In the 1973-74 season, their stage was much larger. With most of these top 16 being CBS, you can see what a powerhouse Fred Silverman made it! On an interview that you can see on YT, Mr. Silverman said that The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour was his favorite show on the entire network.

I watched & loved most of those shows! Thank God they changed that awful Six Million Dollar Man opening: when I finally saw a repeat of the TV movie that launched the series, it was radically different from the set-up of the series, so that's probably why. I also saw the original theatrical movie M*A*S*H on cable after watching & loving the series, because I was curious about the original. To be honest, the opening music of the TV show's never been the same since I heard the lyrics & sober melody of the original (sung mid-movie when a character was feeling suicidal, & Hawkeye & his buddy gave him a placebo sleeping pill (?) instead of poison: "Coz suicide is painless, it brings on many changes, and you can take or leave it when it comes...") The Waltons was one of those wonderful, feel-good family dramas we don't see much of, any more: one with high enough ratings that it stayed on for years, like Little House on the Prairie: with storylines that acknowledged history, & let the kids grow up! During The Waltons' run, the Great Depression gave way to World War Two, the kids went to college, went to war, got married, had kids of their own! When Will Greer, "Grampa" passed away, they wrote that into the show; as the elderly actress who played "Grandma" grew more inform, they wrote that in, & finally created a believable exit for an actress who was no longer able to perform. And even after the weekly series had ended, the producers gave us a series of TV movies that followed the next generation, & gave the actors who'd played the parents a graceful exit. I was in college by the time The Waltons existed only as these TV specials. The only one that really sticks in my memory was a Christmas movie where one of the young grandkids had wandered off into the woods & gotten lost; & the family mobilized to find him. In the woods, we heard him talking to someone. After he's located & brought home, he tells his initially skeptical elders about the nice man who'd kept him company. At some point, he sees a picture of Grampa Walton. "That's him!" the child insists, leading us & his family to realize that the patriarch, Grampa Walton, hasn't strayed far from Walton's Mountain! Interesting note: like Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons was semi biographical, inspired by the lives of real people. The story arc of John-boy Walton, the oldest son, reflected that of the creator of the show; which is why John-boy was a creative writer who went off to New York.

Cher also did a solo show that was more successful, but not as successful as the duo had been, hence why they reunited.

The series had two pilots. A TV-movie one that aired in the spring of 1973, then the second one that kicked off the series originally as a monthly 90-minute show alternating with ABC Suspense Movie on Saturday night in the fall. The original concept of the monthly version had Austin play more of a James Bond type character. The intro is from the pilot of the monthly movie version of the series, of which there were only two episodes before it graduated to weekly status at mid-season, in January 1974, and an early version of the more familiar opening was used. I tend to use rare intro finds when I come across them, just to break up the monotony of the same old familiar ones that we would tend to see everywhere else. Besides, the intro version I used reflects the more Bondian slant of the monthly version of the series, at least somewhat visually if not by that godawful cheesy song.

@John BarberWrong Again, Sanford and Son was enormously popular during most of its run, and was one of the top 10 highest-rated series on American television from its first season (1972) through the 1975-76 season.

Today, health insurance companies in the US define a six million dollar man as one to whom a hospital has provided a couple of aspirins and a small glass of tepid water.

Wpah! Wait! hold the phone...did that intro to Six Million Dollar Man actually air as the intro, or was it just a promotional spot? It was my favorite show, I had the action figures, but I don't remember that ever.

I think it can be traced back to 1972 and an episode of Love, American Style. In reality it was the original pilot for Happy Days, but the show wasn't picked up so it was used for the anthology series instead. George Lucas saw the episode and that lead him to cast Ron Howard for American Graffiti. The success of that film led ABC to reconsider the pilot and thus, Happy Days became a series.

I never noticed this before, but the woman who sits down opposite Bob Newhart on the train (5:01) could very well be the same woman who glares at Mary Tyler Moore when she throws her hat in the air (7:19).
