It's a shame. I was going to link ya'll to them! A few episodes have made their way to youtube, including ones with Frank Gorshin, William Shatner and The Lennon Sisters, if you want to search for those...

I do recall (and recall hating) "Bowling for Dollars" and probably skimmed over this as a kid, thinking it was the same thing. I still reel at the people who appeared on this! I mean, Adrienne Barbeau, Roy Rogers, Bob Newhart, James Farentino, Michael Cole and on and on...<br /><br />Dave, Janet Lennon reminds me of some of the cartoon characters that used to be on back then like Daphne from "Scooby-Doo" and others... the big hair and mod clothes. Love it! <br /><br />Roberta, yes, Michael and Brenda were a couple. So cute. They'd done "Summertree" together (there's a tribute to it elsewhere on this blog.) And I do believe Kate and Edward were together then as well. She was on "The Rookies" at the time and he was making movies! Like I say, these were not has-beens showing up, they were then-hot.<br /><br />I forgot to mention that one show had Bobby & Cindy from "The Brady Bunch" versus two of the kids from "The Waltons!"

What a great post; it brings back so many memories. You mention that Michael Douglas and Brenda Vaccaro were on. That must have been when they were dating. And I think Kat Jackson and Edward Albertwere a real life couple for a time too. (I used to read those old Hollywood magazines that Rona Barrett wrote for.). <br /><br />Also doesn't Rory Calhoun look like Chris Both in that photo?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553379265410073042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-9172551379894328232015-10-21T17:00:24.002-04:002015-10-21T17:00:24.002-04:00That Janet Lennon do is a work of art.

I mean you almost have to have them to counter the hair right? But then how would you bowl?<br /><br />The tight pants on display is pretty dazzling I must say. And all that male feathered hair to go with it. What a flashback!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845967694366470260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-11483277413556696642015-10-21T15:40:05.257-04:002015-10-21T15:40:05.257-04:00Joel, I can pretty much guarantee you would have e...Joel, I can pretty much guarantee you would have enjoyed watching at least a few of these. Maybe they'll be back around. I was staggered that some people on the Decades FB page were complaining about this show! It was an invaluable way of seeing these people as themselves and was so much fun. Mind-blowing, too, to see some of them squat down between frames and light up a cig!<br /><br />Gingerguy, I was so disappointed with Chuck and JoAnn divorced. I thought they made a great couple. Her jeans on this show worried me a bit, but otherwise I liked her. The Lennon Sisters ep is one of the scant few to be found on youtube. I totally adored Janet's look from tip to toe. Kathy was a dreadful bowler, God love her. Hilarious about the Joan Kennedy comparison!!! (I always loved the way Joan looked and dressed, too!) Angie needed to win cut crystal for their Martini & Rossi on the rocks, "say yeahhh..." ha!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-75372120758920822602015-10-21T15:34:05.100-04:002015-10-21T15:34:05.100-04:00O.M.G.

The Lennon Sisters bowling! and you are absolutely right, Cathy's hair is TRAGICALLY disappointing, but Janet looks fabulous. Like Joan Kennedy in a bowling alley. I am hoping that Angie Dickinson won a microwave so she could make Burt Bacharach mini pizzas for dinner!Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-67916880270044321872015-10-21T13:34:48.188-04:002015-10-21T13:34:48.188-04:00I am so jealous and have only myself to blame.

I had noticed that this marathon was coming up on that channel about a week before it came on, and wondering what the hell it was going to be like, and then completely forgot about it until this minute and now I'm dying a little inside at having missed it! Especially with those couple of pictures of John Saxon!! at the top. Aside from the star gazing missed it sounds like it was probably worth a chuckle or two. Sadly I'm guessing that my window of opportunity has probably passed so I have to go and weep a little over a golden chance that has passed me by. <br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
