Summer Replacment Shows: S/D,C/D?

Feel like this sort of interesting topic is running aground quicker than I’d like due to the slim pickings available here. This stuff doesn’t seem too well preserved or documented.

Also finally noticed typo in thread title

Doodletown Pipers mentioned upthread is now permanently associated with this Simpsons line for me:

Doodletown Pipers wiki page mentions that they also appeared on a Carpenters summer replacement show called Make Your Own Kind of Music.

I have no real recollection of this show, especially the alphabet gimmick.

If you need more names and vague remembrances:

That was great, thanks!

Or should I say, Ken Berry WOW!

WOW!! Now that's the kind of lame-ass variety show I spent my late teenage years avoiding like the plague!

lol, I had no idea so many '70s AM gold one-hit wonders had their own attendant short-lived variety series. Thank you for this eye-opening journey.

It looks like it may have dropped in spring rather than summer, but I will nonetheless use this space continue my campaign to spread awareness of The Hanna Barbera Happy Hour, which is one of the most profound examples of coke psychosis I've ever seen on network television.
