Chico And The Man was on NBC weekdays from May–December 1977.

Jack Klugman returned to a weekly series, Quincy M.D., after a year absence. He was previously on The Odd Couple with Tony Randall.

Liar's Club returned to syndication after a seven–year absence.

Blansky's Beauties from Happy Days. Some people don't considered the series to be a spin off, but it does has a family tie. Nancy Blansky is Howard Cunningham's cousin; she introduced Howard to Marion as Nancy mentioned it on "the third anniversary show" episode of Happy Days on February 4, 1977. Blansky's Beauties premiered on 2/12/77. The series was set in the present day, the 1970's. Happy Days was still in the 1950's. Oddly, Pat Morita played the virtually same character from Happy Days. Also, "Nancy Remembers Laverne" as she recalled working with a clumsy Laverne DeFazio back in 1967.

Fish from Barney Miller.

Sanford & Son, the first black comedy top 10 hit, ended after a successful six year run.

Tom and John Keane were the youngest performers to host a variety series, The Keane Brothers Show. Tom was 13 and John was 12.

Shields And Yarnell was a big hit in the summer. Laverne & Shirley massacre them the following January.

Spencer's Pilots crash landed on my oldest sister's birthday. Did they make it out of alive? Hell, no! The ratings killed them all! Good riddance!

Bonnie Ebsen is Buddy Ebsen's daughter. Buddy was best known for The Beverly Hillbillies. Bonnie was on the short lived series, The Kallikaks. It was her first series and her last.
