ABC’s “One Big Family” Promo
Turn Up The Volume…
This gloriously cringeworthy 1980 ABC “One Big Family” promo brings together a delightfully bizarre smorgasbordof network stars, including:
Howard and Marion Cunningham waltzing about while “The Fonz” looks like Bradley Cooper in Licorice Pizza.
Ted Knight attacking the choreography with the confidence of a man who clearly did not rehearse.
Tommy Hanks before he was Tom Hanks.
Doc and Julie off the boat while Vicki searches for a new television family.
Cathy Lee Crosby’s shoulder shimmy followed by John Davidson’s triumphant fist pump. That’s incredible!
Shirley jazz-handing while Laverne tries her best not to look irritated and embarrassed.
Joyce DeWitting like the Regal Beagle just announced last call.
Burgess Meredith bringing Oscar-caliber dignity to this footloose fiasco.
Benson looking like he just discovered this nonsense was buried in his contract.
And my personal favorite: Captain Barney Miller apparently dancing to music only he can hear.
Enjoy!
