The "Doonesbury" program that NBC aired at 9:30 PM - I'm guessing one Garry Trudeau was involved with it...

As were animators John and Faith Hubley, although John died before the project was completed.
The plot had to do with whether or not the original characters should shut down their commune
and move into condos; the kids in Joanie's day-care center are already into the yuppie movement
(one wants to be an anthropologist; another, an accountant). Most of the voice actors' names
are not familiar but one, the Rev. William Sloane Coffin, provided the voice of the Rev. Scott Sloan.
 
And how 'bout that rock and roll version of the Nativity with the 3 Kings playing guitars and belting out "O Come All Ye Faithful" and the 4th. verse of "We Three Kings Of Orient Are?" Now that was something!
 
Which somehow reminds me of the episode of "Animaniacs"
where Yakko, Wakko, and Dot go back in time to Bethlehem
and play a jazzed-up version of "The Little Drummer Boy" for
the baby Jesus.

Coffin was Trudeau's role model for Sloan, in much the same way that Uncle Duke is a takeoff on Hunter Thompson.
