So weird how networks thought they could develop a prime-time series based on an R-rated comedy
because... M*A*S*H?
Also "Fame" ?

Fame was a solid 5-year hit on TV, but MASH became a juggernaut.

Me too. I remember it being much funnier, and much weirder, than the Ferris Bueller movie (and, obviously, the Ferris Bueller TV show).

the 70s was a fucked up time. once i caught an episode of The Love Boat on tv and pure exploitation just two women in nighties w bits blurred out for modern broadcast.

well that was a loose (dumb) variation on Stalag 17. You might as well call the original Battlestar Galactica a Star Wars series.

The Love Boat was based on the last scene of Some Like It Hot, iirc.

Eh, the absurdity of their "We're moral voices now - stop laughing!" schtick is just taken for granted at this point.
