ABC tried to score a "slam dunk" on November 23, 1979 by scheduling "Birth of the Beatles" as a special "ABC FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE" [8pm(et)], followed by that "PLAYBOY ROLLER DISCO AND PAJAMA PARTY" special. CBS attracted more viewers with "THE INCREDIBLE HULK", "THE DUKES OF HAZZARD" and "DALLAS" that evening.
The voiceover artist here is Ernie Anderson, right? He's the father of director Paul Thomas Anderson. Clevelanders knew Ernie Anderson as late-night host Ghoulardi. 🙂
2:54 The PSA w/ Maia Danzinger was related to an ABC Afterschool Special " The Late Great Me : Story of a Teenage Alcoholic" airing in Nov of 1979. A breast cancer survivor. She is married to television/ film producer Michael Pressman .
Thanks. I'd never seen some of these. That Playboy pajama roller disco party screams bad bad idea, especially since what men would have wanted to see would not be airing on ABC. (then again maybe it was a huge ratings success)
"Mork vs. the Necrotons" {one hour} [November 18, 1979]. ABC told Garry Marshall, "We need a *sexy* episode for the November 'sweeps'!". Not many members of the cast and production crew were impressed by Raquel's behavior on the set.
No. They were late night repeats. Part of a programming block that ran for over 6 and a half years. Which included show such shows as MANNIX and STARSKY & HUTCH.
"Aplets & Cotlets" are a fruit and nut combination of Washington apples, apricots and walnuts in a candy confection that's been made by Liberty Orchards in Washington state for over a century.
I'll give you an example of a TV GUIDE print ad promoting "HAPPY DAYS" ["Joanie Busts Out", November 13, 1979]: *"Joanie a centerfold model? Not if the Fonz can help it!"*

Ernie was *the* voice of ABC's promos from the mid-'70s through the early '80s.
A roller-disco pajama party at the Playboy mansion with the Village People! Could there be anything more 70s??
and as tame as a baby kitten.... lol Awesome
It was certainly blunted by having Richard Dawson- host of ABC's phenomenal daytime game show "FAMILY FEUD"- act as host.

It wasn't. Hugh Hefner never produced any further "Playboy" network specials after that.
Rats, not one mention of the Looooooove Boat.
MTV Previews November 1992
@ 0:36 - Raquel Welch flips Robin William’s double on a “special” episode of Mork & Mindy.
"Mork vs. the Necrotons" {one hour} [November 18, 1979]. ABC told Garry Marshall, "We need a *sexy* episode for the November 'sweeps'!". Not many members of the cast and production crew were impressed by Raquel's behavior on the set.
@@fromthesidelines They didn't hire her for her behavior.
Raquel *could* have been more friendlier with everybody, instead of being a "prima donna" during the filming of that episode.
@@fromthesidelines I know that she and Burt Reynolds didn’t get along on Fuzz or 100 Rifles. Clash of egos, probably.
Yep, that's right.
"They're looking at *me,* NOT YOU."

That's My Cut! no it was an NBC show those were reruns that were shown on ABC Late Night

"Aplets & Cotlets" are a fruit and nut combination of Washington apples, apricots and walnuts in a candy confection that's been made by Liberty Orchards in Washington state for over a century.
Rocky 3
Robin Williams movie show
No
Everything was over sexualized even back then.
The promos certainly emphasized that......
