I recognize WAY too many of these shows. That reminds me, I need to go take my back pain meds.

IDK I thought they did a good job with the dancing which isn't unexpected given that they're all actors.

Diana Cavanova up first (Soap)

That is just….I mean it’s just so…..just…..wow, so much wow.

I was there, Gandalf. 3 channels to rule them all.

TomHanks from Busom Buddies?!?
UncleRat
I knew all of them! It is fucking terrifying.
MotoCanuck
Was this for a telefundraiser?
WoodORama
Probably just a promo for their new season.
MotoCanuck
I sure hope it releases soon. :B

So if I say these phrases, you'll know what the mean instead looking at me like I'm crazy (like the kids today would): Dy-no-mite! Ayyyy (both thumbs up)! You meathead! Movin' on up, to that big ole apartment in the sky! It's the big one, Elizabeth! Higgens, I need to borrow the Ferrari. Bonus: Bicentennial Quarters

Just because it's the 70s doesn't mean everyone is on drugs. Wait...

Atomic2
Damn I literally just went googling to see if it was. Should have just scrolled down. Well now that I know, he was on a show called Bosom Buddies in 1980-82.
DisUsernameAmsDildos
That show was fucking wild. Tom paired up with Peter Scolari in a show with a premise that the rent is so damn high that the boys try to get cheaper living by cross-dressing and moving into their girlfriends female-only apartments. Hilarity ensued.
QueefSlurper6372
Barney Miller would not approve of the way Hal Linden was dancing
DrainingSideEffectsOfRestlessSleep
Absolutely not!
chittychittybangbanglovesustoo
Hal Linden was well known on Broadway before Barney Miller
QueefSlurper6372
That doesn't change the fact that Captain Miller would be none too pleased with Hal's shenanigans
JoeT85
I don't think Detective Fish could be amused either
rolliefingers
Guys guys let's not fight
QueefSlurper6372
Be quiet! All this talking is interrupting me trying to grow my hair and beard to look like Fonzie's
rolliefingers
My little brain could not accept non-canonical hair at that time. I wanted it erased from reality, I wanted fonzy to fucking well look like fonzy so that at least one goddam thing in life was stable.
rolliefingers
It was not necessary to give them cocaine. They provided their own cocaine.
ididntwannadothis
Even the kid?
rolliefingers
Who you think slingin that shit
garbuhj
What year is this from?
BarnegatLight
1980. The previous few years, their song was "Still the One", but they wanted a new song for a new decade (and I don't know if they were still #1 at that time - they might've been overtaken by CBS at that point).
GhostofCharlieKirk
Was the cocain guy from Die hard hiding?
Rodville
I remember this commercial. Yes I'm on back meds.
drhobotron
Oh, I love those kids. They've got such a great attitude!

Was even the little girl at ~10 sec in on cocaine?
sickbreakfast
I love this but most of them look like they are thinking "I should have read that fucking contract."

I’ve never seen more miserable stars all in one location at the same time!
ChrisCorona
I recognized most, but who is the brunette, first woman shown in the clip?
Trimule
Can you imagine the work required for coordinating the the rehearsals, costuming, filming, etc. of this for that many stars, each with their own schedules for work. I've seen entire movies that were less difficult to get made.
BarnegatLight
All of those shows were shot on studio lots, so it was probably just "everyone, head over to stage 3". Someone had already mapped out the big entry number, then they filmed shorts and close-ups for everything Else.
mcglirkymeow
They weren't as busy back then though. These days, there's junkets and media, and podcasts, and talk shows non-stop. They don't get much of a break.
It's why this and stuff like Circus of the Stars wouldn't happen today. Well, and lawsuits, but small details.
Not saying they didn't work for their pay back then, just that with the media explosion we live in today, their schedule is more manic crazy than it was back then.
njessup1992
That's probably why it's all tight shots, they're not all there at the same time.
PinkEater
Name all the shows: The Love Boat, Benson (or is it Soap?), Threes Company, Lavern and Shirley, Happy Days, Barney Miller, Bosom Buddies, ... what was Ted Knight in at that time?
I've missed a few but that is off the top of my head.
jzbstl
This must be S4 Soap era: I recognized Benson’s replacement and several other Soap actors.
rolliefingers
Too Close for Comfort motherfucker
PinkEater
That's why Ted is there. I completely forgot about that show. Had to look to remember the hand puppet was Cosmic Cow.
rossonerinho
tom poston and robert donner from mork and mindy.
PinkEater
I thought Mork and Mindy should have been in there. Sadly I just remember them, Johnathan, and the guy who played her dad.
VictusVonGuyver
I couldn't make it out but that was either George Burns or Burgess Meredith as the white haired man dancing with them.
glowwinghot
It was Burgess
byebuddyhopeyoufindyourdad
Also…It’s a living & The Hudson Brothers
FullMetal55
don't forget Three's company! Joyce Dewitt was there early on
PinkEater
Yup, had them in there.
PanCakesInHell
That incredible!
PinkEater
I knew I recognized that guy!
nuncamente
And those shimmering shakeballs!
DeadnCold
It would have been Benson, the little girl Missy Gold was on it with Robert Guillaume.
NOINITIATIVE
The Primarch of the Ultramarines?
PinkEater
Anfalicious
It's that the juice on the loose at the start?
EvilEmperorXurg
Robert Guillame from Soap and Benson, I believe
Anfalicious
Ah ok, res is low and I'm too young and Australian to know who soap and Benson are
