Show is just too much trying to get success off of Saturnday Night Fever....if it had a different story line, maybe a different area instead of New Jersery(and New York), and more Disco music..it would have been much better. I was really let down by this show. I don't like shows that try to earn a buck off of a trend, that is not represented correctly.
I was 7….then when i was 9 and my brother was 10 we saw American Werewolf in London in the theatre in TX. Mom bought tickets and watched something else.
I found Greg Antonacci through Rockford Files, and Loved him all the way! Makes me mad he wasn't more known! He played great Bunglers, AND criminals! The guy was Awesome 70s, plus was in a few Mob things more recently. James Garner brought the world some great people.
I loved this show when I was 12 years old. The show debuted in early 1979, when Disco's popularity was already waning again. Around the time the show started Paramount tried to squeeze more blood from a stone by re-releasing "Saturday Night Fever" with a PG rating. They used clean footage that was shot because the director John Badham was afraid that the movie would never be aired on tv because of the language and the infamous rape scene. All 3 networks jumped on the bandwagon with NBC airing "Joe And Valerie", ABC with "Makin' It" (the theme song, sung by the show's star David Naughton, got lots of radio play and sold lots of records) and CBS aired "Brooklyn Fever" starring Joseph Cali, who played Joey in "Saturday Night Fever". "Makin' It" was my favorite because I wanted to become an actor because of Greg Antonacci. Oddly enough I wasn't a fan of The Sopranos or Boardwalk Empire so I didn't know that he was on those shows until much later. He also died way too young.
There was also a very violent fight scene with a rival gang, I recall when the movie first got released it was rated R but he changed it so more people would want to see it
I loved Greg too. His 2 Rockford Files' episodes were wonderful, AND very different from each other. He's a total jerk in the first, then basically does comedy in his 2nd, towards the end of the Rockford series. I still can't believe he died. I miss the 70s most of all.
Just a while ago I got such DVDs of such rare classics like: The Immortal (1970-1971) The Young Lawyers (1970-1971) The Magician (1973-1974) Petrocelli (1974-1976) Angie (1979-1980) Best of the West (1981-1982)
I LOVE everyone's Jersey accents (writing from Jersey)! The brother, Tony, is a great actor in my opinion. I'm shocked by how inept the father is, I thought the Simpsons was revolutionary in that but he's worse than Homer in a lot of ways! This was a really interesting watch! But...for a disco show, I'm surprised this has no black people so far, and a joke where they're afraid to be seen as LGBT - weren't both those communities integral to disco culture?! Anyway, so cool! Thank you for posting!
I was 5 when this show aired. The only thing I really remember about it was the theme song and the ice cream store. I'm honestly surprised someone actually recorded it. ABC canceled it so fast, I didn't think ANYONE watched it.
The thing about shows with short runs is that it would help first if they can brand a special "Short Run Special" block that highlights these rare shows since unlike music and movies which are not too tough to find unless if they are by some small independent studio, many TV classics still are yet to be discovered.
you usually see stuff like this in occasional film festivials..but Cartoon Network did a compilation series called "Look What We Found" for obscure/very short run toon series..TV land could do a version of that Compilation series
@@Filmation77 Then CN did the same for many of the obscure '70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons, but around a larger block called '70s Super Explosion that ran for four hours every Wednesday night from 1995-96.
Bet I saw most of these episodes when I was 13,at the expense of whatever else was on.Now I can press a few buttons and watch it on a hand-held tv.I've made it to the future.
I hear ya! Now my smart phone can play this on youtube anytime, anywhere. Back in high school 1970's you had 4 channels and you had to watch it when it aired.
GOOD MORNING !!!! oh my i recall watching this, i was in 6th grade living on the beach while my parents were divorcing. NO one had money. my sperm donor tried to burn down the house i grew up in , THANK YOU !!
8:50 Even if there was no logo after the closing credits, you can tell it's produced by Paramount. Classic sitcom technique-the way one scene switches to the next, a la _The Brady Bunch._
Gary Prendergast was the dynamic superstar of this series. I wish the stories focused more on him and his life. He could have possibly been involved in some disco spy espionage or maybe an art museum heist/murder of some kind.
“Oh, what am I talking about? It wasn’t a pillow, it was a wall safe!” 13:00 Okay, that was genuinely hilarious So was “Hey, you know what? If we eat this, WE’LL DIE.” 24:00
I wish they’d do both a physical and digital release of the series but it probably won’t ever happen. There were only 9 episodes produced, so it would depend on if the other 8 have survived and how much music clearance we’d be talking about. I’d love to be wrong, if they ever do somehow defy the 1 in a million chance and it gets released I’ll definitely buy it!
General Foods International Coffees!! They kept that same tin for decades, possibly even to this day? I haven’t bought it in years, but those tins were my everything back as a kid
This episode was aired on March 23rd, 1979 and it was the final episode of the series after 6 weeks since it first aired. back on February 1st, 1979. "Makin' It" was doomed from the get go. I was a wee one when I never heard of this show. Disco was on its last gasp until July 12th, 1979, a rock DJ from Chicago named Steve Dahl from WLUP did an historical event called "Disco Demolition Night" at Komisky Park where they blew up a bunch of disco records, and ended up in a frenzy where they forced the game to be cancelled where the Chicago White Sox was about to play against the Detroit Tigers where they ended in a riot on the field. That brought disco to a complete halt. Music has changed significantly, and New Wave was started to come in, and hip-hop was started to become mainstream. Thanks to Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" which was their very first rap song ever made. If you have not seen it, here it is on that fateful night. ua-cam.com/video/fAJfOcnYYEQ/v-deo.html
This aired March 2, 1979 and it wasn't the final episode of the series, produced or aired. The show didn't even "make it" to March 23, 1979 before it got pulled. As for the rest of that... disco was popular until the next John Travolta musical came out in 1980, and then it was on to the next thing. The show itself was popular for one week until it wound up opposite the noxious "Diff'rent Strokes," which ground it into sparkly disco dust.
Also, many disco artists like KC & The Sunshine Band, Village People and the Bee Gees were suffering in the 80's where their songs started from moderate hits to just plain mediocre duds that America hated and were only slightly more popular in the UK and Australia.
The credits say "based on a story by Nik Cohn." That story was "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night," a New York magazine article which inspired the making of "Saturday Night Fever" and, to a lesser extent, this series.
Sadly, shows that less fewer than two seasons (especially sitcoms) don't get greenlighted, though Amazon Prime and other streaming services seem to dump off these short-lived series a bit more often, so there is some hope, but of course, not being rerun since being first aired is another strike against it.
Too bad, this series lasted 6 episodes, and this was basically the last episode of the ill-fated sitcom. "Makin' It" went off to a miserable start. I was still a wee one when I never heard of this show. I was in then little crib when I heard of it, I didn't watched it back then during my early stages.
Mrtv1017, well.... YEAH. That was the whole idea. The producers were trying to cash in on the SNF craze. They even got a Travolta (John’s mother Ellen) to be in the cast to help sell the package.
@@homelesshannah50 She is now! (81). She is 13 years older than her $camentology bro, but I thought she looked a lot older than him, so I mistakenly thought she was his ‘ma’.
I was eleven when this show came out. Even though disco was already dying, I enjoyed the show. Especially Tony's dance scenes. Are there any more episodes available on YT?
This actually isn’t a very bad show, but I think part of the mistake was labeling it as a sitcom. It has some extra moments of drama and the script is constantly humorous enough you forget there’s an audience laugh track.
At this exact time Earth Wind and Fire, Van Halen, James Brown, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Elton John, ELO, Grateful Dead, and others, were Exploding with hit music!
This was GREAT for music for all the acts you mentioned and many more, but also ironically, that turning point marked the death of disco and was the nail in the coffin for the show. Had the show aired a few years prior, it would have been much more successful.
I have a question that nobody has to answer and a comment… First, HOW and WHERE the hell did whoever find this find it!? There were only 9 episodes of this show produced before it got cancelled! It didn’t even get a half season order! It’s an incredibly rare show to come by! While I wish the other 8 episodes were floating around somewhere, I’m extremely grateful even just one episode has survived the little over 40 years now since it aired. You know, this was way better than I thought it would be. Like the first comment said I’d rather watch this than any of the crap on TV now. TV overall isn’t even a pale shadow of what it was during its glory 80’s and 90’s days that’s for damn sure. If they made a fun little show like this now I’d watch it. Another comment saying it’s Happy Days in the 70’s is dead on, that’s exactly what it was. If this one episode was anything to go by the show deserved to do better. Had it come along a few years earlier I think it’d have definitely gotten at least a full season, probably a second. It was produced by Miller-Milkis Productions, the same Miller that went on to produce a lot of the later TGIF hits with Boyett a decade later. I love the theme song for the show too, it’s a good song that I’m shocked speechless got to number 5 on the Billboard charts but I’m truly happy at least the song was very successful!
It did get a half-season order. They made 13. The pilot was thrown out. ABC yanked it mid-run. Wouldn't even show the last 4 episodes after the theme song became a monster hit. (Tony Thomopoulos couldn't have cared less about anything ABC had. The network was, after all, his own personal dating service, nothing more.) I didn't think it was a bad show, but ABC was dead on Fridays and "Diff'rent Strokes" killed it.
Thank you for uploading....I remember this show. It fell because the DISCO fad fell, and ABC was right to give it the ax. If it came out right in 1977, it would have had a 2 year run at least. My Sister Sam..well that still hurts my heart to write about it now. Wasn't so much poor scheduling but the murder of Rebecca as well (I lived just a few blocks from her at the time). David Naughton had good exposure, An American Werewolf was his epic. He was a likable actor, likable in TV product commercials as well. He is STILL working, BTW, he did an appearance on American Horror Story and has a boatload of work still coming out. Great guy.
David Naughton is awesome. The rest of the show not so much. Saturday Night Fever wannabe but missed the mark. Yes, Ellen Travolta is John Travolta's sister.
A person on iOffer has this episode along with the Pilot (the 1st episode of the series), and is asking for $16 for those 2 episodes on a DVD-r if interested...📀😀🎥📼
It seems everyone had New York accents back in the 70s. If you watch Colombo the show is supposed to be in California but all the cops have New York accents 🤔
Long live the 70s! I love how at the end of the program the announcer said “What’s Happening!” is next. Another great 70s TV show.
Gary Marshall jumped on the Saturday Night Fever train, he even cast Ellen Travolta.
With an assist from Robert Stigwood.
Had this show come out in , say, 1975 or 6 I think it would've been a big hit. The disco backlash was too much to overcome by '79.
Even failed sitcoms of yesteryear are better than the popular garbage of the 2000s.
This is true. Too many liberals running Hollywood putting out liberal garbage.
I love how this show was only made because that song is SO DARN CATCHY! This episode was actually really cute. I really like it.
Classic. David Rocks!
This show is so fab. I wish we still had discos.
Show is just too much trying to get success off of Saturnday Night Fever....if it had a different story line, maybe a different area instead of New Jersery(and New York), and more Disco music..it would have been much better.

Lmfao not one made it past d list if that.
Wow i now watched it. Terrible would be a upgrade.
According to Greg Antonacci's Wiki profile, he died just four days ago, but gave no cause of death...and there's literally nothing anywhere on this.
I had no idea he was married to, albeit short lived, to Annie Potts.

If he had died after 2021 we'd all be thinking the same thing.
I came here after finding out Greg Antonacci, who played Butch De Concini in The Sopranos, was in this show.
Now in it's 25th season. Don't miss Saturday night fever 7
Travolta!!! ...oh wait....Ellen Travolta?
Can You Upload Roc-Pilot (Episode 1) Please?
please poste more episodes if you have any ? thank you
it's actually kinda funny
Yikes I'm not surprised this got canceled.
So true. Back then after the success of Saturday Night Fever, EVERYTHING was disco themed. I loved the theme song
you know Ellen does have a strong resemblance to his brother John
Thank you for posting this; it was amazing to see. Where can I watch the rest?
This is the only episode I have (and possibly others, too.)
A person on iOffer has this episode along with the Pilot (the 1st episode of the series), and is asking for $16 for those 2 episodes on a DVD-r if interested...📀😀🎥📼
denise miller was hot in the late 70s, this show and movie with Rex Smith also on Archie's Place as Bunkers niece at his bar
“TV Guide’s 40th WORST television show of all time.”
It seems everyone had New York accents back in the 70s. If you watch Colombo the show is supposed to be in California but all the cops have New York accents 🤔
I have a New York accent just from living in this era and I live in the PNW!
I’ve seen or heard of this show before...
Are there any other episodes of this available?
An American Werewolf In London
I wish I had been born ten or 15 years earlier. This came on when I was four. I didn't watch it.
I would have liked it
No more Butchie, no more of this...
do u have all 9 episodes?
Hey, do you happen to have the other episodes recorded?
Ahh. John travoltas sister. :)
