Yeah, I'm afraid that Wikipedia article is inaccurate in more than a few places... it needs a lot of correction.

As for Kris' montage work on the Astaire special and "The Edsel Show", I always thought they were nicely put together, but I **knew** they were ultimately going to cause confusion by being mistaken for the actual program openings. For the record, folks, they're not.

Just FYI, I've made the necessary changes to the Wikipedia article for "An Evening With Fred Astaire"... doesn't hurt to set the record straight.

Ok...I'm wrong. I can deal with it. It's not the first time I have gotten bad info from Wikipedia. I posted a video on You Tube a couple years ago of the beginning of the telecast of the last event held at the old Boston Garden. A Boston Bruins vs Montreal Canadiens pre-season game. I looked to Wiki to find the exact date only the date provided was off by a couple days. It wasn't until I started getting comments like "my ticket says the date was..." that I started researching and found a close up of the commemorative patch on Cam Neely's uniform as well as a dated New York Times article referring to the event the night before. As far as I know wikipedia is still showing the wrong date on several different pages.
