This week's quote comes from Tom Stoppard, who said in an interview: "I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's – there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is." Now, on with the listings!

Back in the mid-1970s, while visiting KYW-TV, actor Ted Knight - fully in-character as The Mary Tyler Moore Show's bumbling anchorman Ted Baxter - delivered a brief "news" update for channel 3. We find it a bit odd that a character from a CBS show would show up on the newscast of a local NBC affiliate (as KYW was at the time), but we suspect that it may have been a bit of promotion for the station getting syndicated reruns of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
