Dana and Tom celebrate their 75th episode with an American classic as well as the most viewed movie of all-time: The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lehr.

Plot Summary: In Kansas, Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) lives with her dog, Toto, on a farm belonging to her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. After the spiteful Miss Almira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton) takes away Toto for biting her, Dorothy decides to run away to save her dog. Caught in a cyclone, Dorothy is whisked away to Munchkinland in the Land of Oz. Seeking to return to Kansas, Glinda the Good Witch of the North gifts Dorothy ruby slippers, and angers the wicked Witch of the West who also wants them. However, to find her way home, Glinda tells Dorothy to follow the Yellow Brick Road to Emerald City, where she can ask the Wizard of Oz to help her. On her journey, Dorothy meets a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) who wants a brain; a Tin Woodman (Jack Haley) who seeks a heart; and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who desires courage. Dorothy and her three unlikely companions travel to the Emerald City to find the Wizard, and help Dorothy to find home.
