Views: 1666

Here's the opening and "Sponsored by..." tag for "The Bad News Bears" - a relatively short-lived TV series (23 episodes) based on the movies. On this night, Episode #3 aired, "Nakedness is Next to Godliness". (Wikipedia has the wrong one listed for this night)

The show starred several people who would later become better known, including Corey Feldman, Meeno Peluce (of Voyagers! fame), and Tricia Cast (the sister in It's Your Move and other roles).
