This year would have been the 101st birthday of actor Ricardo Montalbán. We mark it with an episode of "Family Theater," in which he plays the real-life hero / outlaw of Old California, Joaquin Murietta. Murietta was almost certainly the inspiration for the fictional hero / outlaw of Old California, Zorro. Then it's Thanksgiving with all the gang on "The Jack Benny Program." In this classic episode, Jack dreams he has been put on trial for the murder of a turkey. Both Phil Harris' signature tune "That's What I Like About the South," and the Andrews Sisters' hit "The Lady From 29 Palms," get witty parodies.
