E's clue.... and the answer is....
Okay gang, since it appears I've stumped you all, here's the answer as promised in my post yesterday:
Clue: Sitcom set in New England, the star of which, in his career, had an alien encounter and learned to pull rabbits out of his hat.
And the answer is:
?Goodnight, Beantown? ? starring Bill Bixby as a Boston TV news anchorman. The show aired from April 1983 ? September 1984
In case you might be wondering about the clue I gave:
Sitcom set in New England - Goodnight, Beantown was set in Boston, Massachusetts.
?He had an alien encounter? - Bill Bixby co-starred in ?My Favorite Martian? as Tim O?Hara from September 1963-September 1966.
?He learned to pull rabbits out of a hat? ? Mr. Bixby also starred in ?The Magician? as magician Tony Blake. The show ran from March 1973 ? April 1974.
Although ?Goodnight, Beantown? had a limited run, I really enjoyed it, but then again, I had a thing for Bill Bixby at that time.
