PBS is making me feel like a spring chicken.
Yesterday, promoting its four-part Pioneers of Television coming next winter, it dusted off Dick Cavett, Tim Conway, Betty White, Tony Orlando and Ed McMahon -- total age way older than the Liberty Bell. (On a sad note, Phyllis Diller, who'll be 90 next Tuesday, couldn't make it to the Beverly Hilton stage to talk to us because she was sick.)
Today, Carol Burnett, 74, turned up. She'll get her own American Masters profile Nov. 5. Somebody asked her about some of her favorite young stars.
Well, she started out with Meryl Streep and George Clooney, and then there was Dermot Mulrooney. And Johnny Depp. We still hadn't gotten under 40. Finally Anne Hathaway came to mind, and then: Lindsay Lohan. 
"Lindsay Lohan's a big talent," Carol said. "My wishes go with her. I think she has a lot to offer, and I just pray that she'll be OK."
I think we all do.
