TV FLASHBACK : ABC'S ALL STAR SPECTACULAR

In the 80's the ABC network screened a one hour special every fall to herald a new season. It gathered together all the stars of it's hit TV shows on one set to preview the new and returning shows. This promo ad was for the 1986 season and as well as featuring Joan, also included on it are Linda Evans, John Forsythe, John James, Robert Wagner, Robert Urich, Connie Selleca, James Brolin, Judith Light, Marie Osmond, Ben Vereen, Bruce Willis, Cybill Shepherd, Tony Danza, Brian Keith, and others! On the show, Bruce Willis who was starring in "Moonlighting", sings his own version of "The Love Boat" theme. Ben Vereen dances to "This Joint Is Jumping", Joan vamps it up with The Captain, (Love Boat's) Gavin Macleod. Marie Osmond, Emmanuel Lewis and "The Love Boat" mermaids preform a song and dance number! Also on the show was Gary Coleman, Eli Wallach, and Emma Samms. Great to see so many stars on one show, only in the 80's!
