the list came from below
https://bsec.org/the-1960s-decade-of-assassinations/ That's so weird. I was perusing the TV which I rarely watch except while travelling and I stopped at Big Bang Theory on TBS and Bob Newhart came to the weird guy (okay the tall skinny weird guy), in a dream, dressed as Obi Wan. I wonder if it was a coincidence or they slotted it in last minute? Anyway, it's weird it came on just as I was reading your post.
RIP Mr. Newhart
edit: True story, I asked my wife the name of the show and she said "Seventh rock from the sun or something..." then my youngest chimed in from another room, "No, it's Big Bang Theory." and I was like, "How do you know? You haven't even looked at the TV." and she said, "`Cause mom always calls that show by the wrong title."
