SUPER SIX LIST - 2013 TV HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES


Here's a Super Six List for you:

1] RON HOWARD

2]  LES MOONVES

3]  BOB SCHIEFFER

4]  AL MICHAELS

5]  DICK WOLF

6]  PHILO T. FARNSWORTH

From the Los Angeles Times:

By Patrick Kevin Day
Director-producer (and "Happy Days" and "Andy Griffith Show" star) Ron Howard, sportscaster Al Michaels, CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves, CBS newsman Bob Schieffer and "Law & Order" mogul Dick Wolf will be inducted this year into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame.


They will be joined in the Hall of Fame's 22nd class of inductees by someone who's indirectly responsible for all of their careers: Philo T. Farnsworth, an inventor responsible for the first all-electronic TV transmission in 1927. Without him, Ron Howard may have been stuck doing Opie on stage. Farnsworth's induction will be posthumous, naturally. He died in 1971.  

O'BSERVATIONS:

Opie Taylor is in the TV Crossover Hall of Fame, inducted in 2002 with his father, Sheriff Andy Taylor.  Dick Wolf is a member in the Wing Behind The Scenes.  If I'm not mistaken, Les Moonves needs only one more credit in order to qualify.  And I think Mr. Farnsworth really deserves entry - as Mr. Day points out, I wouldn't be spouting this craziness if it weren't for him........
 

BCnU!
