7O's Television


Mach 1

Recommended Posts

No one has mentioned Saturday Night Live??????  Or Monday Night Football???

And  the fact that there were really only three channels - ABC, NBC and ABC to produce all  this.

Also Fantasy Island provided a nice place for actors to land if a series was cancelled.

Have to add Columbo to make it correct. Four series and each was shown once a month

MNF has been mentioned and video clips provided.  Do try to keep up.  But no SNL as I can tell, so redemption is at hand....

Don’t forget the Gong Show.  I think Chuck Barris was probably coked out of his mind during most those shows.  His joy and celebration of Gene, Gene, the Dancing Machine still makes me chuckle to this day.  

Dude was part timing for the CIA as an assassin.. truth....... nothing but.

I'm not sure how we got to page 3 of this thread without this, but we appear to have.  And with a theme song only one spot behind Sanford and Son in my book.

Oh, and the Jeffersons, All in the Family, Diff'rent Strokes, and the Dukes of Hazzard weren't bad either.

Regarding Rockford, I remember a scene where somome asks him for directions and as Rockford points out with his arm, the guy asking for directions grabs Rockford’s watch and takes off running.  Not sure why that has stuck with me all these years, just cracks me up.

It was "Smith," which in the show was the alias for Hannibal Hayes, played by Peter Duel, which was the screen name for Peter Deuel. Headshot with a .38.

I never knew that was how he died until last night when I was looking for an ASJ video to post. Injured 2 people in a DUI and killed himself from guilt.

I didn't know that was why he did it.  The guy had a conscience and some serious guilt for sure.

List of 70s Made for TV Movies: 

https://www.superseventies.com/made-for-tv_movies.html

Unless I’m blind, didn’t see Death Be Not Proud listed, one of my favorites and still sticks with me today.  Death to Richie, Gargoyles, Born Innocent, Dont be afraid of the Dark are just a few I remember as well.  

Don't be afraid of the dark, Kim Darby and a house with little evil monsters in the walls, always whispering to her ?  That scared the shit out of me as a kid.  A remake was done not too long ago I thought.

Same. 

 

I forget sometimes that Brian’s Song was TV movie.

Any thoughts on Barney Miller? I caught a few minutes of it recently, and liked what I saw. 

It's greatness, unlike Nick's coffee.

Snakes on a plane?  Pffft.  Snakes on a sub, now that's something.

 

David Janssen did some really good TV movies. 2 of them on 2 different networks in '73.

I used to own a '74 Freightliner like the one in Hijack except mine had a Cummins 350 and a shorter frame.
