Back in the late ‘70s we got our Star Wars fix any way we could get it- no matter the source. So if sitting through an episode of the Donnie and Marie variety show on September 23rd, 1977 was the only way I could again see Chewbacca, the droids and stormtroopers than so be it.

🔥Hot Take🔥 Post-Shemp Larry Fine is funnier than pre-Joe Besser Larry Fine. And that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.

Saturday morning commercials from 1980.

#Svengoolie has to be @MeTV ‘s highest rated show, right? So why not give us more Svengoolie during the weekdays? Why not Svengoolie on Wednesday nights too?! Increase the channel’s overall weekly ratings numbers!
