The Gregory Hines Show
''The Gregory Hines Show'' is an American television sitcom that aired on CBS. The series premiered on Monday, September 15, 1997, before airing on September 19, 1997, as a part of the network's Block Party Friday night lineup.

Background ''The Gregory Hines Show'' was the only show on the Block Party lineup that was not produced by Warner Bros. Television or Miller-Boyett Productions. Compared to the Miller-Boyett series, ''The Gregory Hines Show'' was markedly more mature in its themes; Leslie Moonves, incoming head of CBS at the time, described the inclusion of the show in the block as an effort to target the whole family, and executives at Miller-Boyett were fully pleased to have the show in the block, as '' TGIF'', the block for which they had previously produced shows for the ABC-TV network, was quickly shifting into a teen-oriented block that did not fit their style.

Fairy Tales For Every Child
A fairy (also called fay, fae, fae folk, fey, fair folk, or faerie) is a type of mythical being or legendary creature, generally described as anthropomorphic, found in the folklore of multiple European cultures (including Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and French folklore), a form of spirit, often with metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural qualities. Myths and stories about fairies do not have a single origin but are rather a collection of folk beliefs from disparate sources. Various folk theories about the origins of fairies include casting them as either demoted angels or demons in a Christian tradition, as deities in Pagan belief systems, as spirits of the dead, as prehistoric precursors to humans, or as spirits of nature. The label of ''fairy'' has at times applied only to specific magical creatures with human appearance, magical powers, and a penchant for trickery. At other times, it has been used to describe any magical creature, such as goblins and gnomes. ''Fairy' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

On The Record With Bob Costas
''On the Record with Bob Costas'' is an American monthly sports television talk show hosted by the sportscaster Bob Costas. The show ran for four 12-week seasons on HBO from 2001 to 2004 before being revamped into '' Costas Now''. ''On the Record with Bob Costas'' was, in a sense, similar to Costas' previous late night talk show, ''Later'', which Costas hosted on NBC from 1988 to 1994. Both programs featured one-on-one interviews with guests from the sports and show business. In 2021, HBO announced a revival of the show, now titled ''Back on the Record with Bob Costas'' – presumably retitled to minimize confusion with the unrelated 2020 HBO Max documentary '' On the Record'' – which premiered on July 30, 2021, and air up to four times per year. In December 2022, HBO confirmed that the show was canceled after two seasons.
