Trivia
This show premiered in 1977 as a summer replacement show, and it was an unexpected hit. Hoping it would still be popular, CBS decided to make it a spring replacement series. When it started again in January 1978, it was up against Laverne and Shirley, the #1 show in the country. It was canceled two months later.

Before mime became a four letter word.

This show was beloved by me as a child. The best part was when they would perform as the robot couple. Variations on this were very popular when everyone was doing the Robot at discos across the country. Where are they now?
