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.

Followed by The Great Gildersleeve starring Willard Waterman, originally broadcast April 16, 1957, 68 years ago, The Family Prepares for Easter.  Gildy and the family attend Easter sunrise services.

Followed by Fibber McGee and Molly, originally broadcast April 16, 1940, 85 years ago, Big Ink Stain on the Carpet. When Fibber spills ink on the rug, the prescribed remedy is milk and salt. 

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?
