    Finally! I can't wait! I used to record parts of the show with my cassette recorder while my Mom made fun of me. It'll be great to see those episodes again. I remember Daryl fishing for a giant letter E, and I think a steam roller in "Lonely Nights." Toni's spaghetti strap sequenced gowns, and all the different colored captain's hats. I was too young to remember much more.I hope Neil Sedaka is on one of the episodes. That would be doubly delightful! With any luck, they'll have some behind the scenes extras and any music videos they made. I think there was one for "Do that to me one more time."

    Per the user comment above:It was just announced (12/04) that this series will be released on DVD in Spring 2005. However, word has it that it will not be complete episodes but highlights from throughout the series (there is a question as to how many episodes there were -- some claim as few as 20 or as high as 26).Another variety series of that era, The Tony Orlando & Dawn Show, will have a similar Spring release.These shows were not very high quality productions; however, they had elements of fun and musicality that made them enjoyable to watch and, certainly, acquiring them today on DVD will give many of us a tremendous nostalgia lift.

    I was a big fan of Captain and Tennille back then, but I can't say the show was all that good. The skits were poorly written and not all that innovative, but who cared? I believe they had 2 Captain and Tennille singing segments that were great. They always had guest stars, I think they were always singers....like Leo Sayer, whoever was popular at the time. I still cringe at some of the jokes and skits...but Tennille had such a good voice, it was worth it to watch her sing the songs...remember there was no MTV back then. I remember they did "Gangster, you're no good", to the tune of "You're No Good"-by Linda Rondstadt. It was a tribute to "The Godfather" movies. I was mad when they cancelled it. I had no way to way to see Captain and Tennille. It was replaced by "Eight is Enough" on ABC. I boycotted the show.

    The Captain and Tennille series erupted on the scene in 1976 and 1977 and it aired every monday night at 8pm on ABC. I think this was the finest form of muscial entertainment an hour could be spent with, no offense to the Sonny and Cher show but they simply could not hold water to the talent, versatility and fine theme The Captain and Tennille had on their series. Although Cher has done well for herself, I must tell you Toni Tennille did as well. She now exercises her stage talent along with the lush sounds of the combined muscial keyboarding of her husband the Captain (Daryl Dragon). I would love to be able to view the re-runs from the original series, they were such good entertainment and their music was always appreciated, with their new CD "Twenty years of Romance" , their music will remain timeless and in closing, once again, there just is no topping their series.....
