More Random TV GUIDE Ads - Bonnie and the Franklins

In the grand tradition of the Lennon Sisters, the King Family and Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters - TV's Bonnie Franklin and her family starred in this hour-long variety special. Other non-Franklin guests included KNOTS LANDING'S Michelle Lee and former football icon Joe Namath. This NEW special (FIRST TIME ON TELEVISION!) never led to any kind of a follow-up or weekly variety hour for Bonnie, forcing her to deal with life's "hard knocks" ONE DAY A TIME.

Random TV GUIDE Ad Week - Day 3

Shades of the Danny Thomas special from Monday, this time the old timer was George Burns and look at who they saddled him with...a Duke of Hazzard, a Denver Carrington and Broadway's answer to Betty Boop. Thanks NBC.
