11. Anyone remember Bosley as...

... an out-of-luck small-time gambler who has to sell his eyes to pay off a debt? "Twilight Zone"? "Outer Limits"? "Night Gallery"? A very touching performance as he says he has "seen it all, anyway" and lists off a handful of sports moments. I don't recall the rest of the story or the main plot, but his five minute performance is what stays with me all these years.
RIP Mr. Bosley
