What was on ABC before the Love Boat/Fantasy Island?
The wife and I are wracking our brains to no avail trying to remember what was on in the 8pm slots on ABC in the late 70s early 80s before the titanic 1-2 punch of Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Anyone who grew up then remembers those two....but what came on before them? I've googled every possible kind of question and can't find any info on it...they all just talk about the two bigger shows. anyone remember?

Wikipedia has the answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976%E2...ision_schedule
Just browse though the different years to see all the shows ABC had on in the 70s.
