This is right before one of my favorite weird Travolta horror movies, The Devil's Reign, which I talk about any chance I get because it's awesome.
KellyPANELIST

The John Travolta that was on, you know, Welcome Back, Carter, that was probably easy compared to the guy that did Pulp Fiction.

Troy ZantuckGUEST
Well done.
Troy ZantuckGUEST
Arnold Horschak, one of the all-time great sitcom characters.
Oscar WinbergGUEST
In practice, even that last season without Mike and Gloria is, isn't really all in the family in in a certain sense the other thing is television as a game of imitating who whoever is on top means that the 1970s the mid-1970s there's quite a wide saturation of sort of uh TV situation comedies that engage with real life.
Oscar WinbergGUEST
So you have Barney Miller, you have MASH, Mary Tyler Moore Show, the spinoffs of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, you have Welcome Back, Cotter, you have Chico and the Man and other shows within the Norman Lear, as you call it, the Norman Lear Cinematic Universe.
Oscar WinbergGUEST
So at some point, a show like Happy Days is going to seem like the new, interesting, fresh thing just because it's something different.
Oscar WinbergGUEST
And I think that is ultimately what ends up happening in the 1970s.
GinaHOST
watched have been like that
BillHOST
yeah the hidden head mistress like has one line of thank you for taking over the kids class oh right you're the only human here and it's had a lot of welcome back otter with the sweat hogs thing kind of
GinaHOST

BillHOST
Like a
BillHOST
So Vinnie Stoker is supposedly like the main cool kid in the school.
BillHOST
He's just a straight up rip off of John Travolta.
BillHOST
from Welcome Back, Cotter and the Fonz mixed together.
BillHOST
It's like the greaser apparel in a vampire.
ToddHOST
Isn't that hilarious? Yeah.
SeanHOST
Oh, and what's funny is John Sylvester White, the old man, he was the principal on Welcome Back, Cotter.
SeanHOST
Yeah.
ToddHOST
Gosh, I haven't seen that guy in forever.
KyleHOST
She was in a short-lived TV series called Mr. T and Tina.
KyleHOST
That doesn't have anything to do with Mr. T. It's actually a spinoff of Welcome Back, Cotter, where they had Pat Morita on there playing a guy, like a Japanese man named Taro.
KyleHOST
And in the spinoff, he's the father of...
KyleHOST
Who moves his business from Japan to Chicago with his two daughters and hires a nanny named Tina, who's like a, he's very conservative and she's a very liberal American woman.
