8 PM Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell (the Bay City Rollers;

from "Damn Yankees")


WXIA Ch. 11 Atlanta (ABC)

8 PM Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell
...this was The Bay City Rollers' second time on Cosell's show. The first, on the September 20th premiere, was sattelited from a studio at London Weekend Television (as I recall, it was on the same set used for SuperSonic, which had premiered on ITV that same month). For this appearance, the Rollers actually travelled to the Ed Sullivan Theater and performed "Saturday Night" on the same stage The Beatles made their first American performance over CBS' The Ed Sullivan Show over eleven years earlier. "Saturday Night" barely managed to hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 during the Cosell show's lifetime ;D ...
 
At the time the Rollers were being touted as the group that was going
to make the world forget the Beatles, so Cosell may have figured he'd
get the kind of ratings Sullivan got when he had the Beatles on in 1964.
As we know, the Rollers soon faded back into obscurity and Cosell didn't
get the big ratings (in fact his show was canceled after only 16 weeks).

...although the band actually landed The Bay City Rollers Show, their own Saturday morning NBC comedy variety show, in '78; NBC reran that show at 6:30 AM for about three or four years after its official cancellation without bothering to notify either the Rollers or producers Sid & Marty Krofft, according to head writer Mark Evanier...

Apparently, the Kroffts aren't fans of TV Guide, as past listings indicated here had repeats of The Bay City Rollers Show at 7:30AM ET / 6:30AM elsewhere. I would think they would buy a TV Guide to check up on what they would say about their other series during this period (including Donnie & Marie, Barbara Mandrell and, of course, Pink Lady).
 
Ohio State beat UCLA 42-21 in Columbus,Ohio. They had a rematch in the Rose Bowl and UCLA won 23-10.
