1978-79 Short-Lived TV Shows
This video is a compilation of most of the shows that were new, and (quickly) cancelled -
or not renewed - from the 1978-79 prime time TV schedule. Please note, I don't always use the TV shows intro. Some of them aren't permitted, or they aren't available (not in circulation). There were a few shows that didn't have much other than a few photos to work with.
This follows the days of the week, and the specific time slot that these shows would have fallen on. Not to mention, the shows that they were up against that were playing on the other networks.
I'd like to thank:
- Chuck D's All-New Classic TV Clubhouse - Free Country/Jackie & Darlene Promo
- David Gideon (various intros/outros)
- Bionic Disco (various commercials)
- Gen X TV Memories (various commercials)
- RwDt09 (hours of enjoyment)
- The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (episodes/promos/commercials)
- The Retro Depot (various commercials)
- robatsea2009 (various commercials)
- momentbymoment78 (Susan Anton clips)
- Chuck D's All-New Classic TV Clubhouse (various commercials)
I also used the song "Lobby Time" by Kevin MacLeod (royalty free music).

A very short list of actors who've had a chance to play on TV as well as in a theatrical film together.

    And it was a Western Gilligan's Island. With Gilligan as Dusty Forrest Tucker as The Wagon Master/Skipper And Jeaninne Riley as a blond Ginger and Lori Saunders as Mary Ann. But she'll always be Bobby Jo to me and Jeanine was the first Billie Jo on Petticoat Junction and the Howells and The Professor played by these three unknowns?

    Was disappointed they cancelled Aaron Spelling's Dog & Cat, not because it was a great show, but it co-starred Kim Bassinger, still an unknown at that point, but worth the watch. Looks like 45th place wasn't that terrible (out of 101 shows) but they didn't give it much of a chance. I later heard that Kim had turned down an offer to be one of the original Charlie's Angels (although she did do a non-sexy bit part in the "Angels with Chains" episode). More recently I heard instead that she had LOST OUT on getting the part to be one of the angels. Not sure what the truth is there. I do recall that Veronica Hamel turned down the Kelly role that went to Jaclyn Smith. And Kate Jackson was always cast from the beginning.

      Interesting stuff! Although I like Jaclyn Smith in that role, I'm also liking the idea of Veronica Hamel in that spot too. The pilot episode for 'Dog & Cat' is floating around on the web, but there's someone speaking in Russian (I believe) talking over quite a bit of the dialogue. I would love to see all of the episodes. I (barely) noticed that Kim Bassinger was in an episode of 'The Gemini Man' from 1976. Not the greatest episode, but it's fun spotting people in smaller roles, before they blow up.

    I'm surprised Faraday and Company ran for only 4 episodes, because, while my memory of some of these shows is sketchy, I remember Faraday and Company quite well. Dan Dailey played a man unjustly imprisoned in 1946 for a murder he didn't commit, who finally gets out in the early 1970s after newly uncovered evidence proves his innocence. He then teams up with his detective son to solve crimes. It was basically a "fish out of water" show with Dailey's character trying to adjust to life in the 1970s (I remember one scene where he needs to make a getaway in a car and he's wondering, "Where's the clutch?")

    Based on old newspapers I went through, Future Cop premiered on Sat. March 5th, 1977 at 8pm, opposite Mary Tyler Moore/Bob Newhart and Emergency. By March 25th it had been moved to Friday opposite Bob Hope and The Way West. By April 30 it was back on Saturdays, this time at 10, opposite Carol Burnett and NBC's Saturday Night Movie. The Daily Breeze (Torrance, CA) reported on July 17 that the series had been picked up for fall, but apparently no new episodes were made. But the show continued to turn up. On August 6 it was again on Saturdays (repeats?) competing with Mary Tyler Moore/Bob Newhart.
