September 1979

F R E D E R I C


In the dictionary under the phrase "Snails' Pace", 
it reads "See: Interstates, Birmingham"
Mmmmm ... Chick-Fil-A ....

This, clearly, was not one of ABC's stronger nights of programming. 
The only breakout hit above, 
as we know, is Mork & Mindy.
Dear gawd.....

(NBC was dead-last in 1979 ... and this is one reason why)




Give 'em another five years.  They'll find a way.

I never had this chicken ... 
I suppose, given the name, it was
more akin to Popeye's or Bojangle's?

Anyone who dares order their Krystals without onions will promptly be eaten by one of said critters.

TOON WARS!

CBS is "Looking Good", and "Saturday's Best" on ABC.

Don't forget the DISCO-DAZZLE on American Bandstand.  This is 1979, remember?  You don't want to be left out.  Turn off that cool and relevant rock music on K-99 and shake your booty.  Yowsah!

(Certainly I'm not the only one who thought NBC's Saturday morning schedule was, at best, lackluster -- and that the network didn't put a whole lot of effort into their lineup, much less promoting it.)
"Looking good together ... looking good, looking good ..."
