I wonder how many people would associate Playboy with anything other than comely young women? I kid of course, but you can't really reprint short stories in a television show, and there's only so much coverage [sic] you can give to the Playmates, so what else do you do for an hour? Judging from the description, it sounds as if the emphasis is on clips from Hugh Heffner's early '60s TV show, which feature top musical talent and some very interesting guests. There are also a bunch of camp followers one might expect to see hanging around the mansion, Chevy Chase, Tony Curtis, Buck Henry, et al. And let's not even get into Battle of the Network Stars.

The Rebels, part of a number of miniseries collectively known as The Kent Family Chronicles, was a production of Operation Prime Time, which for a time positioned itself as something of an alternative television network. It provided original programming to a consortium of stations, both independent and (as in this case) affiliated, and did this successfully for a number of years. Its most long-running progeny, which continues to this day? Entertainment Tonight.

Speaking of celebrities from the late '70s and early '80s, take a look at the panelists on the morning game show. Steven Ford, Ja'net DuBois, Charlie Callas, Andrew Stevens, Foster Brooks. There are some celebrities, like Steve Allen, who remain big names for a long time. Others have, shall we say, a shorter shelf life. Or they're so specifically associated with a certain time period, we only think of them in that way regardless of whatever else they might have done later.

KPAZ is obviously a religious station, don't you think? No surprise, since its owner in 1979 was the then-fledgling Trinity Broadcast Network, which continues to own it to this day. I used to drive by TBN's studio every day on the way to work here in Irving, until we moved to another part of town a couple of months ago.
