oh great, you just took me to my childhood, watching barbarino on tv, crushing on him (he was cute then and he still is, altho wild hogs is a long way from welcome back kotter, it is extremely funny lol) and I loved Captain and Tennille. muskrat love… hahaha I am guessing as a kid I didnt listen to words much but now it seems a bit silly since they are singing about muskrats , but I loved them just the same (or um I heart them too LOL, but love john much more )
I also watched all the variety shows, I even remember the jackson 5 one and their cartoon (now im showing my age LOL)

Congratulations on getting your house in order Shelley – that’s a huge accomplishment. Hope the selling goes smoothly for you.

That video slays me! Good God did people really dress like that? Egads! I don’t remember this show but I definitely was hip to Donny & Marie & of course the Muppets. Oh and Barbara Mandrell too.

Whew, okay, thanks, Shelley. Personally, I think you smell just fine, halibut or no.

And yes, my husband is pretty darn cute. Well, if you go for the tall, dark and boyishly handsome type with enormous blue eyes, I mean.

My husband had John Travolta’s hairdo here in his senior picture in his yearbook! Which is pretty hysterical for me to see, as I have never seen the man besides in photos without a mustache or with hair longer than his ears. He might have had the same sweater and shirt on too.

Cool, someone else watched Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters. Yes, I was country when country wasn’t cool and I think Ms. Mandrell is a very talented artist. Here’s an example with one of my favorite Willie Nelson songs.

Oh, and I heart the Captain and Tennille too.

John Travolta – I never thought he was sexy back then. Maybe because where I grew up most of the guys acted like Vinny Barbarino, only sadly it wasn’t an act. Must have been something in the water in NJ (no offense to any other Jersey residents – I grew up there too).

Mos…I”ll admit it. That hat…you just can’t beat a man in a captain’s hat…and wearing a sweater. He looks like an Old Spice commercial.

Dr. Bob…the set is beyond comprehension. How in the world did we not realize this back in the day?

I used to watch this show religiously when I was a kid. As well as the Donnie and Marie Show, the Mandrell Show, the Muppet Show, Sonny and Cher, Dolly Parton…if it was a variety show…I was THERE, baby!
