Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Me too, every week with my Nan, and a bag of sour cream and onion chips.

I liked the figure skaters (Ice Vanities--beyond stupid name, but whatever) on the Donny & Marie show. Since I used to figure skate, I was happy that D&M included them in every show. It was also fun to watch D&M get better at skating themselves, during the show's run over a few seasons.

That quiz was surprisingly difficult for moi. After getting 1 right out of the first 13, I figured it wouldn't get any better, so I exited and hung my head in shame . . .

I got 20 out of 30 and that was in the middle of my era. In all fairness, most of the ones I missed were shortly after I got married and I was (ahhh) distracted. Yea, that's it, distracted.... that's the ticket.

At that age, I had a crush on James Rockford and Alan Quartermaine from GH.
I had a type.

Heck I'm as straight as an arrow, but, I had a crush on Jim Rockford as well. All guys wanted to be him! Get your mind out of the gutter, Jennifer!

I don't remember that segment at all. I actually only remember the "I'm a little bit Country/I'm a little bit Rock and Roll" bit.
Loved Love Boat and Fantasy Island every Friday though.

D & M - 1976-1979
Love Boat - 1977-1990
Fantasy Island - 1977-1984

Nan lived with us from early 1977 to mid 1978, when I was 9 1/2 - 11.

While Googling D & M, I was surprised to see the show was created by Sid and Marty Krofft. (Canadians, BTW.)

Nothing wrong with having a crush on Jim Rockford. I'd think less of you if you hadn't.

Donnie and Marie and Barry Manilow were some of my least favorite people in the 70s.

I used to love to hear Donnie on the Howard Stern Show. Howard would really mock him, and Donnie would play along like a good sport.

When the interviews were done, Donnie came out smelling like a rose, and Howard looked like a school yard bully who had just stepped in dog doo-doo.

I don't remember that segment at all.

Here they are-- the Ice Vanities! (at the 1 minute, 48 second spot is where they start their routine)

Note to self - it's Donny with a "y", not an "ie".

Donny's shell necklace is a definite fail.

I thought I would have known a lot more in that quiz. Music was always on in our house, when I was growing up. Since I was the youngest of 4 kids, I would also hear all the music that my older siblings listened to through the years as well.

I was not a Howard Stern fan.

You don't like Howard Stern, or Barry Manilow, and you don't like Donny Osmond. Who DO you like?

 

[JenniferS]

I was not a Howard Stern fan.

I listened a little in the early 2000's, for maybe 10 minutes after I had dropped the boys off at school each day. Hubby was the bigger fan, by far.

It was his show that I was listening to, when Robin (I think) interrupted him to say that it appeared a second plane had crashed into the WTC.
I immediately switched to an all news channel.

Stern stayed on terrestrial radio for another four years, but I have no recollection of ever listening to him again after 9/11/01.

And what's up with Marie's hair?

Madonna?

 

[MinnieM123]

And what's up with Marie's hair?

Humidity? Poor thing. (Oh wait . . . they filmed that show out in Osmond Studios in Utah . . . )

 

[Lucky]

Madonna?

I liked "Desperately Seeking Susan" but was more into Rosanna Arquette than Madonna in that movie. In terms of new music around that time my favorite was U2. I never went to a Madonna concert.

Actually, it looks like there's a lighter patch on her right side near the bottom of her hair. Is it gray?

That's one of my favorite movies. More for Aidan Quinn, though.

I saw U2 during their Joshua Tree tour. Amazing show!
