In November, “Good Morning America” will hit a unique milestone of being on the air for 50 years. Starting Tuesday, the show aims to wake up viewers and fans by kicking off the celebration.

A promo that debuts Tuesday morning features the program’s broader array of hosts and correspondents — not behind the desk at the show’s longtime Times Square Studios home but out meeting fans and regular people. George Stephanopoulos and his spouse, Ali Wentworth, hang out with passers-by in Central Park. Robin Roberts visits a store run by her sister in their Mississippi hometown. Michael Strahan holds forth from Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx.

But the A.M. show’s central trio aren’t the only ones in the sunlight. The promo also features longtime anchor Lara Spencer, with her daughter and dogs; weather guru Ginger Zee, visiting a local farmer’s market; Will Reeve with...

This Alan Arkin-Peter Falk show is finally being recognized as a comedy mini-masterpiece. Afraid of offending his daughter's future father-in-law, a dentist is sucked into a nightmare of crime and jeopardy, as a jolly Chinese airline whisks him away to a rendezvous with danger in a Latin American dictatorship. It's a gem of sustained mirth.

It's happened once again, as the "Greatest Event in TV History" has been unleashed. This time around, Adam Scott and friends recreated the intro to the early 1980s sitcom "Too Close for Comfort," which is what many expected after the teaser image that was released.

Before the show could get underway, they had to introduce the cast and go behind-the-scenes to show how it all was made, of course. Things started off with Jeff Probst essentially apologizing for the last two installments not truly being TV's greatest moment. Instead, he renamed the night "An Event in TV History," which definitely seems more appropriate.

Joining Scott, who played Jim J. Bullock's role in the intro, was Catherine O'Hara (Nancy Dussault), Jon Glaser (Ted Knight), Chelsea Peretti (Deborah Van Valkenburgh) and Kathryn Hahn (Lydia Cornell).

They weren't the only ones getting in on the fun though, as Jason Mantzoukas was the director,...
