Regrettably, I am old enough to remember this putrid show. Not unlike the idiots at GM in those days trying to become hip by hatching the poorest excuses known to mankind for smaller cars to attract a younger audience, ABC was trying to do the same by hatching incredibly poor excuses for TV shows. In this instance, they somehow found not one, but three people who had no concept of "acting" and put them in "hip" 70s clothes and lame plots attempting to appeal to youths.
How could it miss? Well, it didn't, primarily by appealing to the lowest common denominator - the viewing public. A can't miss tactic (still used today for reality TV shows). Anyway, 5 years and 173 tedious episodes later, we were finally spared any more of this Hollywood "hipness."
Yet, 45 years later, I am still cursed with the memory of it. Worse, these incapable-of-acting "actors" sometimes appear in more modern shows. And what a surprise - they still can't act.
There is no justice.
