More Bad Apples - 40th Anniversary
Season 1 Episode 11

Truly, the January 30, 1976 episode of The Donny and Marie Show is amjam-packed and overstuffed episode. It is filled with good stuff, bad stuff and some really unexplainable stuff.
This episode is so jam-packed and overstuffed, it includes a cameo appearance by none other than a Sleestak from LAND OF THE LOST.
The good stuff includes some good music (Marie singing "I Cant Stop Loving You"; Donny singing "Rock Around The Clock"; Jimmy Osmond singing…whatever (we here at MORE BAD APPLES love Jimmy and he can sing whatever he wants, we will listen)); two (count 'em, two) separate occasions for Bob Hope to get off some of his jokes (which are so bad they are funny).
The bad stuff includes too much Ted Knight singing; Marie singing that old chestnut "Feelings" which is a terrible, terrible song and would defeat any singer); some unfortunate comedy material for Donny & Marie.
The unexplainable stuff includes too much Ted Knight singing; an incredibly surreal segment of the Ice Capade chicks ice skating with a basketball theme intercut with a montage of the Globetrotters playing basketball and it is all set to some incredibly funky song we here at MORE BAD APPLES don't know (but maybe our listeners will know); an uncomfortable segment where Ted Knight spends the segment hitting on Marie.
Join us this week as we delve into one of the more enjoyable episodes of The Donny & Marie Show.
