FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS - THE NEW YORK SENTINEL


For today’s Friday Hall of Famer we’re adding another newspaper to the Media Room in the Television Crossover Hall of Fame.  We’ve already got the NY Chronicle and its sister publication, the L.A. Chronicle.  (Both published by one-shot character Arthur Kennicutt from ‘Columbo’.)  And the warhorse of the tabloids, the NY Ledger.

Joining them will be…


THE NEW YORK SENTINEL

Sadly that’s the only picture I have so far for the newspaper.  But according to Wikipedia, the NY Sentinel appeared in the following TV series:

  • Law & Order
  • The Adventures of Hiram Holliday
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Murder, She Wrote
The Sentinel played a significant role in Jessica Fletcher’s life, beginning with the tenth season.  And if I’m not mistaken, Hiram Holliday worked for the Sentinel as a proofreader.

At any rate, the New York Sentinel has four TV series to its credit, one more than required for the TVXOHOF.  It may not be much, but hey – it’s the holidays.

What a great alibi!

Wasn't the Ledger already in, and you're inducting the Sentinel?
