      Funny thing is this jingle was blatant use of Orleans hit song "Still the one". Definitely NOT a disco tune. When they MOR a genre of pop music then you can surmise, yes a backlash will happen soon.

    As a network ABC starting to slip to the No.2 network. Still better than NBC at the time. Too bad the audience overlooked "The Associates" & "Lazarus Syndrome".

      ABC WAS thinking of bringing Lou Gossett back in a revised version of "THE LAZARUS SYNDROME" (as "MAX SINCLAIR, M.D.") the following season, but the plans fell through.

    "This fall, five new shows round out the already-impressive comedy special"... followed by four new comedy shows, because Ron Moody's "Nobody's Perfect" -- originally slated to premiere in September -- was blatantly hacked out at 6:52. (Sorry, "Detective School." Including you at the last minute would have cost them too many shekels.) And of course because ABC was just that competent, they leave a shot of Moody in the second part of this upload. Thanks for posting this; in one half hour, it admirably summed up everything that was wrong with that network in '79 and why they would soon deservedly go into the toilet. The sched they put together was horrible too, and they killed multiple hits in the process. How the hell did "The Lazarus Syndrome" even get picked up? How could they have watched that pilot and thought, "Yeah, here it is. This is the one."

    • @fromthesidelines
      @fromthesidelines Před 5 lety +1

      Ron's series (originally offered to John Cleese, who wisely declined) was originally intended to be titled "HART IN SAN FRANCISCO". Instead, the network waited until June 1980 to "burn off" the eight episodes that were produced.....as "NOBODY'S PERFECT".

    • @fromthesidelines
      @fromthesidelines Před 5 lety +1

      ABC tried to revive Lou Gossett's series as "MAX SINCLAIR, M.D." in 1980 (with a much lighter tone than the original). It never got past an unaired pilot episode.

    • @johnnyballenatl
      @johnnyballenatl Před 5 lety +2

      CBS apparently took notice, and by season’s end, they were back on top (with 60 Minutes as the #1 show).

    • @fromthesidelines
      @fromthesidelines Před 5 lety +2

      It WAS to have been titled "HART IN SAN FRANCISCO". Instead, ABC "sat" on the eight episodes already produced, until they needed something to pair "BARNEY MILLER" with on Thursdays in June 1980. Then, it was telecast as "NOBODY'S PERFECT". And quietly burned off.

    • @lonewolfattack8071
      @lonewolfattack8071 Před 4 lety +3

      ABC changed the title because they picked up "Hart to Hart" -- and, obviously, that was the better title. Interestingly, in the U.K. it got to keep "Hart" in the title. It was called "Hart of the Yard" over there. Because ITV already had a "Nobody's Perfect." Presumably, that's what it would have ended up being titled here had "Hart to Hart" not been a thing.

      What else do people need to know?
      Now, from my life experience, my childhood friends know more about corporate sports teams as opposed to scientific fact..
      Lake Mead is the cart before the horse. You need snow in the Rocky Mountains to feed Lake Meade....
