Carpenters - Space Encounters (1978) [Part 1]

[sraphael]

It's sad that I took such surprise in seeing Karen and Richard with their arms around each other.... It should be a given, but it wasn't so with these two ;(

[hermitnerd]

Thank you so much for uploading this special.

DEAR LORD, THIS IS HORRID

[liljon71]

@chthonic19 it beats people walking around wiyh their pants hanging below their asses.

[gisellebreault]

@chthonic19 yeah it is "QUICK SOMEONE GET ME A SHOTGUN"

[caesarydi]

can you spot the world's all time greatest haircut ??

[michaelleacy]

this is awful - in every way. Apparently Richard hated these specials intently

[StolenMonkey]

is it me or does that chick look like she needs a good roast beef dinner in her?

[cottagechskitty]

@StolenMonkey Insensitive Moment of the Year Award goes to...She died of anorexia.

[hocus2007]

[iempsa]

VERY GOOD SONG - SWEET SWEET SMILE - 1977 - I LOVE U KAREN-- Who's that little old man?

[blackmore4]

So THAT'S what it's all about... shampoo!

This is so bananas it's brilliant.

[gisellebreault]

[songtruth]

This is so bizarre! Yet awesome!

[uyg2008]

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I enjoyed watching it and relivng the 70s!

[sneyder69]

Her voice, her looks where great , its a shame that she died of anorexia....I wish she could stop on time ,and she wat her problem was

[DoctorJK3]

Thanks for posting the video! It's been 30 years since I've seen it and the quality is excellent! The Carpenters were (like a lot of others) riding the space theme in the late 70s, though it was odd to hear Billy Joel's Just "the way you are" as part of the mix.

Thanks again!

[earcandy2008]

Campy as hell, but the message is beautiful...

[walkyria89]

in the first minutes, she's so amazingly happy singing Sweet Sweet Smile.

actually, Karen has the most sweet, sweet smile ^^

[Youtubin2000]

I think it's pretty remarkable how Suzanne Sommers' character looks like she is right out of 1985! Definitely an accurate prediction of what female fashion in the "future" will look like!

[OceanKingNY]

You're right. She looks like Madonna in her 'boy toy' phase in the 80s!

[sisterlead02]

wow! where did you get this? it's really funny! very beautiful!

[LoveHowardBanister]

Thank you for posting! I have been wanting to see this like ever since I found out about the Carpenters!

[ALEJANDROSIMO]

I was afraid of not living enough time to see this treasure... I thank you so much whoever you are for making it possible to make my long life dream came true! I love Karen! It was a thrill to see this treasure! Ale, from Uruguay.

[choosesarah]

Lucky for all of us Karen and Richard forged a career in music rather than acting.

[carpentersaddict]

Where do you people get a hold of these videos, I look for places to buy them, and can't find them.

[mediafunhouse]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this up there, I thought I'd never see it again. It's obvious these are shelved in some vault somewhere, it's great to see it get out to the public for once. Campy as hell, but gotta be seen, thanks again!

[Supernap1]

Was that the same outfit she wore at the Tonight Show and the video Sweet Sweet Smile?Must be sentimental to her...

[kfcarpfan]

Thank you so much! This is my favorite Carpenters T.V. Special!
