Then My Favorite Husband starring Lucille Ball, originally broadcast April 16, 1950, 75 years ago, Anniversary Presents. It's the Coopers' anniversary, so Liz and George return to the scene of the crime to recreate George's proposal.

Finally, Lum and Abner, originally broadcast April 16, 1942, 83 years ago, How to spend the $10,000? While Ulysses S. Quincy is insisting on a toll bridge, everyone else has a none-too-brilliant idea of what to do with the $10,000. How about an alligator farm?
