DL, I need your help naming a 1970s or 1980s sitcom

Or maybe there was an actor named Jimmy.

Maybe Jimmy Baio? In my mind's eye I see his stupid, cheerful grin as part of a promotional photo for a sitcom, but i never watched it and don't know the name.

That’s not it R2 but thank you.

Perhaps it was Out of the Blue, starring Jimmy Brogan?

Or Billy, starring Steve Guttenberg?

JIIMMMMIIIEEEE!

OP youuu fuuugggger youuuu

James at 15

OP, can you remember literally anything else about it?

The Jimmy Stewart Show

more details. Don't waste people's time

Honestly, I can’t remember any more details because I never actually saw the show but just remember it being discussed on here as well as some Facebook groups.

Thank you for your help. Maybe I’ll dream about it and come up with the answer.

Billy, Don't Be A Hero'?

Johnny, Are You Queer?

Oh yeah, I remember that show, OP. It also had that one woman in it.

Riigghht! And they had that one episode where he accidentally schedules two dates for the same night, remember?

Jimmie Walker in Good Times?

Best of the West.

Oh, did it have that lady from the 40's that used to be somebody in it?

I just remember all the 70s hair looked FANTASTIC.

r20 it was all courtesy clouds and clouds of Aquanet. There's a reason why the ozone developed a hole.

Best of the West was not bad. It was actually a great show from a bunch of MTM writers and producers. It ran a full season.

Hey OP, you never did reply to this old thread once I identified the actress for you. Did you forget you asked?

OP you ignorant slut. Why not update this thread?

R24, some people sleep.

R23, I thought I was the one who wrote “I knew the eldergays would help me figure it out.” Thanks, again though!

No problem r25, hope you find the title for that short and this sitcom, too.

Was it the one with that thing?

No I think it had the other thing.

That was only in the first season, r28.

David Brenner was in a sitcom called "Snip" in 1976 that never aired. He played gay and Leslie Ann Warren was his ex-wife. It was reportedly terrible and offensive.

There are all long shots but I thought I'd mention them:

There was the infamous "Turn-On" (1969) which was a kind of "Laugh In" ripoff with TIm Conway, which was so weird and bad that stations switched to other shows in the middle of the first episode.

There was an "Animal House" ripoff called "Co-Ed Fever" in 1979 which was cancelled after one episode. Starred nobody you'd remember. No Jimmys.

"Angels 88" was a reboot of "Charlie's Angels" which was postponed to 1989 because of the writer's strike, then just abandoned, but I think some filming was completed.

The pilot for "The Dictator" with Christopher Lloyd aired in 1988 and critics liked it, but it was abandoned also because of the writer's strike.

OP is a cunt.

Did r8 get it? With Lance Kerwin's death I was just reminded of that show, only ran one season.

OP, possibly you're thinking of the short-lived 1979 sitcom called Makin' It. It starred David Naughton and aired for a whopping nine episodes.

R34 I do believe that’s it! Thank you!

This is the tv ad I remembered.

“Jimmy?”

You're welcome, R35, I don't know why but this show just came to mind when I read your post.

R36 I must have got two different shows confused in my head. I apologize. It’s very hard remembering something from 1979!

I don't remember any of the episodes but for some reason this song has stayed with me all of these years.

Yea, I liked the song a lot.....the show not so much.
