ABC’s “One Big Family” Promo
Turn Up The Volume…
This gloriously cringeworthy 1980 ABC “One Big Family” promo brings together an astonishing smorgasbord of 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.
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.
Burgess Meredith bringing Oscar-caliber dignity to a network disco jingle.
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!
