Me too bro I cried those times are so magical and wonderful and won't care what anybody says much simpler the old black and white with the antenna ears with a little aluminum foil wrapped around them for a clearer picture
God what a great year for TV. Charlie’s angels, Starsky and Hutch, Six Million Dollar Man, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Bionic Woman, What’s happening. All great themes.
That Sunday Night Movie bumper brought back memories; the only time our family sat together in the same room without fighting was watching these movies on TV!
The Bionic Woman was a perfect compliment, and I still wonder to this day where they got such great IC chips to make those Fembots? Man, that would have made a MUCH better stereo receiver!
Growing up in the 70’s I remember these shows vividly. The theme from Baretta was the coolest. I miss those days, much simpler time, looking back I get a tear in my eye
The ABC Sunday and Friday Night Movie has a very catchy orchestra as well as a narrator that grabs a persons attention. Most of the movies they had I watched from beginning to end.
That Sunday Night Movie bumper brought back memories; the only time our family sat together in the same room without fighting was watching these movies on TV!
I never watched Family because I was 7, and it looked like it sucked and was made for old ladies. Forty-two years later, it still looks like it sucked and was made for old ladies.
What a wonderful trip down memory lane. I would like to personally thank you for all the time and hard work it took to make this videos. Your work, I'm sure, is very much appreciated by all who watch. Thanks again!
Thanks for some great memories of these shows Loved growing up in the 70's. Family time together and then watching some of your favorite shows. Sure miss those moments we spent together and Mom would make popcorn and a couple snacks for Sis and me and some of our friends.
What a line up...no wonder I watched so much T.V. as a kid. Sammie Davis Jr singing Baretta open sensational. Omg Welcome Back Kotter and What's Happening on same night. Whoever ran programming at ABC that year should be in the Hall of Fame for tv.
You can thank the late Fred Silverman for that, bro. Aside from a couple of stinkers that year ("The Brady Bunch Hour" immediately comes to mind), Silverman singlehandedly reversed ABC's misfortunes practically overnight during the 1976-77 season, thanks almost entirely to "Happy Days," "Charlie's Angels," and, of course, the groundbreaking, Emmy Award-winning miniseries "Roots."
The Welcome Back, Kotter/What's Happening!!/Barney Miller/Three's Company lineup is amazing! I own DVDs of each show (and every episode of 2 of them). This would be near the peak of all 4.
+John Smith Supposedly she didn't want to sign a long term contract, but she was will to appear in some episodes. Also she was getting work in TV movies.
Eve wanted to get away from being typecast as a Brady. At the time she was doing alot of tv and movie work, unlike her television siblings. She also thought a singing and dancing Brady family was totally ridiculous. Thus, Geri Reichel “Fake Jan” was born!
This is great. Takes me back to my childhood, especially the Sunday (Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew, Six Million Dollar Man, Sunday night movie), Tuesday (Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley), Wednesday (Bionic Woman), and Thursday (Welcome Back, Kotter, Barney Miller)night lineups. Guess the other times we were watching NBC or CBS....
1977 ! Anyone have a time machine! I'll pay any price had the best girlfriend ever! Sadly I was a idot, lost her, 40 plus years ago and I still think of her!
ABC had some great 70s hit shows back in the day like Barney Miller, Superfriends, Schoolhouse Rock, Happy Days, Welcome Back, Kotter, What’s Happening!! Laverne & Shirley, Charlie’s Angels, Starsky & Hutch, Family, Three’s Company and lots more!!!!!!
that intro to the ABC Sunday Night Movie brings back automatic great memories. All three networks played movies during the week but this intro always seemed extra exciting even if the movie that night wasn't so great.
Holy crap, I was a kid in 77 and I sure am glad I missed that Curse of the Black Widow movie. That would've gave me nightmares for years! Oh, and and if there's a nuclear war, only two things will survive: roaches and Abe Vigoda.
Didn't they try to do an Abe Vigoda series not too long ago ? Maybe it was back in late 90's early 2000's. I couldn't believe he was still alive or relavent. Could be wrong.
There was a TV movie called Trilogy of Terror, with Karen Black, that aired in the early 70s. The third story was about a possessed little doll that kept stabbing her. It was terrifying. I just knew he was waiting under my bed every night.
"Hey NANCY! Thanks for helping us solve the case -- we couldn't do it without you!! Now, go call the police while we take all the credit for capturing our criminal!!" (The reason why Pamela didn't like the scripts of Nancy Drew. She referred ALL shows that did that -- *ehem * X-Files -- as "The Nancy Drew Syndrome.")
Thank you for an amazing trip down memory lane - amazing to compare these shows with what we see today. No comparison, they don't make 'em like they used to!
my god what a line up !!!! such classic shows back then and this was just 1 network. we had 3 channels back then 1pbs station and 1 uhf station and there was way more to watch back then now we 500 channels that usually show one show on each all day long
All four series didn't last long. "BLANSKY'S BEAUTIES" was spun off from "HAPPY DAYS" ("Nancy Blansky" was a relative of "Marion Cunningham", and "Arnold" had a coffee shop in the Vegas hotel she worked at). It lasted 13 episodes.
Boy, ABC was in the catbird seat back in '77, thanks to the efforts of Fred Silverman! And the groundbreaking, Emmy Award-winning miniseries "Roots" was definitely the cherry on the top of ABC's sundae of success!
I'm glad this is still up almost 4 yrs later:))) Was my 10th grade year, I didn't discover some of these until '78, maybe because of school/homework distractions, I know I was watching Happy Days, Charlie's Angels, Laverne and Shirley, Baretta, Starsky and Hutch, Six Million Dollar Man, and I think the ones that came later were Eight is Enough, (lost Diana Hyland in March of '77?) What's Happenin' and Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew.... loved all of these, it is rejuvenating to see this:) Like a cheerful sunlight into my brain!
Him running fast looked Kool too.... On that country road with white fence.... Serious look on his face too.... I'm 54 and I still make those jumping sounds to reminisce..... Ahhhhh the 70's
🎶...dont do the crime if you can't do the time.. don't do it..🎶🎵🎶.and keep your eye on the sparrow.. Ha Ha one of the best intros. Sammy Davis Jr.. Robert Blake got lucky man..no jail time. Ha! 2). Wecome Back Kotter.
Grant Goodeve from Eight Is Enough hosted Northwest Backroads in the Seattle area for years. I used to see him at a local Starbucks. Good looking guy in real life too.
+Chris Wells No probs. Though I should forewarn you, and others, that TH-cam's copyright infringement nonsense is beginning to get out of hand, so there may be fewer of these vids if they keep blocking my efforts. This one has given me about a dozen "infringements" which I've already contested. Once contested, they let it go until some nutcase decides he wants to give you a hard time and exercise his right to block the video worldwide - all it takes is one to do it. I've had about a handful blocked worldwide out of the over 145 I've uploaded so far, but these notices I keep getting are becoming more of a pain to deal with. We'll see how long this video will stay up before it might get blocked. I'll consider myself extremely lucky if all dozen complainants leave it alone.
You have to have a good lawyer to arrange clearances when you get to this level of archival excellence, and unfortunately pepper the video with today's commercials that suck.Be diligent and wise, you aren't the first to go down this road. Compromise is the necessary evil.
If you factor the inflation rate from 1977 to 2019, The Six Million Dollar Man would now be called The Twenty Six Million Dollar Man!!! I remember most of these shows except the show Dog and Cat which was only on from March to May of 1977, with a total of only 6 episodes. If Lee Majors from The Six Million Dollar Man had married Lindsay Wagner from The Bionic Woman, they could have started a new show called Bionic Babies.
Thanks so much for presenting not just the show themes but the nights and times when they aired. It was a trip back through time for me--when I was 12 years old and a walking TV Guide magazine!
The TV Guide was my bible back then. I would keep the schedule edition of the TV guide for a few months. I could have kept it longer, but my mom would find them and got rid of them.
Nothing wrong with being a walking TV guy magazine dude I still am I still have some of those TV guys bro and I just wish it was that time all over again nothing better including the movies the clothes and the music I don't care what anybody else says it was much simpler times too
The Brady Bunch Variety Hour was one of the most confusing things I remember seeing on television. Why were the many bland stars (well, minus one) of a sitcom hosting a variety show? I remember Three's Company airing on Tuesday nights. I lived in a city with only two TV stations and they divided the ABC shows often airing them in other time slots or in the case of controversial shows (like Soap) airing them after the 11PM news.
Variety shows were busting out all over at that time. Very few had staying power but a few are memorable to those who were young then.I was astonished to see KIM BASINGER in Dog and Cat, as I've never even heard of it.There were some very noticeable spots with no audio and I suppose that either the audio quality was bad or clearance could not be obtained...a pity. Nancy Walker was a fine, fine actress and she had a large body of historic work on television.PS If you think VARIETY shows were strange in 1977, go look up Pink Lady and Jeff from the Fred Silverman fiasco era of 1980. NBC was really tripping out that year, although Alice Cooper performed Clones in a very innovative segment on that show. And thank God for Hill Street Blues in 1981, that and St. Elsewhere just about saved the NBC network.
In her memoirs, Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) revealed that during the production of the "Brady Bunch Hour", she poisoned herself with cocaine. Luckily she kicked her habit.
Year of the catch phrase: "AAAAAAYYYY!" "He-llo" (L& Squiggy)" Hi there!" Boom boom "Who? When? Where? I'm So CONFUSED!" Barbarino "Oooooo Ooooo Oooooo, Mr. kotter!" Horshack (R I P). WBK had tons of catch phrases.
Ah TV WAS SON SIMPLE THEN BACK IN 1977,Living in Denver in 1977,Broncomania was born ,Orange Crush and with their 1st ever trip to the SB. ABC Sunday night at the movies was great,along best cop show Starsky and Hutch. I was 13-years old in 1977. Thanks for the great memories of my child hood.
So was Abe Vigoda starring as Fish in both Barney Miller and Fish at the same time? Sounds like a lot of work for a guy his age. Also, as a kid I *really* missed the Lalo Schiifrin theme music from Starsky and Hutch when they changed it in the second season.
I watched many of these shows, among them “Family” and “Barney Miller”. Miller was just always well done and very funny. “Family” I watched because I wanted to see which family member was going to have the Crisis of the Week!! Mom, dad, older sister, brother, younger sister, or the puppy one of them drug home to create angst for 60 minutes. Oh, the woe created and the resolution heralded at the end. And Jo Ann Harris was a Stone Fox!!!
I wonder why Steve Austin just didn't eject. Evidently certain safety standards were not in place back in 77. (That was sarcasm by the way.) That Brady Bunch variety show made me vomit in mouth back in 77, still does today and I think the Donny and Marie show caused mild brain damage to most viewers.
1976-1977 and 1977-1978 were two of the best years of my youthful life. Grade 6 and 7 at a great school with the best teacher I ever had, Mr. Keith Dix and some of my best elementary school buddies as well as my first school crush on a girl 🥰... Tv shows here only made it better 😎
Totally teared up at the intro to Laverne and Shirley...didn't know I remembered all the lyrics.... Rest in peace, Penny Marshall!
Me too bro I cried those times are so magical and wonderful and won't care what anybody says much simpler the old black and white with the antenna ears with a little aluminum foil wrapped around them for a clearer picture
Now RIP Cindy Williams as well
And may Cindy Williams rest in peace, too.
ABC had a hell of a lineup in the 70s, that’s a lot of hit shows!
Yep, thanks to the late Fred Silverman.
Barrett had one heck of a theme song that I included in my playlist. Sammy Davis had a nice voice!✌️
God what a great year for TV. Charlie’s angels, Starsky and Hutch, Six Million Dollar Man, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Bionic Woman, What’s happening. All great themes.
This makes me want to cry. I remember these shows like yesterday. used to sit and watch like a rug rat !
Oh I definitely remember watching The curse of the Black widow when it first was on man I got it on DVD awesome
YEAH!!! The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman!!! That's what i'm talkin' about!!!
I was a total television addict all through my teens and early 20's I remember all of these in detail. Thanks RwDt09.
I still am a TV out of the only thing is I only watch the stuff from that era
Oh and the movies and the music too from that time ever
That Sunday Night Movie bumper brought back memories; the only time our family sat together in the same room without fighting was watching these movies on TV!
The Six Million Dollar Man was the coolest show on TV, to an 11 year old like me in 1976.
+paktype no doubt. I remember running around making the bionic sounds.
Russell Oriely We all did that. Great memories.
The Bionic Woman was a perfect compliment, and I still wonder to this day where they got such great IC chips to make those Fembots? Man, that would have made a MUCH better stereo receiver!
paktype that intro used to get so excited. My favorite episode was with Abner Buble
Same here, Lee Majors was the man. The 70's sure was a good time for me. Nowadays, I feel there's nothing good anywhere.
Growing up in the 70’s I remember these shows vividly. The theme from Baretta was the coolest. I miss those days, much simpler time, looking back I get a tear in my eye
Me to except I cry bro
_The ABC Sunday Night Movie intro...Wow...._
I remember most of these. I was 11 too. The one thing stands out the most was Baretta’s theme and Welcome Back Kotter’s theme songs. Classic. 😍
Absolutely love the dramatic opening of the Six Million Dollar Man. Cool theme song too.
Thanks for this, The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Theme was stuck in my head for 30 years and drove me nuts trying to remember where I first heard it.
The ABC Sunday and Friday Night Movie has a very catchy orchestra as well as a narrator that grabs a persons attention. Most of the movies they had I watched from beginning to end.
Joel Crager, announcer.
Thanks for telling me. I still feel like I'm in another dimension . Joel Crager is the best no doubt.
I do remember The ABC Movie Of The Week which aired from 1969-1975. Cutting edge films back in the day.
Ah, Barney Miller. When people talk about socially relevant comedies of the 70's, for some reason everyone always forgets this one.
not this watcher. have the entire series on DVD and quote from it more than I should admit.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Barney Miller was the only truly great show of the bunch.
My sentiments exactly, @@Nicksonian! Thanks for commenting!
Ironically, it was probably the last TV show that took place entirely in just one setting.
That Sunday Night Movie bumper brought back memories; the only time our family sat together in the same room without fighting was watching these movies on TV!
Just loved Barney Miller. TV writing at it's very best. Still get to see them on IFC channel. I still laugh just as hard.
You brought back some incredible memories with this video.Thank you so much!❤
I never watched Family because I was 7, and it looked like it sucked and was made for old ladies. Forty-two years later, it still looks like it sucked and was made for old ladies.
Barney Miller: Coolest intro theme ever. Watch it every night on Antenna TV at 8pm.
thanks so much for downloading these great memories
What a wonderful trip down memory lane. I would like to personally thank you for all the time and hard work it took to make this videos. Your work, I'm sure, is very much appreciated by all who watch. Thanks again!
My senior year of high school. Great, great memories.
Thanks for some great memories of these shows
Loved growing up in the 70's. Family time together and then watching some of your favorite shows. Sure miss those moments we spent together and Mom would make popcorn and a couple snacks for Sis and me and some of our friends.
+Mike Goble Geez, now you made me cry.
Mike Goble me too
Memories. I was born in 73. But I love these shows today only thing I watch is anything from the 60-70’s tv show. They don’t make tv like they use to!
That's all I watch bro 1950s '60s and 70s and 80s TV and music and movies too
TV was at its best in the '70s & 80s.
I love these compilations! I think 1977 is my favorite so far!
I really enjoy these, great memories. Thank you for all the effort.
Loved 1977, great shows b4 cable, no nudity or profanity…..family could actually watch tv together
Loved the Bionic Woman!!
I still enjoy Hardy Boys episodes. It's like a time machine to my youth.
Where do you watch them?
Virginia Taylor I found a few episodes right here on TH-cam.
knox2613
OK. Thanks!
What a line up...no wonder I watched so much T.V. as a kid. Sammie Davis Jr singing Baretta open sensational. Omg Welcome Back Kotter and What's Happening on same night. Whoever ran programming at ABC that year should be in the Hall of Fame for tv.
It was never done better than this man and these were the best of times

r.i.p. diana hyland :(
It was a good year for tv! I was 13 years old and loved lots of these shows!
The Welcome Back, Kotter/What's Happening!!/Barney Miller/Three's Company lineup is amazing! I own DVDs of each show (and every episode of 2 of them). This would be near the peak of all 4.
whats with the fake Jan on the Brady variety show?....wonder why Eve Plumb didn't do it...?
+John Smith Supposedly she didn't want to sign a long term contract, but she was will to appear in some episodes. Also she was getting work in TV movies.
Eve thought the idea was stupid
Boy, Eve Plumb sure dodged a bullet with "The Brady Bunch Hour"!
So did Sherwood Schwartz- that's why he had nothing to do with producing the variety show.
Eve wanted to get away from being typecast as a Brady. At the time she was doing alot of tv and movie work, unlike her television siblings. She also thought a singing and dancing Brady family was totally ridiculous. Thus, Geri Reichel “Fake Jan” was born!
This is great. Takes me back to my childhood, especially the Sunday (Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew, Six Million Dollar Man, Sunday night movie), Tuesday (Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley), Wednesday (Bionic Woman), and Thursday (Welcome Back, Kotter, Barney Miller)night lineups. Guess the other times we were watching NBC or CBS....
I really enjoy these, great memories...... Thanks!
Awesome time to be a kid, great TV shows!
Goes to show how great ABC was back in the day, the only show I didn't recognize was the medical drama.
TV Was At It's Level Best Throughout The 1970's & 1980's.
I would say "level best" in the 60s and 70s, still good in the 80s and 90s, but considerably worse since then.
Agreed!😎👍
Oh wow, Eight is Enough...the super early version when Diana Hyland was still alive. The opening music sequence was different too!
John Travolta was engaged to Diana Hyland before she died of cancer.
1977 ! Anyone have a time machine! I'll pay any price had the best girlfriend ever! Sadly I was a idot, lost her, 40 plus years ago and I still think of her!
almost every guy has this history. let it go as it is nothing more than a memory. learn from whatever and go straight forward.
ABC had some great 70s hit shows back in the day like Barney Miller, Superfriends, Schoolhouse Rock, Happy Days, Welcome Back, Kotter, What’s Happening!! Laverne & Shirley, Charlie’s Angels, Starsky & Hutch, Family, Three’s Company and lots more!!!!!!

Oh, and and if there's a nuclear war, only two things will survive: roaches and Abe Vigoda.
I was only 7 in 1977, and I am glad I missed the Brady Bunch Variety Hour! It would have given me nightmares for years!!
You know now that Abe is finally gone :( but never EVER forgotten.
Didn't they try to do an Abe Vigoda series not too long ago ? Maybe it was back in late 90's early 2000's. I couldn't believe he was still alive or relavent. Could be wrong.
There was a TV movie called Trilogy of Terror, with Karen Black, that aired in the early 70s. The third story was about a possessed little doll that kept stabbing her. It was terrifying. I just knew he was waiting under my bed every night.
I wonder why they don't show old reruns of the Hardy Boy's, Nancy Drew mysteries.
Not enough.
Back when life was simple & beautiful
That Hardy Boys I watched as a kid,what's the first image ??? The Shining Hedge Maze !!! Stanley Kubrick didn't think of that on his own :'( :'(
"Hey NANCY! Thanks for helping us solve the case -- we couldn't do it without you!! Now, go call the police while we take all the credit for capturing our criminal!!"
(The reason why Pamela didn't like the scripts of Nancy Drew. She referred ALL shows that did that -- *ehem * X-Files -- as "The Nancy Drew Syndrome.")
2:42 Better, Stronger, Polyester!
Thank you for an amazing trip down memory lane - amazing to compare these shows with what we see today. No comparison, they don't make 'em like they used to!
You're 150% right dude
t.v. was the very best back than,how I miss those times..
13:29 I keep listening to this without the picture
The good ol' days! Back when TV was entertaining.
Ah, Family! My favorite show, still! Kate, Doug, Nancy, Willie, Buddy, Jeff, little Timmy- love them.
What a collection of classic shows ...
...
...
... and the Brady Bunch Variety Hour. The Simpsons nailed that one.
That was really a good period of TV. I miss the 70's 😭
Man that was so cool! Memories!!
my god what a line up !!!! such classic shows back then and this was just 1 network. we had 3 channels back then 1pbs station and 1 uhf station and there was way more to watch back then now we 500 channels that usually show one show on each all day long
500 hundred channels and nothing really creative or entertaining, like back in the 70's or 80's
Never heard of Feather & Father, West side Medical, Blansky’s Beauties, Dog & Cat.
Dog & Cat is only notable for one thing, the debut of Kim Basinger.
All four series didn't last long. "BLANSKY'S BEAUTIES" was spun off from "HAPPY DAYS" ("Nancy Blansky" was a relative of "Marion Cunningham", and "Arnold" had a coffee shop in the Vegas hotel she worked at). It lasted 13 episodes.
Boy, ABC was in the catbird seat back in '77, thanks to the efforts of Fred Silverman! And the groundbreaking, Emmy Award-winning miniseries "Roots" was definitely the cherry on the top of ABC's sundae of success!
I'd give The Feather & Father Gang a watch.
starsky and hutch was the best acted show of that time.
Only because of Huggy Bear.
Aside from the 66 Batmobile. Was the coolest car ever on TV.
I'm glad this is still up almost 4 yrs later:))) Was my 10th grade year, I didn't discover some of these until '78, maybe because of school/homework distractions, I know I was watching Happy Days, Charlie's Angels, Laverne and Shirley, Baretta, Starsky and Hutch, Six Million Dollar Man, and I think the ones that came later were Eight is Enough, (lost Diana Hyland in March of '77?) What's Happenin' and Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew.... loved all of these, it is rejuvenating to see this:) Like a cheerful sunlight into my brain!
oddly enough I watched the same exact shows, but never cared for Barney Miller, and you are right eight is enough came later.
The Six Million Dollar Man intro is just as good now.
Using slow-mo to represent high speed was a brilliant technique to keep it from looking goofy.
Him running fast looked Kool too.... On that country road with white fence.... Serious look on his face too.... I'm 54 and I still make those jumping sounds to reminisce..... Ahhhhh the 70's
🎶...dont do the crime if you can't do the time.. don't do it..🎶🎵🎶.and keep your eye on the sparrow.. Ha Ha one of the best intros. Sammy Davis Jr.. Robert Blake got lucky man..no jail time. Ha! 2). Wecome Back Kotter.
thanks for all your vids,I really love it.It's my childhood.
I really appreciate the details at the beginning of the video that set the context. It's crazy that it was just 3 networks and local stuff back then.
Grant Goodeve from Eight Is Enough hosted Northwest Backroads in the Seattle area for years. I used to see him at a local Starbucks. Good looking guy in real life too.
Back in the 70's i did not drink coffee
Best time for TV hands down, had it all!
My childhood. All in one video
13:30 Sammy!
Got to be one of the most solid lineups in TV history.
24:36 a couple running and pointing guns. They used the split screen. Innovative.
"The Feather and Father Gang" sounds like a decent enough premise, and the cast is likable enough, but that name... yeesh! No wonder it didn't last.
And then Feather met Jonathan Hart....and the result was MURDER
What's happening was relatable to my childhood. I felt like I knew Roger, Dwayne, Rerun, Dee. It was the Midwest version of What's Happening.
I was coming back from 2 years in Japan serving my country and the first show I watched was the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew mystery. June 1977
Donny & Marie Just Seem to Never Age
Don't try to kid us: that's NOT Jan!
She’s known as “Fake Jan” today
I was going to ask, whatever became of Geri Reischl? She was cute, if nothing else.
Family, Eight is Enough, Baretta are the shows that I watched. I don't remember Feather and Father, blansky's beauties, Dog and Cat and Most Wanted.
T.V. was f****** awesome when I was 10!
I loved What’s Happening
Loved 1977 for so many reasons, and always will...thanks for the memories!

I'm almost positive there was a show/TV movie about their bionic family...or maybe that was too many tequila sunrises.

Six million dollar man❤️
Beretta’s and barney Miller’s theme are funky 😄
This was the golden era for ABC
Year of the catch phrase: "AAAAAAYYYY!" "He-llo" (L& Squiggy)" Hi there!" Boom boom "Who? When? Where? I'm So CONFUSED!" Barbarino "Oooooo Ooooo Oooooo, Mr. kotter!" Horshack (R I P). WBK had tons of catch phrases.
Its sucked eggs
Seems like 1977 was the best year of my life...
I know it was for me!
Ah TV WAS SON SIMPLE THEN BACK IN 1977,Living in Denver in 1977,Broncomania was born ,Orange Crush and with their 1st ever trip to the SB. ABC Sunday night at the movies was great,along best cop show Starsky and Hutch. I was 13-years old in 1977. Thanks for the great memories of my child hood.
I grew up in Broomfield at the same time, just north of Denver. Still live in Colorado.
Rob Lytle fumbled
Meredith Baxter Birney - I fell in love with her as a teen!
So was Abe Vigoda starring as Fish in both Barney Miller and Fish at the same time? Sounds like a lot of work for a guy his age.
Also, as a kid I *really* missed the Lalo Schiifrin theme music from Starsky and Hutch when they changed it in the second season.
Thanks for posting this along with the schedule! : )
I watched many of these shows, among them “Family” and “Barney Miller”. Miller was just always well done and very funny. “Family” I watched because I wanted to see which family member was going to have the Crisis of the Week!! Mom, dad, older sister, brother, younger sister, or the puppy one of them drug home to create angst for 60 minutes. Oh, the woe created and the resolution heralded at the end. And Jo Ann Harris was a Stone Fox!!!
A lot of these 70’s shows had some funky ass theme songs.
Ya the 70s were funky
I wonder why Steve Austin just didn't eject. Evidently certain safety standards were not in place back in 77. (That was sarcasm by the way.) That Brady Bunch variety show made me vomit in mouth back in 77, still does today and I think the Donny and Marie show caused mild brain damage to most viewers.
With a few exceptions, a good season with many classics. I remember watching a lot of these as a kid.
brady bunch variety hour lol no . trying to live off the fame of the show and yea that didn't work
1976-1977 and 1977-1978 were two of the best years of my youthful life. Grade 6 and 7 at a great school with the best teacher I ever had, Mr. Keith Dix and some of my best elementary school buddies as well as my first school crush on a girl 🥰... Tv shows here only made it better 😎
We are the same age. Those were fantastic years!
