Chris Montan Accepting the 1999 Peabody Award for “Annie”

Musicals may be plentiful on Broadway but they’re in short supply on network television. Bravo then to ABC’s show-stopping presentation of Annie, which aired in the fall of 1999 as part of the Wonderful World of Disney series. In homage to the original Broadway production, original Annie Andrea McArdle plays the “Star-to-Be” in the big “NYC” production number. Executive produced by Craig Zadan, Neil Meron and Chris Montan and directed by Rob Marshall, Annie brightly reprises ten tunes from the original, which debuted on Broadway in 1977. Exceptional ratings for Annie, which finished second in the weekly program rankings, proved there indeed is a “tomorrow’ for musicals on network television.

Under producer Roone Arledge’s helm, this has been accomplished in an indefinable but nonetheless measurable way that does broadcasting credit.

Friendly Fire | Peabody Award Winner 1979

Television covered Vietnam more extensively than any war in history. Only recently has that conflict received serious dramatic treatment. An ABC Theatre presentation, Friendly Fire showed the effect of that war on one Iowa farm family. This true story recounts the efforts of the Mullens family as the search to find out how their son was killed by “friendly fire”—that is, his own side. Starring Carol Burnett and Ned Beatty, the program depicts their growing bitterness over military indifference. The result was a powerful and compassionate case study of how they came to support anti-war cause in the process.
