1978 was a big year because it was 25 years before that the TV networks began. I even received a free TV that year when I was employed at an NBC affiliate.
I’m surely reconstructing a week of 1978 tv based on old tv guides, grabbing all the shows, tv movies, news and sports events that happened, even commercials, and playing them as channels on my computer. Back to the days when you couldn’t fast forward or rewind. Fun!
I have watched this roll call several times. Love it. I seriously do not remember the CBS special that span over 7 nights. I would love to see it but it's not a available to stream.
Incredible! MTM looks fantastic I almost didn’t recognize her! You can tell done of them were thinking “ I can’t believe they are making me attend this thing” looking at you mrs Harper and mrs burnett!
William Paley's 'Tiffany Network". What a lineup of stars, and most are gone. Jack Lord looked like he would rather be in the Hawaii he so loved, rather than standing on that all-star balcony.
Hey, I have just worked this out. The roll call was positioned based on alphabetical order. They start with the stars whose surnames begin with W. So first in the roll call line is Demond Wilson (W) and ends with Steve Allen (A). Does anyone else notice that? 😮😂
Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers, Lynn Hamilton, Dick Van Dyke, John Amos, Michael Learned, Judy Norton, Eric Scott, Jon Walmsley, Kami Cotler, Mary McDonough, David Harper, and several others from this roll call are still alive.
I've met or had encounters with a few of these celebrities in my life.. I was on an episode of Valerie Harper's 80s sitcom "Valerie", in fact it was the last episode before the big scandal where they fired her from her own show!! She sued Lorimar Telepictures and won a $10 milion dollar settlement! The studio cut out Valerie's scenes and re-shot them with Sandy Duncan, but fortunately for me my Classroom Scenes with Jason Bateman survived!! Seems to me they did her wrong..
There a few remaining left including Vicki Lawrence, Sally Strothers, Rob Reiner. It would be awesome to see them something similar for 100 anniversary
I would love to be a fly on the wall. You can so tell who wanted to be there and not. Not to be crass but my God....Lesley Stahl, Bonnie Franklin, Julie Kavner, Valerie Harper, Judy Norton-Taylor, Sandy Duncan, MTM, Adrienne Barbeau are smokin'.
Wish I'd been there too. My favorite network by far. Sad Jack Benny couldn't be there. He & Lucy were the lynchpins & they were cancelled, JB very harshly. "Smiling Cobra" Aubrey (after 5 yrs) told him "You're though, old man!" He hated Benny. My God, what kind of man hates Jack Benny? Not Paley's idea.
I've read that Valerie Harper and David Groh remained close friends after Groh was dropped from "Rhoda". She evidently felt badly about the decision of the produces to write Groh out.
@@rowdycat Yes, but Valerie Harper should not have been right next to David Groh in strict reverse alphabetical order. Joan Hackett should have been between them.
@@MTVCOPS not in this era. Never again. Its a different world. Not just current events wise but the respectable decorum of old school showbusiness had went the way of the dodo bird around the time the big legends from the golden age: Lucy, Gleason etc, began dying off, the Seinfeld Era was the last link to the old days but even then the writing was on the wall, though you had some good written comedies and good strong dramas the 8-11 pm network scene was not the draw it was when this special was brodcast . By milleniums end the TV scene had evolved with the 500 channel universe by decades end. Tony Soprano was as much a legendary character as Archie Bunker, George Jefferson, etc. HBO became the new Must See Tv and the networks became parts of giant conglomerates. Network TV will survive but will evolve. In the post TH-cam/Netflix world the old school progeny of true visionaries like Paley, Sarnoff, Goldenson and even Murdoch and Turner will have less influence. Its just how the world works.
1) I thought the Odd Couple was ABC. Tony Randall? 2) His whole life, Charles Kuralt didn't crack! 3) My uncle was nicknamed "Lt. Kojak!" 4) I had a crush on Bonnie Franklin! Yeah, I know....!
Alan Alda wasn't on at the end or he would've been the last one seen after Steve Allen. Some of them may not have wanted to go up to the roof at CBS TV City for that last shot. Tom Smothers also wasn't on the roof at the end w/ his brother, Dick, although he'd appeared on stage before. Possibly he didn't want to be near Red Skelton, who was talking w/ Dick when the camera passed by them. Skelton had been critical of the Smothers show back in the 1960s.
Ed Sullivan had died four years earlier. Not sure about Raymond Burr. Gleason either wouldn't get off the golf course in Florida, or was still angry at CBS for cancelling his show. He reportedly demanded a fee to appear, possibly using that as an excuse for not appearing, since no one else was paid. Skelton was mad at first about being cancelled too, but seemed to have gotten over it as he appeared in the broadcast.
Who says it won't, and maybe when you oldheads get around to realizing that times change and you need to change with it. How do you think Fox exploded in popularity? They didn't do the same crap, they innovated. maybe when you run a network and it gets run into the ground by your poor programming decisions, then you'll realize.
@@Seyer40 Technically true, since there is essentially going to be a redevelopment of Television City. But the big thing is, CBS is still the main tenant at TVC, so that's one obstacle down.
The music. The stars. Just beautiful.
i bet Danny Kaye and Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore reunited Dick and Mary guest star on Danny's show in 1963
It was really like seeing the old friends! Really amazing talent!
Our TV was locked on CBS Saturday night. I remember sitting with my folks to watch Mary Tyler Moore, Cannon and Mannix. We rarely missed Red Skelton or The Waltons. And Walter Cronkite every night. What a great walk down memory lane!
Cannon and Waltons weren’t on Saturday
@@MTVCOPS Mannix wasn't either. It was on Sunday nights.
@@docadams7099 it debuted on Saturday nights in 1967
I must have watched a lot of TV when I was growing up! See all of these people is priceless!
Wow, truly the Golden Era of TV. Most are gone now, sadly.
So true, I'm looking at this in 2022 and I would say the vast majority are gone.
@@annmarie7488 This is back in the era where none of our celebrities ever passed away, they just went on Love Boat and Match Game.
@@fishcough1 yes, and also come out of retirement to appear on reunion shows. They weren't supposed to grow old and die!
This is hardly ever regarded as the Golden Era of TV. That would be in the late mid to late 1950s.
I would have loved to been at Television City at that time. A legend full of talent there.
Can't believe all the TV stars from the 1960's and 70's !
And back to the 40's. Their were people in this line up who were on the air then and radio to
Marvelous piece of Television History! The Producer deserved an Award! EXCELLENT!

Insane amount of talent.
But the Way that's Dick Van Dyke and Danny Kaye
Love these old videos 👍👍 Thank You for posting and sharing these great memories 🤗🤗
What a memorable lineup,so many are gone now.
I counted 35 still with us on this date 06/29/19.
This so great. I could watch this 1000 times. And Jack Lord must have been so shy and private….He looks uncomfortable even on the roll calll..
1978 was a big year because it was 25 years before that the TV networks began. I even received a free TV that year when I was employed at an NBC affiliate.
excellent and true legends in the history of television

So great to see Ellen Corby. She looked so happy to be back at CBS after her stroke.
At least 5 Academy Award winners &/or receivers, maybe more...Cicely Tyson, Martin Landau, Danny Kaye, George Burns, Art Carney...
Thank you for posting this! Brings back so many wonderful memories!
Boy I bet that audience was worn out from all that applause! 😄
Those were recorded claps.
This is very good and it’s nice to see so many people from the CBS past
But I can also see where sctv got some of their ideas from
Lots of memories watching this.... CBS in it's heyday 👍🏾
I think they had people on this show from the very beginning to 1978 .
2:06 maudieee! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
All stars , nothing but very competitive stars, a real legendary line up of truly TV land
Incredible! MTM looks fantastic I almost didn’t recognize her! You can tell done of them were thinking “ I can’t believe they are making me attend this thing” looking at you mrs Harper and mrs burnett!
Also Jack Lord at 0:52 appears to be rather perturbed to be there.
@@MontgomeryMall Danny Kaye and Buddy Ebsen don't look too thrilled either.
Also at the end of the line, John Amos (Good Times) looks rather sullen.
Ted Knight is so funny. He tilted his head so he could stay in the camera for as long as possible.😂
Omg..missing the majority of them😔😔😔😔😔
Feels good to see so many famous faces
William Paley's 'Tiffany Network". What a lineup of stars, and most are gone. Jack Lord looked like he would rather be in the Hawaii he so loved, rather than standing on that all-star balcony.
Golden days ✨💛
Hey, I have just worked this out. The roll call was positioned based on alphabetical order.
They start with the stars whose surnames begin with W. So first in the roll call line is Demond Wilson (W) and ends with Steve Allen (A). Does anyone else notice that? 😮😂
Sad to know there all gone ... truely sad.
They're not all gone.
Dick van dyke is still alive
James Evans too
Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers, Lynn Hamilton, Dick Van Dyke, John Amos, Michael Learned, Judy Norton, Eric Scott, Jon Walmsley, Kami Cotler, Mary McDonough, David Harper, and several others from this roll call are still alive.

1:18 Great shot of Marge Simpson, Captain Kangaroo, and the Superfriends voiceover guy!!!
At 1:12 - look at Ted Knight crowding out Don Knotts on one side and then Bob Keeshan on the other...just for some extra camera time. What a guy!
Maybe he was reprising Ted Baxter.
The golden age of TV I can name every one of them !! only Dick Van Dyke remains
There a few remaining left including Vicki Lawrence, Sally Strothers, Rob Reiner. It would be awesome to see them something similar for 100 anniversary
Icons of an era gone by
Eric Severeid reminds me of pics of Andrew Jackson.
I love this. Thanks for posting.

@@ericdreizen1463 At least NBC took him back to spend the rest of his life there
@@jehobden Those specials! Remember the one where he walked onstage forever? Brilliant & hilarious!
great to see Vivian vance in the line-up who died a year later (1979). Where was Gale Gordon?
It's hard to get everybody from every show ....jackie gleason not there
It's funny that Valerie Harper and David Grow were standing next to each other at the end.
She has said how awful she felt that they had to write him off the show!
I've read that Valerie Harper and David Groh remained close friends after Groh was dropped from "Rhoda". She evidently felt badly about the decision of the produces to write Groh out.
Not funny at all, they're in reverse alphabetical order.
@@rowdycat Yes, but Valerie Harper should not have been right next to David Groh in strict reverse alphabetical order. Joan Hackett should have been between them.
I saw Bob Denver, as well as Bob Newhart, and Bob Barker
2 fellow Loyola grads, Dwayne Hickman & Bob Denver!
Bob Keeshan, too.

So Cool.. Loved those shows and knew a bunch of them. Where was Fred MacMurray ? So cool to see them as I remember them from 1978.
He was in the lineup in the beginning.
@@arienfox I didn't see him or name on list like jackie gleason
@@randyposs6281 I did.
1:19 And the camera slows, ever so slightly, for the great Danny Kaye.

I counted about 7 that are still with us. I don’t know who all those kids were so hopefully they’re still around.
We are done! Time to go to Canter's!

The Tony Randall Show.
@@MTVCOPS Forgot about the Tony Randall Show.
EPIC!
Great lineup, roughly in alphabetical order. They thought that 'Cronkite" began with a 'K'?!
Julie Kavner looks thirsty...
Took me a minute to figure out they are standing in alphabetical order. And the camera is panning backward.
1:50 Sandy Duncan looks like she's in love with Gilligan!

It's Bill Bixby! (The Incredible Hulk, My Favorite Martian)
0:00 to 3:26 Where Bob Newhart
He was introduced at the beginning of the show.
I know he's scared of heights, so maybe he didn't want to go up to the roof.
You also cut off the end.
I came here for Bob Barker 2:05
72 Arlene Francis
You cut off the drum roll intro at the start of this segment.
Jack Lord and Buddy Ebsen...a bit frozen looking?
Jack Lord clearly would rather be anywhere else.
Yes . John Amos also. I think those might have been superimposed shots. They looked like statues not moving a muscle.

Ed Sullivan was dead dude
I don’t think Valerie Harper was happy to be next to David Groh.
Won't happen today the kid execs have made tv cold and sterile when will they realise feeling like a family never goes out of style!!!!
The execs now are in their mid 50s and have been making hit shows since 80s.

How do you think Fox exploded in popularity? They didn't do the same crap, they innovated. maybe when you run a network and it gets run into the ground by your poor programming decisions, then you'll realize.
They can't recreate this for the 100th in 2028, they sold Television City.
