“Don’t miss the fun Wednesday night at 8.”
It’s 1975 this week, and we ventured deep into the barely-remembered TV files for this one. It’s a November 1975 ABC promo for The Rowan & Martin Report.
This short-lived series featured Dan Rowan and Dick Martin of Laugh-In fame riffing on the news of the day. I remember the show, but can’t find a listing for it on IMDb or Wikipedia. It’s time on the air must have been very brief. Enjoy!
