"Pink Lady and Jeff" (1980)

What in the heck was NBC thinking when they greenlighted this odd mix? Pink Lady (Mie Nemoto and Kei Masuda) was a Japanese singing duo who had one moderate hit in the States called "Kiss in the Dark". For some odd reason, the group was touted as the next big thing in pop music. They were paired with comedian Jeff Altman, who is a funny guy. Even Altman's talents could not keep this misguided variety show afloat. One major problem was that Pink Lady's English-speaking skills were not great. It was painful to see Altman and the other regulars on the show attempting to play off of them, when it was clear the girls didn't know half of what was being said.

The late Jim Varney, who created the popular "Ernest" character, was also a cast member on this show.
