[@radionoakmont7756]

another long lost treasure from my childhood thank you for posting this

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

RIP Conrad Janis, one of the best and most underrated TV dads. :(

[@josephcalderon906]

Well,at least he made it to ninety four!.

[@MR_MRM_]

"Vanessa 38-24-36" -- you don't see episode titles like that anymore.

[@apollozero]

I had to review this for my junior high newspaper. Lol

[@unchainedwiththecapt]

The robot is hilarious. I remember watching this show as a kid. It didn't last long if I recall.

[@Kamandi1971]

8 episodes

[@johngeoffrion4590]

This was, as it turns out, the final broadcast episode.

[@andypanda4756]

Thank you for archiving and sharing geek history.

[@googesowders2758]

Barley remember this But I do remember fighting with parents about watching it. Lol

[@yossarian6799]

Greatest show on TV for an 11-year-old kid.

[@Dana-kb5mk]

Deep back in the day here, wow!! Thanks for all the treasures, fave channel & I'm a proud subscriber 😃❤️❤️

[@simul8guy75]

It's easy to see why this series was canceled after 8 episodes. I was a senior in college when this was on the air and I don't remember even hearing about it, let alone watching it...

[@commentingcollector]

- I didn’t recognize her at first but her voice will forever be burned into my memory. and google confirmed it- that was indeed Margaret Hamilton herself in that Maxwell House commercial. Quite the Witch’s brew one might say!

[@wmbrown6]

And Conrad Janis and co-producer Bruce Johnson would go on from this to "Mork & Mindy."

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

RIP Conrad Janis :(

[@rburley204]

Some of the sound effects, is definitely sourced from Star Trek The Original Series. In reading IMDB, the show definitely has its fan base.

[@cubdukat]

It also didn't hurt that back then, you didn't have to get permission from, say, Paramount, to be able to use audio effects and music from other shows. You can thank Lucasfilm and Skywalker Sound for the serious tightening of copyright enforcement from the mid-80's forward. Thanks to them, everything's so territorial...

[@amparolopez6236]

I would love to see more obscure sitcoms :)

[@rare_grooves_shack_1983]

try SCTV & the goodies

[@peterketterer4687]

Me too

[@cityhawk]

Futurama did an episode similar to this. The Planet Express ship lost all rational, logical thought after it broke up with Bender. So, Fry and Leela had to go inside the ship’s mainframe and disassemble the controls, while Bender was busy distracting the ship. If you haven’t seen it, please do, it was a great episode.

[@davidanderson-22]

I bet Richard Conrad was happy Mork & Mindy came along when it did.

[@gigyoung1983]

Dr Evans’s voice is too perfect

[@kittygrrlhk]

Richard Kelton died shortly after doing this series.

[@ChrisJones-ij3xp]

He died in the same way as did Weird Al's parents.

[@NEPatriot]

After Police Woman left the air or was near ending, David Gerber went to produce THIS?!?! NO WONDER NBC WAS SUCH AN AWFUL NETWORK IN THE 1970'S

[@Dana-kb5mk]

They've gone on to more legendary depths of awful since. In short, Jay Leno.

[@williamcrowe2576]

So this show was thought up *before* Red Dwarf?

[@brettortiz5046]

I remember this show I used to watch this show

[@unchainedwiththecapt]

CPO Sharkey!

[@Dana-kb5mk]

Yes please!!

[@gplunk]

Don Rickles!

[@AQuestionofCharacter]

More theremin!

[@Dana-kb5mk]

Everything's better with more theremin.

[@danbrennan7348]

Brilliant acting, incredible special effects, complex script

[@Night-Mayor]

So Invincible's Mauler twins weren't the first clones fighting over which one was the original. 🤔

[@daddy2299]

I loved this as a kid. My dad would curse as he HATED it. Hmm, that may be why i liked it. We'll see...

[@Lethgar_Smith]

Monday night on Little House on the Prairie, terror strikes as wild dogs, crazed with hunger, attack the Ingalls' farm while Laura, Mary and Carrie are home alone. Michael Landon stars in Little House on the Prairie Monday night at 8, 7 central and mountain time, on NBC. Stay tuned for CPO Sharkey, next!

[@Nicksonian]

Poor Richard Benjamin. He valiantly does his best in this horrible joke.

[@PugetSoundFlyer]

Who was the hot brunette?

[@josephcalderon906]

Actress Marianne bunch.

[@mrkrinkle72]

And Dollman is there!

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Tim Thomerson playing a gender fluid character and nobody batting an eye ftw

[@presto709]

Only because it was played as a joke.

[@lazarusdarkstar3015]

Now I know where galaxy quest got it’s inspiration

[@CJODell12]

The final aired episode

[@MattZ653]

What clever use of the English language. This show had me laughing most of the time.

[@softrockrules]

Did David Gerber direct/produce every show in this era? Buck Henry also involved. Comedy...wow

[@GlennRoxWyo]

Holiday #11? What are the other 10? ROFL

[@monopolfilms]

Um... I watched this actual broadcast, how did you know? Are you following me?

[@mrkenray]

Jeez, I can't believe this is real.

[@keithmartland6463]

No sooner had the openning credits end it goes straight into adverts,

[@Musicradio77Network]

27:33 - Look like the CPT “Sunburst” logo was abruptly cut off since they did not complete the entire logo. That sucks. Later prints of this episode got plastered by the SPT “Line of Boredom” or possibly the new SPTS boring logo.

[@mr.djcooncoon8196]

AWFUL cheap show but the commercials were pretty good...Really Great to see Margaret Hamilton on a Maxwell House Commercial again....

[@gplunk]

And Barbara Hale for Amana fridges....

[@mukbangsareawesome6335]

What the actual heck??! lol

[@lonnybush5612]

This is just as bad in 2024 as it was in 1978.😳

[@lennykoss8777]

💗🌈💗🌈💗

[@RReese08]

A sitcom way ahead of its time. I'm surprised Republicans' heads haven't exploded because a 1970s TV show was "woke" before woke was woke.

[@gplunk]

Trump was just a 31 yr. old punk when this aired....

[@simul8guy75]

Only a reeetaaaahd like you would try to inject LGBTQ BS into a comment about a sitcom from 1978...

[@danbrennan7348]

This isn't woke. It's absurdly bad comedy, unrealistic, preposterous. Oh, woke

[@renecruz8973]

Awesome 70s Scifi comedy sitcom television show! That's Mindy's father from Mork & Mindy!
