This 9 -1/2 minute ABC promo from 1978 came up on my YouTube feed Highlighting (among others): The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Taxi, Happy Days, Three's Company, Laverne & Shirley, Starsky & Hutch, Welcome Back Kotter, What's Happening, Eight is Enough, and Mork is Mindy.

The last promo is for Battlestar Galactica's debut which ABC refers to as "The most incredible television event ever."

But even that pales in comparison to see your favorite network starts together singing "We're the One" at the end of this thing. Lorne Green, Ricardo Montalban, Isaac from Love Boat and others just rocking out.

I vaguely remember Love Boat as a kid. My wife and I tried watching an episode while we were sick. Man, it is terrible. So bad.

Watching Howard Cosell ogle the Three's Company ladies wearing their bathing suits during Battle of the Network Stars was peak late 70's TV.

That's a stacked lineup. Give me a station running that lineup and I'd be tuned in every night.

Based on the show names I think Texas banned those types of sites last year.
