There was a period of time earlier this year that I had that CBS Tuesday Night Movie theme stuck in my head. Now it’s going to be back for a while. Thanks.
I watched so much Jefferson’s that year. At my grandparents house, their local station showed reruns in late afternoon/early evening along with Soap and Benson. Was my favorite block of tv after school.
0:06- Little 10 year old me would've been in my grandma's bedroom watching Moonlighting because to me, Bruce Willis was, and always will be the man. My grandma on the other hand was probably in the front room watching Riptide because I remember seeing some of this show when I was a kid. Along with that, I was also watching a lot of Remington Steele because of Pierce Brosnan along with the CBS Tuesday Night Movies if there were any good movies on that night. As for A-Team, I only remember watching it on syndication on late Saturday afternoons right after Kung Fu. I didn't care much for the show, but boy did my grandma LOVE it. As for The Jeffersons, again, I only remember watching it on syndication. If I did see it at all on prime time television, it was probably in the early 80's, and not very much of it. A
I was almost two when these shows came out. Anytime I start to feel old I should watch these videos and remember that if I've seen half of these they were on Nick at Nite or some random network at 3pm on a weekend.

Ah, yes. McGruder & Loud. The show about two married cops who had to hide their marriage for.... *Reasons*. I think I caught maybe one episode before I gave up on it and went back to Remington Steele.
By "reasons " my memory says it was against department regs for them to be a team. An Aaron Spelling joint. Tried to watch an episode back in the day. A slog.
@@brianthomas2434 The pilot epsiode was even shown immediately after Super Bowl XIX, but was still cancelled three months later. (Johnny Carson dubbed it "Frequent and Loud"!)
Great video as usual, brother. BTW the intro clip for *The Jeffersons* must be from the recently remastered and enhanced DVD/Blu-ray/VOD release, judging by the impressive audio and video quality shown in it. #WhaddaYaKnow A pre-007 Pierce Brosnan in his television debut. Just amazing. Not to mention an apparent adaptation of certain British cop show from that same era. #PleaseConfirm
wow that NBC schedule brings back memories. Somehow I was able to watch both Riptide and Moonlighting. I don't remember doing a ton of taping either. Thinking I caught one more on reruns. But just some amazing TV. And so many people forget what a cultural landmark The Jeffersons was. They should make all these 20 something activists running around watch it and learn something.
wiki cites Riptide running from January 84 to April 86 for 3 seasons/ 58 Episodes... and Moonlighting having Started March of 85 to May of 89 5 seasons/66 Episodes so it's possible you watched Early Riptide and then split the difference on the overlapping season once moonlighting debuted; with both averaging less than 20 episodes a season (moonlighting closer to 13) I imagine there were few weeks when both had new episodes opposite one another
It's painfully obvious NBC was kicking ass throughout that spring, especially with "The A-Team" leading off the night; over on ABC, "Who's The Boss?" and "Moonlighting" weren't that far behind. Sadly, CBS axed "The Jeffersons" that summer (after eleven top-rated seasons) without even bothering to greenlight a proper series finale.
They could axe Jeffersons because by moving it to Tuesday night, the ratings went down and now they could cite that as a reason to end the show, the jerks.
ahahah Memories! McGruder & Loud was just awful. The Lucie Arnaz show was a hot mess... Lots of good shows from that era but the stinkers were a new level of crap.
Other way around, I think. This was the show's last season. Though Wikipedia notes that changed time slots 15(!) times, and how unusual that was for a successful series.
"The Jeffersons" was a staple of CBS' kick-ass Sunday night lineup--alongside "60 Minutes," "Archie Bunker's Place," "One Day At A Time," "Alice," and "Trapper John, M.D."--between '79 and '82, if my memory serves me correctly. Undoubtedly one of the most successful network blocks in television history, bar none.
Absolutely! "The Jeffersons" was a longtime staple on CBS' Sunday night schedule from '79 to '82, alongside the venerable "60 Minutes"! Thanks for commenting, @@sha11235!
Occasionally... my bigger 'diversion' off this channel is "Isn't that Actor X from Show Y?" and seeing what else I know them from Or with the "New Shows of Fall 19XX" videos here, I'll realize certain actors just can't catch a break and have 5+ years in a row of one season wonders (Tammy Lauren, Mary Page Keller)

Three's Company was 'inspired' by a UK Series called "Man about the House" (39 Episodes across 6 seasons) "Man about the House" spun off "Robin's Nest" (48 Episodes across 6 Seasons) Three's Company getting 8 Seasons (and 173 episodes) even accounting for the different Production models, they would have been fools NOT to try and copy the spin off too
didn't have the numbers; but I was going to point out the same... the UK spin-off/Sequel did better than the original... as long as Ritter was willing they'd have been fools not to try... That said... this intro looks horrible; and if the idea were pitched without Three's Company's history and Pedigree you'd have been a bigger fool to approve it as such....
Actually, "Riptide" was in the middle of its second season, but it would be canceled the following year. Unfortunately, this was the final year for "The Jeffersons."
I always loved it when the Cylon walks by Dirk Bennedict. Still do.

Watching the Moonlighting intro made me realize I’ve never gotten over that show breaking my heart.
There was a period of time earlier this year that I had that CBS Tuesday Night Movie theme stuck in my head. Now it’s going to be back for a while. Thanks.
Same!

That hurt it having it on Tuesday night after seeing it in syndication in the early evening.
Wow, do not remember the Lucie Arnaz show at all. I must have been too much of an A-Team fan.
Thanks for jogging my memories.
Some of the biggest shows of the eighties were here. Another spectacular find!
The Jeffersons had the greatest tv theme of all time. Definitely for a sitcom. That song is 10/10, unforgettable.
I remember when Remington Steele was popular, people would say, "Too bad he's stuck in this crummy TV show. He would've made a great James Bond."
Imagine that.

So weird hearing the original version of the "Who's the Boss?" theme. I always loved Steve Wariner's version from later seasons.
I like the original version.
I was almost two when these shows came out. Anytime I start to feel old I should watch these videos and remember that if I've seen half of these they were on Nick at Nite or some random network at 3pm on a weekend.
That sounds awesome. I’m sure this is beautiful nostalgia for you
Wow this really took me back! Had forgotten about the Three's Company spinoff.
It’s part of the rotation on the 24/7 Three’s Company channel on PlutoTV.

8:08 Dirk Benedict: " *He* looks familiar...!"
MacGruder!
My goodness, that Three's a Crowd intro looks like a parody of 80s tv intros.
Three's a Crowd
You and me together
We're gonna weather the odds and win
Lovers they can't divide (?)
Makin' it side by side
Trouble may be around us
Standin' our ground and we won't give in
Swimmin' against the tide
Makin' it
Side by side

Love is fun
Now two makes one
We can laugh and cry
Love's a crazy ride
when we're side by side

Did you notice *two* of Frequent & Loud's cast members had handlebar mustaches?
Never really heard or watched that show
Overall best year of my entire life, although in general, the 70s blew the 80s AWAY! Nothing beats the 1970s, Nothing!

My sentiments exactly. Thanks for commenting, @@sha11235.
NBC! Definitely! Didn't much care for A TEAM but the other two shows? No Better Choice!
Oh yeah you couldn't pay me to watch the Lucie Arnez show.
i remember all these shows but never heard of macgruder and loud?????
All mike post tv show theme song except for riptide
Evolution of Michael Landon tv show theme song(1959 to 1984)
Evolution of Robert Urich tv show theme song (1973 to 2001)
Great Video 👍👍👍👍
ahahah Memories! McGruder & Loud was just awful. The Lucie Arnaz show was a hot mess... Lots of good shows from that era but the stinkers were a new level of crap.
McGruder and Loud looks like a fake, generic “show within a show” that a sitcom would have playing in the background.
Request Tv shows Replaced by others tv shows 1970-1989
I remember watching Who’s the Boss and The Jeffersons. Am I mistaken in thinking the Jeffersons moved to Sunday night?
Other way around, I think. This was the show's last season. Though Wikipedia notes that changed time slots 15(!) times, and how unusual that was for a successful series.
It shifted from Sunday to Tuesday during the spring and early summer '85 before it ended its run.
"The Jeffersons" was a staple of CBS' kick-ass Sunday night lineup--alongside "60 Minutes," "Archie Bunker's Place," "One Day At A Time," "Alice," and "Trapper John, M.D."--between '79 and '82, if my memory serves me correctly. Undoubtedly one of the most successful network blocks in television history, bar none.
Jeffersons moved to Sunday nights in the fall of 1979, where it thrived.

I vaguely remember 3s A Crowd lol
09:00 - why would a turbine engine 'backfire'?
Who thought Three’s A Crowd would be a good idea? No one wanted to see Jack Tripper as a committed monogamous adult.
