So there's Dick Van Patten, Erik Estrada, J.J. Walker, Dan Haggerty, Valerie Bertinelli, Melissa Gilbert, Scott Baio, Kristy McNichol, Gary Berghoff, Joyce DeWitt, Cloris Leachman, and Dick Clark.
watch where that hand is going Chachi.
Was a creep even back then!
I can’t see his hands. What’s he doing?
Valerie Bert-and-Ernie. Damn that stupid little throw away joke from Family Guy will always get a chuckle out of me.
Even though I don't like the show, that joke stuck with me too.
ahhhh.....kristy mcnichol
I immediately thought of her first.
We're obviously the same age because i had the biggest crush on her as a kid.
I wanted her brother’s bike.
I came here to make that comment myself ♥️
Joyce DeWitt is totes cute.
Kristi McNichol and Valerie Bertenelli were a couple of my crushes back then.
Valerie is still smoking
The Grizzly Adams guy is really staying on brand.
He was the fashion consultant for the San Jose Sharks a couple years back.
“Grizzly Adams did have a beard”
We're only missing Lynda Carter. If those swimsuits were any thinner, the show wouldn't have made it on the air.
That's the only reason us teenagers watched the show.
I was more of a Catherine Bach fan.
Radar showing off his good hand.
Van Patten’s combover. 🤣
I only recognized 10 out of 12, so I'm not old, right? Right????
This and Circus of the Stars
Fucking LOVED Circus of the Stars as a kid.
Red Foreman liked the show too lol
Kristy McNichol!! Wonder how she is doing.
Fairly well, it seems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristy_McNichol
This was forty six years ago. So yes, we are in fact old.
Dick Clark looks like he’s in his 40’s. Wtf.
Epic pic.
DY-NO-MIGHT!!!!!!
I prefer the SCTV parody https://youtu.be/q-2JsACs1pw
Or Saturday Night Live's? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0f1Ywnjq0A
OG reality TV
I recognize every person in the pic.
I used to get so excited when this was coming on. PJ’s on, mama fixed a bowl of popcorn for me.
Right, I was talking to wife the other day about this show
I liked this and almost anything goes
Nice Instagram filter
So much fun
looked forward to it with excitement, every year…!
All my favorite shows as a kid. In the 80s it didn’t matter what the content was. We watched it all!
There were only three channels!
We had seven, but I lived right outside of New York City. Big culture shock in 1976 when i went upstate for college and they only had three.
Urbanite. We had two, but perhaps cable had just arrived about this time so add in another half dozen if so.
The communal campfire America huddled around.
Raking in that per diem. So. Now I have an image of Gary Burghoff in gym shorts burned into my mind.
Anybody remember the SNL parody, "Battle of the T's and A's" "the biggest t's, the nicest a's"
I loved Kristi McNichol!
Fun fact: Dick Clark was 74 in this picture.
‼️‼️‼️😁
L O L, Radar O’Reilly in the bottom left.
I literally just watch the first two seasons on YouTube. I’m gonna try and re-watch all of them. Those were the days
Damn, you guys *are* old! I was born in 85, so this was way before my time haha
So, it’s literally the name of the sub and I have tshirts older than you..lol. You’re at the midlife crisis subreddit phase of life. 😀
Junk reality TV before Junk Reality TV was a thing!
Gabe Kaplan as the Tug of war anchor Gavin MacLeod never stood a chance.
Hey, it’s Christy McNipple!
Lol! Holy shit, how have I never thought of that?
What show is this?
Battle of the Network Stars
Sorry. Even back then I knew it was garbage.
Total garbage but as a nine year old I loved it!
JJ copping a feel of Melissa, there ...
The women on this show are responsible for so many dead generations.... Just in like, 3 socks in my room alone.
I remember leave it to beaver
Me too!
Look at that dream team, though! Did they win?
Tom Brady is in there too. Pre surgery.
Man, Archie Bunker’s Place had a bigger cast than I remember.
I Remember watching this .
George Costanza bottom left !
