Go back in time to New York City and the world that John Lennon woke up to on the last day of his life, on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio, KSAV.org.

Join us as we welcome television producer and New York Times bestselling author Keith Elliot Greenberg, whose latest book, December 8, 1980: The Day John Lennon Died not only provides a minute-by-minute, almost documentary-like look at the last day of John Lennon’s life, but is also a moving account of Lennon’s life as a whole, his career with The Beatles, his relationship with Yoko Ono, and his impact on the world in general. Keith Elliot Greenberg will be joining us in our second hour.

In our first hour, we’ll remember Don Meredith, former NFL quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and one of the original members, along with Howard Cosell, of the broadcast team for ABC’s Monday Night Football. Our guest that hour will be author Wesley Hyatt, whose books on television include Kicking Off the Week: A History of Monday Night Football on ABC Television, 1970-2005.

Enter the fascinating sphere of forensic medicine with television historian James Rosin, author of Quincy: The Television Series, on the next edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Friday at 7pm ET and PT on Share-a-Vision Radio, KSAV.org.

Author of several books on classic TV shows as Route 66, Peyton Place, The Invaders and Peyton Place, James Rosin’s latest effort is Quincy: The Television Series, an excellent history of the long-running, Emmy Award-winning series starring Jack Klugman. Jim not only takes readers behind the scenes of Quincy, but comes at it from a true insider’s perspective — he wrote and appeared in several episodes of Quincy, including “A Test for Living,” a highly acclaimed story about autism that he co-wrote with series star Jack Klugman. We’ll talk about Jim’s experience working with Jack, and how Jack’s passion and desire for quality, excellence and integrity in every aspect of production was the driving force behind the show’s success. Jim Rosin will be joining us approximately 40 minutes into the program, as part of an expanded second hour.

The second hour will also include a replay of our conversation with Jack Klugman (The Odd Couple, Tony and Me) in which we discuss Jack’s longtime friendship with actor Tony Randall, their many collaborations on stage and television, and how Tony encouraged Jack to return to acting after losing his voice to cancer.

In our first hour, we’ll take a look at Saturday morning cartoons, a touchstone of childhood that has virtually disappeared from network television in recent years. All this, plus holiday DVD recommendations and a whole lot more.
