Wow! This is a true blast from the past. I graduated in 1982 and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could to do it all over again. The only technology we had back then was what we saw in movies, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. but we were a better off society back then. The 70’s and 80’s were the best years of my life. We had the best TV shows and Specials back then and lived in the last of the best decades in America..it was the party of a life time and we lived it well. We had great shows like, Falcon Crest, Dallas, Knots Landing, Dynasty,The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, The Six Million dollar man, The Dukes of Harzard, BJ and the Bear, Air Wolf, Battle Star Galactica! Knight Rider and for the first time ever the motion pictures of, Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman, Spider Man, Close Encounters of the third kind, E.T., Poltergeist, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Aliens, (No not the ones being aloud to just walk into our country right now in 2023), Predator and many more… We also celebrated the bicentennial in the 70’s when the entire country celebrated it from Apr 1, 1975 - Jul 4, 1976. It was like the 4th of July every day. It was fantastic!.…it was such a better time to be alive in this county. We never had the problems that are here today. It was unheard of for kids being shot and men walking around dressed as women. It was the last of America and we were lucky to have experienced it.

I was wondering if you could look up this other Halloween special from the early 1980s: It was Canadian-produced as well, and the story had this Irish-Canadian teacher named Willie hosting a Halloween party for the local kids, and offered two of his students to go with him on a magical adventure to learn of the history behind the holiday. It involved time-traveling to the 19th century, where they witnessed a magic show performance by Harry Blackstone, and visited a tiny village home to some leprechauns. I cannot recall the title, something like “Magical Halloween Adventure.”

The Dracula would be Luigi in the Super Mario Bros show and I think he was a bartender in the Jeffersons as well. Awesome.

Not everything was actually good, but it's still worth preserving as a look into the past. The old VHS tapes had a habit of un-spooling in the VCR, or maybe breaking eventually.

Someone let a four-year-old write a comedy special and pumped weed smoke all over the audience and you will not convince me otherwise.

Hate to admit it but that opening musical number does look like (but does NOT sound like!) a DEATH SS video!

A memory I forgot i had. Boo!? I was 2 and the opening number scared me. Scariest part of the whole thing and it ran as the interstitial. And then Deja Vu ... was I in the room when this was on in 1980? But it didn't scare me then? Does anyone else have memories as a baby? Or is it really just me? Or atleast as a toddler?

Age is a silly thing, when young you hate commercials interrupting your show, but then 40 years later the show interrupts the nostalgic commercials you forgot that you once thought would air forever! Loved my Frogger game, but my cousin would hog it when she was around! Where was Count Chocula? It amazes me how everyone remembers the Life commercial wrong, cause most say "Mikey likes everything," but the point is he won't like it, cause he 'hates everything!'

I have a question for those who were there when this was making the rounds: Would anyone from the NYC area remember which of the stations in the Big Apple would have aired this? I'm betting maybe WNEW Channel 5? Also . . . didn't that scene with Dionne as a fortune teller with the crystal ball, seem to foreshadow her involvement with the Psychic Friends Network?

58:55 is the 1976 LBS logo which was incomplete, but it abruptly cuts right into a promo to a movie called “My Friend Flicka”. What a bummer! Here is a full completed logo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4iynqmHa958hdU
