1978-79 Short-Lived TV Shows
This video is a compilation of most of the shows that were new, and (quickly) cancelled -
or not renewed - from the 1978-79 prime time TV schedule. Please note, I don't always use the TV shows intro. Some of them aren't permitted, or they aren't available (not in circulation). There were a few shows that didn't have much other than a few photos to work with.
This follows the days of the week, and the specific time slot that these shows would have fallen on. Not to mention, the shows that they were up against that were playing on the other networks.
I'd like to thank:

- David Gideon (various intros/outros)
- Bionic Disco (various commercials)
- Gen X TV Memories (various commercials)
- RwDt09 (hours of enjoyment)

- The Retro Depot (various commercials)
- robatsea2009 (various commercials)

A fun deep dive into all of the ways that Michael Douglas is connected to the CBS police crime drama series (1982-1988) - including the TV movie from 1981 - without his actually ever being on the show! #michaeldouglas #tynedaly #sharongless #cagney&lacey
Staying Alive (1983) - Rotten Tomatoes 0%, is it REALLY that bad?

In this video, I explore the reasoning behind why moviegoers and film critics hate this movie, while simultaneously giving my thoughts as to why it's not as bad as they say. Actually, I've always really liked it! Is this movie really one of the worst movies of all time? Is it really worthy of a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes? Let's take a closer look. #stayingalive #cynthiarhodes #finolahughes #f...

A look back at the film & television career of Michael Biehn. This is a random thoughts video about one of Hollywood's most underrated, and underappreciated stars.

Actors Who Starred in Film & TV Together
มุมมอง 1.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
A very short list of actors who've had a chance to play on TV as well as in a theatrical film together. It's more rare than you'd think, especially if both actors had relatively significant roles in both. If you can think of any other two actors, who aren't on the list - especially from TV and Movies that are from the '60s, '70s, and '80s - I'd love to know about it! #kate&allie #susansaintjame...
"Every known disease, including old age!" Well, thanks a million. There's only ONE "cure" for old age.
The Bold Ones was on for 4 or 5 years, and was wildly popular with a first-rate cast.
They were great shows, indeed. I was just highlighting "The Bold Ones: The Senator", even though that intro shows actors across multiple (The Bold Ones) series.
These were some of my favorite TV shows of all time. 🫠
Thank you very much for this great video. I loved that everything is very well organized and precise 😀👌 Any of these shows look more interesting than current TV! 👍 Some of these series arrived here in Chile... and we believed that they had been great hits in their own country! 🙄 Saludos!! 😊👍👍
Gracias! Many thanks!
@@robertsretrorewind5853😄🤚🤚👍 (By the way, I already subscribed)
Some nights on this schedule would have me asking “Is there anything good to watch on PBS?”
That “Sugar Time” theme song is the worst.
Waiting for Margaret Hamilton to scream: “I’ll get u my pretty..and ur little dog too!”😮
The lengthy show intros with theme song are certainly a relic. Those precious minutes are now devoted to pharmaceutical ads!
Looks like that 'Cliffhangers!' episode was an early incarnation of 'Cowboys and Aliens'! The Don Pardo narration makes it appear to be an SNL bit.
Hah! Love the 'Free Country' test audience opinions. One woman doesn't know Rob Reiner's name, and the last girl offers an honest, "Well..." 😅
So many hopeful young actors who called family and friends to say, "I got the part!!!" Only to see the show quickly canceled, their name never to appear onscreen again.
I loved his movies
Nice video! Even here in Brazil some of those shows were screened when I was 12 and 13, like Girl With Somenting Extra and Starlost.
Awesome! I think that's very cool! I always think of 'El Chavo' being very popular in Brazil (and 'Muttley' the cartoon), but I love seeing that 'The Girl with Someone Extra' also did well outside of the U.S. I actually like the show, especially Zohra Lampert. Thank you for sharing!
Wish you put in more classic commercials.
Shaft! Loved the movies, but the TV show was so watered down! R.I.P. Richard Roundtree
"Lotsa Luck", which was briefly on Antenna TV, needed lots of luck to survive on TV, but it was funny.
Dan August - wasn't a bad show
It says something that segments from that series were edited into five made for TV movies in the early 80’s after Burt Reynolds became more well known and there was more of a demand for his earlier TV work.
The Shows THEME SONG is a real dead give away for me sonetimes😂❤
My parents bought a Sony Trinitron color tv in 1974. It was just a 12 inch model for use in the kitchen, and had great color. Plus, it was 'instant on', no waiting for vacuum tubes to warm up. Very cool, ahead of its time.
Awesome Richard! Thank you for sharing!
The Big Chief Award???
I was 15 when Billy aired. My friends and I loved it. I remember fondly of Billy daydreaming about being Don Adams' booking agent and Billy's dad becoming The Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). I would love to see them again. 2 of my other favorite series that were short-lived are out on Bluray, Kolchak: The Night Stalker and Police Squad. So maybe some day.
I would like to see that series for myself! Thank you for sharing!
Loved when Dan August did the slide down the aisle into the camera.
As a high school student, Jigsaw John was one of my favorite police detective shows. Ol' Jack Warden was fun to watch solving crimes. As Detective John St. John. 🚨
Robert, are you going to be posting any more videos for short lived TV shows 1980 onwards? I enjoyed watching ones you have posted so far.
You bet! I have a bunch of videos ready to go. The only reason I haven't posted, has to do with monetization (very frustrating). I will be resuming the series shortly. I appreciate your asking! Thank you!
Hey. Hope all is well with you. Looking forward to your next video. It has been awhile.
Thank you! I have a bunch of videos that are ready to go. The delay in releasing them, has to do with my trying (and failing) to get monetized. I appreciate your words.
"We're here on ABC for just one -reason- season ..."
Jeez, I'd have watched _The Silent Force_ every week!
A bit of proto-Letterman there! Then some proto- _Hill Street Blues_ ! And proto-Data!
_Swiss Family Robinson_ must have been a US-made rework of the earlier Canadian TV series.
I used to watch that version on CTV, late Saturday mornings (reruns of course).
I recall seeing episodes of _Lifeline, Cliffhangers_ and _Flying High._
Longstreet was the first detective series that I became interested in watching as a young teen. As I remember it, Bruce Lee was a semi regular and it was a pretty good show.
Thank you for sharing Karen!
I had no idea that David Letterman and Michael Keaton were on the Mary show with Mary Tyler Moore
Most impressive research and digging up high quality choices! #subscribed
I really appreciate that David. Thank you!
Just like today, if the ratings were too low, they got yanked off the air right away.
I was 21 that year.
To bad the show Sierra was so short lived. But there's an episode of Sierra that starts John and Roy of the show Emergency! I think that it was a cross over. I've got it on my phone. But I did enjoy growing up in the 70's and wouldn't have missed it. There were a lot of things that happen in the 70's that was messed up, like the gas prices and the oil embargo, and Water gate, and I remember those.
Yes, it wasn't all great in the 1970's. Thank you for sharing Dorthy!
Dynamite was a great magazine that and Pizzazz
I was born in 1976.

The Sugar Time intro music sounded like a typical porno flick from back then.
Shows our group pitched for that year: "The Nuclear Powered School Bus", "Vigilante Pizza", "Bad News Bears In Breaking Parole", "Reverend Joe, Cocaine Dealer", "The Zodiac Neighbor", "Undercover Nun" , "Everyone's Favorite Bigot", "The Man From The Yellow Pages", there were others but none of them got past the pilot so what's the difference.
because of how the system works and still works today it was cheaper to make a new show, that might be a better show than have a mediocre show that was in the middle
In a world with no cell phones or internet, I didn’t watch much TV. I was too busy getting out of the house as much as possible. My goal was to achieve independence and control over my life. I got a stereo turntable for my 16th birthday, that was my prized possession. The other was a car, I purchased myself, after I was moved out.
Thank you for making these videos they are very entertaining
I appreciate reading this! Thank you very much!
I offten wonder how in 2024 we have never gotten most of the UnAired they must be somewhere collecting dust why dont they just upload them on TH-cam or there streaming sites and say Quality is lacking.. These old shows are more popular than anything they make for the Modern Audiance kids are looking for Quality not rejected Idoligys
I completely agree! I've been watching whatever is available of this stuff, and I'm enjoying it a whole bunch; whether it's good or bad. I wish a company would make a box set of a number of these series, packaged together. I think the market is bigger for this kind of stuff than they realize, it's just not the direction they're familiar with. If they make a box set for all of the short lived Quinn Martin series, put them together, I think it would sell well. Something like that would include 'Most Wanted', 'The Runaways', 'A Man Called Sloane', 'Banyon', 'The Manhunter', 'Caribe', 'Bert D'Angelo/Superstar', 'Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected', etc. Hey, even throw in some of his made for TV movies! I'm sure it could be done.
It is amazing TV survived with shows this awful.
Promise margarine: back when they told us trans-fats were healthy.
The little girl in Mulligan’s Stew was also Tracy on The Partridge Family.
I just can't tear myself away from these things. I turned 5 in 79, so this would likely be the first I would have remembered any, but as much fun is seeing so many familiar actors in shows I didn't know about.
That's awesome, I'm happy to read that! Thank you for watching!
I don't understand why 13 Queens Blvd was cancelled when it was doing well at 26th.
One of the main reasons, if not THE main reason, was that ABC wanted Eileen Brennan for another show that was in the works, 'A New Kind of Family' that came out the following season. That show didn't perform well (to say the least). I'm sure there are other reasons why '13 Queens Blvd' was canceled. There were casting changes early on, dropping Jerry Van Dyke (though he is credited on IMBD for being in all 9 episodes that had aired), while adding Francis Lee McCain and Karen Rushmore From the episodes that can be seen on TH-cam, I didn't mind the show.
