More retro rewinds

“My Fair Lady” (Paramount+, streaming): Producer Jack L. Warner didn’t consider Julie Andrews bankable enough to reprise her Broadway performance as Eliza Doolittle on film, ironically freeing up the actress for the role that earned her an Academy Award (in “Mary Poppins”). Instead, he cast Audrey Hepburn – with dubbed singing by Marni Nixon – to star opposite stage-version returnee Rex Harrison, who won an Oscar for reprising the role of Professor Henry Higgins, in director George Cukor’s hugely enjoyable 1964 musical take on “Pygmalion.”

“Leave It to Beaver” (METV, Sunday, Feb. 26): One of this sitcom’s best-remembered characters made his debut in a first-season episode that even was named for him, “Lumpy Rutherford.” Played by Frank Bank, he starts out as sort of a bully; when Beaver and Wally (Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow) decide his tormenting of them calls for revenge, they hatch a scheme that unfortunately ends up targeting the wrong person ... Lumpy’s father, Fred (Richard Deacon).

“The Big Bang Theory” (TBS, Sunday, Feb. 26): Before the month of Valentine’s Day exits, a six-episode mini-marathon of this popular comedy focuses on the subject of dating. The first story up is “The Desperation Emanation,” in which Amy (Mayim Bialik) wants to meet Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) parents – sending him into a panic. Meanwhile, Leonard (Johnny Galecki) is distressed that everyone seems to have a significant other except him.

“Pretty Woman” (Freeform, Monday, Feb. 27): It’s little wonder Julia Roberts was willing to reunite with director Garry Marshall in such projects as “Runaway Bride” and “Valentine’s Day,” since he made her a superstar in this immensely popular 1990 comedy about a prostitute hired by a corporate raider (Richard Gere) to be his companion for a week. Though she had done “Mystic Pizza” and “Steel Magnolias” before this, it’s fun to see again how the world at large discovered Roberts.
