I also remember Nanny and the Professor. Wasn’t Prudence played by Haley Mills? Or was that a different show. Also, Family was quite popular when it aired and ran for 4 years. It didn’t last long enough for Buddy to come out though. ---

Oh, oh and another thing I just remembered about shows nobody remembers! I love every sit-com I saw Liza Snyder in. First in Jessie where she played Christina Applegate’s sister. and Yes, Dear where she played Jean Luisa Kelly’s sister. Yes, Dear reminds me of Boston Common where Anthony Clark played a bumpkin in college-- Liza wasn’t in Boston Common. I used to have a very large situation comedy addiction. ---

Nanny (and the Prof) was Juliet Mills. OMG, I didn’t know she was still alive; NATP was 45+ years ago! Liza Snyder rules! ---

[NatureScene](http://video.scetv.org/show/naturescene/) was on for 32 years but I’ve never met anyone else who’s ever seen it. It was 30 minutes of a naturalist and his buddy checking out the flora and fauna of whatever location they were in that week. To say it was low-key would be a major understatement, but I liked the laid back vibe. It was just nice spending a half hour with Rudy and Jim while they explored and enjoyed the natural world around them. ---

Every time this subject comes up I always have to chime in with this show. From 1975, the sit-com [_ **“Hot L Baltimore”** _](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072512/?ref_=nv_sr_1) It starred James Cromwell (The movie _“Babe”_), Richard Masur (_“One Day At A Time”_) and Conchata Ferrell (_“2 1/2 Men”_) and is primarily know for being Norman Lear’s first failure (though it was loved by the critics) They only made 13 episodes and they’ve never been rerun. I was only 14 when i saw it and I remember liking it, but you know how memories are. Love to get the chance to see it again. ---

I loved the show [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Phoenix\_(1982\_TV\_series)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phoenix_(1982_TV_series)) I never thought to search for it before. I thought I just had the bad luck to only see the same episode, but now I find out only the pilot and 4 episodes were ever broadcast. In one episode, the protagonist was in a Video Arcade and found the video game called “The Phoenix” ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > I didn’t like Family much, but I had a crush on Kristy McNichol. She’s a few years older than me. You had a crush on Kristy McNichol when the young and achingly beautiful [Meredith Baxter (Birney)](http://static1.tvbuzer.com/images/persons/sources/73/73c91098be56a04552bb9838a43eac14-22138.jpg) was in the same cast??? That’s like watching Petticoat Junction and having a crush on Kate. Anyway, I was thinking just today of a show called [All’s Fair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All%27s_Fair), with Richard Crenna and Bernadette Peters. The show actually wasn’t very good but Peters was adorable and Crenna was a solid performer. But what I really remember was the character of Peter’s roommate, who had a mega-genius IQ and no common sense at all. She was having an affair with a married Senator and would walk around singing “I’m in Love With a Wonderful Guy” – in Latin. ---

First time I saw Monty Python was in a 1974 variety show co-hosted by Barbara Feldon called “Dean Martin’s Comedy World”, (quite likely the most obscure thing DM ever did) which then got replaced by what eventually became SNL. “Mary” ('78?) - Mary Tyler Moore’s ill-advised attempt at a variety show, for lack of a better way of putting it. (Which did highlight, btw, David Letterman in a mouse outfit - in a ‘lab animals musical’ sketch - walking up to the camera, and singing.) (and, IIRC, Micheal Keaton quite spastically playing guitar in a restaurant sketch.) > [@Biggirl](#): > > Everyone remembers Battle of the Network Stars. Every other year there are rumors of a revival. Robert Conrad always struck my young self as a person I would never want to hang our with. I remember him doing the 100-dash against Gabe Kaplan (Kotter). Surrealler-than-fuck: seeing a totally in-shape, totally limbered-up Robert Conrad _somehow_ creating the illusion that he’s giving everything he’s got, but getting passed by this fat, lumbering, ugly-track-suited shlebb. Kotter won. I was requiring brain bleach after witnessing that. > [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > _The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Hour._ > > Saturday morning watching three stoner brothers and an emu-puppet. I think I was nine or ten when that was on. It obviously guided my worldview to this day. Saw them doing _Free Ride_ on the show. Didn’t realise until years later that was an Edgar Winter number, and then later I used their awesome faces to grace the cover of a demo of one of my old bands. There’s nothing like representation. Their influence was of the ages. ---
