And America gets so damn depressed.  But before that, Rob rattles off an NBC evening lineup of the year that includes "Medical Center," "Ellery Queen," and, um, "The Montefuscos."

VHM: a silly place called "Camelot."  Which looks better in Legos.

Funny, Bob played a "Holy Grail" clip in '79 this week and I thought, "that can't be the right year". And it wasn't, I guess.

BOS Zep goes Chinese with "The Won-Ton Song"

I would have given a BOS to Ellery Queen if he played a bit of that theme song, which I can still whistle to this day.  I loved that show, Jim Hutton as Ellery, David Wayne as his dad.  Should have lasted a lot more than 2 seasons.

Listening to it for the second time today, I really have to ask: How on the gods' green earth did this become a Top 10 hit?  Utterly baffling to me.

But damn if Leo Sayer didn't have the most dissimilar Top 10s of anyone this side of Blondie: this, "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," "When I Need You," and "More Than I Can Say."

Seriously? That's a damn catchy chorus/hook.  (And it was the'70s, after all.)
