- O.K., so Today is the oldest daily program on network
- television, but did this justify a 40th-year fete that seemed
- to run that long? NBC's garrulous celebration culminated last
- week with a look back to those halcyon days when no one had ever
- heard of something called Good Morning America. Endless archival
- footage, an anniversary show and a prime-time special proved
- that there are duller things than a PBS pledge drive. But amid
- the pitiless plugola came some refreshing lunacy: Bill Cosby in
- the fright wig and free-form facial hair of critic Gene Shalit.
- This made up for the cowboy who compared his horses to the Today
- show hosts. A little.
