes out. It's the American history musical episode that should really live in infamy. This three-parter is pure '70s event television. They always seems to head for warm vacation spots, but the Bradys must have had Hawaii booked up.

The Twilight Zone "Living Doll"
Tuesday 23 at 12:30AM | 11:30C

It's Telly Savalas versus a sinister toy doll! This still creeps us out more than Chucky.

Wednesday 24, Thursday 25 at 5PM | 4C

Oh no! A teetering boulder is threatening the luxurious home of Milton Berle! This two-part extravaganza packs in loads of celebrity cameos — Tina Louise, Ken Berry, Richard Kline, Nancy Kulp, Lee Meriwether, George Peppard, Cindy Williams, Chuck Woolery, Gary Burghoff, Todd Bridges and dozens more. It's a perfect way to gorge on CHiPs before the boys park their bikes and take a break from the schedule for a while.

The Rockford Files "Deadlock in Parma"
