This ill-conceived show,
filled with name-dropping,
hamming and ncuvcau
riche snotkiccs, would have
been bad enough. ButKSC
insisted on reminding the
audience that this was a
"SPECIAL."
I rejected the notion
that this was indicative
of television specials.
Quickly, I fumbled with
the dial, still huddling next
to the television for the
warmth it radiated, when
there it was again; that
same word, but in a dif
ferent logo: "SPECIAL"
This time it was Kenny
Rogers and Linda Evans
starring in "The Gambler
II." I watched in utter
horror as Kenny and Linda
and an unbelievably rood
f
looking supporting cast
romped around the real
istic Western scenery,
saving people doing good
deeds, and saying dumb
things. : --.
When they were Erst
conceived, television
specials were just that;
special gathering of stars,
in well-produced, well
written programs. IIow
ever,frcm the loekef these
two "SPECIALS," it
