I have only ever seen one episode of this show, and I thought it was pretty poorly presented. It was just too much 70’s stuff- as though they crammed every bit of nostalga they could find into one brief opening. In the 70’s we had different styles and mannerisms, but everywhere I looked on the show was something to remind the viewer 'Hey this is the 70’s". And it wasn’t like that- houses weren’t crammed with bean bags or lava lamps or people having conversations using ‘groovy’ as every second word.
Come to think of it, I have noticed more Krispy Kreme donut boxes in more sitcoms than any other product placement I can think of. I remember an episode of “Will & Grace” that based an entire ten minute bit around a Krispy Kreme donut box:
Will sets the box on the table (prominently displaying the logo in the process) of his apartment and leaves the room…
Grace wanders through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room…
Jack walks through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room…
Karen saunters through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room…
Karen’s maid wanders through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room…
Will returns to take a donut, opens the box (prominently displaying the logo in the process), and finds none left! He turns the box upside down (prominently you-know-what), and nothing’s there.
The Theresa Saldana case happened shortly after Raging Bull came out in 1980. I’m pretty sure that term was being used then, although I couldn’t find any cite on it.
