While each decade has its own television shows that leave a mark, the 1980s was full of some truly great comedy television. It was the era when we first met Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties. We met the Tanners on Full House and the Seavers on Growing Pains. Then, there was Cheers, The Golden Girls, The Cosby Show, Family Matters, and Silver Spoons. And we can’t forget about iconic shows like Miami Vice, Roseanne, Murder, She Wrote, and Unsolved Mysteries.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

In a bombshell twist, convicted murderer Scott Peterson is giving his first on-camera interview in two decades. “What he will have to say will shock everyone,” an insider who got a sneak peek at the upcoming three-part Peacock true crime docuseries Face to Face With Scott Peterson exclusively tells In Touch. “He will talk about the murders of his [late] wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, Conner.” The official trailer, dropped on July 29, doesn’t give much away — it includes jailhouse footage of Peterson, 51, being interviewed, but he does not speak on camera. “He will give his side of the story,” promises the source. “He talks to the series director [Shareen Anderson], who has been investigating the murder case for over a decade.” The docuseries comes on the heels of the Los Angeles Innocence Project announcing it will investigate Peterson’s case. The nonprofit that works to exonerate the wrongly convicted is arguing that Peterson’s state and federal constitutional rights were violated and new evidence backs his claim of innocence. Peterson was convicted of murder in 2004 and received the death sentence, but that sentence was eventually reduced to life in prison without parole. “The interview will be chilling,” says the source. “People may change their opinion on whether he’s guilty or innocent.”

Actor Jim Nabors was so popular with his portrayal of Gomer Pyle on TV's classic country sitcom, The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-68), that he was spun off into his own series, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.
