The San Pedro Beach Bums helped me forget Mr. T and Tina.
Being a "TV person", I remember them all. Of course, having every TVGuide since May 1964 (and a whole bunch from before then) helps keep the memories alive!
The character from "Mr T and Tina" actually got its start on the second-season premiere of "Welcome Back Kotter" in Sept 1976, played by Pat Morita. The star of "Kotter" - Gabriel Kaplan - has appeared on "Hollywood Squares".
Anyone remember ABC's "Here We Go Again" from 1973? Larry Hagman starred in that - and he also appeared on "Hollywood Squares".
Aren't you glad you asked??!!
