I never want to hear people complain about the quality of modern TV shows
This isn't from the episode, but that Erik Estrada could certainly bust some moves on the disco dance floor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwuTf4UMiKY
And we liked it!
When I watch more modern shows like, say the Galactica reboot, I just think back to things like the original Galactica, and its hideous sequel, the Logan’s Run TV series, the Planet of the Apes TV series, Quark, and so on. All the poor plotting and such are washed away in my relief at having survived that era.
Ooh snap!!
I know😆 And we had to watch because we were the remote.
Oh, how I don't miss those days.

Jo Ann Worley, ON SKATES!
Ruth Buzzi, Tina Louise (Ginger the movie star) and Dana Plato all on skates? They couldn't land Linda Blair or the cast of "The Bad News Bears"?
Catwoman Lee Meriwether is in there a couple of times as well!
+Tina Bolderoff She's mentioned in the text.
Always loved Lee Meriwether — in anything (Star Trek, Barnaby Jones) other than Catwoman.
