February 27, 20196 yr 7 hours ago, Nole-4-Life said: I'd forgotten that Happy Days spun off this show. Also I had a major boner for Carol Wayne, who was on LAS a lot. Looking now, the face was a bit busted, but those titties to my adolescent self....wowza. Better pic...guess she was older in the one above. Happy Days was actually a spin off of American Graffiti, they just never admitted it. Lucas made American Graffiti, they got Ron Howard and some people to roughly approximate the other characters, did an episode of "Love, American Style," then ripped off American Graffiti. I've always suspected it was probably so they wouldn't have to pay Lucas royalties, but if you look at the first year, roller skating waitresses, cars hitting the strip, Winkler playing the John Milner character, yeah, it was American Graffiti. BTW, Carol Wayne ended up dead in Mexico, supposedly by drowning. She was probably murdered. Very suspicious circumstances.

I watched em all sitting there with the grandparents chuckling away. There were so many of those. Mac Davis had a show from 74-76. Shields & Yarnell. Watched Carol Burnett every Saturday night. Parents loved it and so did we. Damn solid Saturday night -- 1974-75.

I watched em all sitting there with the grandparents chuckling away. Carol Burnett had great dancers, who did several numbers every week. The dancers union worked out a deal that gave them rehearsal fees every time they were used in reruns, which is why they cut them out of the repackaged versions that were sold for reruns. It also marked the end (for the most part) of variety shows that did big dance numbers. I don't remember what they were called, but on the old Jackie Gleason show, they had the June Taylor Dancers.

The best part of the Mac Davis show is when he would take a phrase or subject from the audience and make up a song right there on the spot.
February 28, 20196 yr The Bob Newhart show is so incredibly underrated, really consistently funny and has a unique vibe of its own. I was recently delighted to see that a channel I didn't even know I had until a couple of weeks ago, FETV, is showing blocks of it regularly.
February 28, 20196 yr Man a lot of these bring back great memories. Columbo - my favorite. Welcome Back Kotter Chico and the Man WKRP in Cincinnati Bob Newhart Mary Tyler Moore Hee Haw Carol Burnet All in the Family Odd Couple Love American Style Love Boat And of course the mini series: Rich Man Poor Man Shogun Roots My favorite Christmas movie, The Gathering Edited February 28, 20196 yr by Brandywine

February 28, 20196 yr Saturday night was must see TV for me as a kid. The Carol Burnett Show, followed by All in the Family, then The Mary Tyler Moore Show followed by The Bob Newhart Show ending with Mannix.
February 28, 20196 yr poor ole Donny Osmond.. he was on Howard Stern years ago and said he never got a blow job in his life.

If not, then y'all are slackin'. thanks for that...always watched that with my dad, who was an Army Air Corps WWII vet (I know this was about a Marine unit but he loved the show) Edited February 28, 20196 yr by Dennis Taylor
February 28, 20196 yr Forget the golden age of rock music, Don's charisma as a presenter alone made this show a classic.
