Happy Columbo’s Day
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.” “If the car’s gone,” “I’ll give you another cookie anyway” “because I love you.”

Oct 8th 1984 - After catching their first ghost at the Sedgewick Hotel, business quickly picks up for the Ghostbusters with more paranormal sightings. On Oct 8th they were featured on the front page of USA Today.

📽️📅 Ghostbusters (1984)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Ghostbusters" (1984): First, the Ghostbusters, wearing their iconic uniforms with proton packs, stand in a lavish hotel interior, engaging in a serious discussion with a man in a suit. Second, a woman with curly hair sits in a living room, watching a news broadcast about the Ghostbusters on an old-fashioned TV, with a cityscape visible through the window blinds. Third, a newspaper headline "Ghost Fever Grips New York" features an image of the Ghostbusters team.

This was a powerful message me to learn as a little kid.

Just one of countless reasons I feel #StarTrek is the most important television show of all time.
