    @gary_Burghoff tweeting memories of Battle of the Network Stars is, by a zillion miles, the best thing that has ever happened in the history of media. I can’t even imagine what would come in second to this. In 1979'ish I went to a filming of it at Pepperdine and came away with Richard Hatch’s autograph.  Maybe the best day of my youth. And for those of you Gen Yay'ers who still haven’t gotten around to studying their history, here are a few pieces to help you remember what a great land this once was. I am dead. Why go on?  Media, we’re done here. Let’s all go home.
