On Sanford & Son, Lamont ends up in a gay bar. Fred: I know what gay means! Followed by failed sitcoms Lotsa Luck and The Girl With Something Extra. Friday nights on NBC. Sorry folks, I watched The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Room 222, and Love, American Style on ABC. That Sanford & Son episode looks queer, though.
Lotsa Luck lasted a season. Apprently not a lot of people were talking about it.

Promos for October 19, 1973 {"IN COLOR"}:
'SANFORD AND SON": "Lamont, Is That You?"
"LOTSA LUCK": "The Winning Purse"
"THE GIRL WITH SOMETHING EXTRA": "John & Sally & Fred & Linda"
"LOTSA LUCK" permanently moved to Fridays (from Monday nights) in January 1974, to no avail.

How weird! I was only 3 in those days, so I guess when these shows were on, I was asleep! The snake in a box as NBC's logo? "In color", like color was still a new selling point? Lotsa Luck? The Girl With Something Extra? I don't remember any of that!
My earliest NBC logo memory was the trapezoid N they stole from Nebraska Public TV two years after this.
And Sanford and Son, of course.

It looks like Lotsa Luck wasn't so lucky, and The Girl With ESP probably didn't see her show being cancelled either. I only remember Sanford and Son.

@MattTheSaiyan Yeah, you didn't wait another 7 days to watch the next episode like it would've been 40 years ago!

"Lotsa Luck" got released on DVD. Not bad, but the show came across as repetitive. However, I tend to go through DVD sets quickly...the whole series in less than a week, which may explain why it seemed repetitive....

Is this promo from a show that you have? That would be cool. It would be cooler if it came from a football game.

This was probably from the fall of '73; when I just turned 16.

if those 1973 friday night NBC promos of shows could do that? then perhaps an NBC promo of the short lived one season wonder 1973 promo for the 1973-74 Jack Webb crime show "Chase" can do it too?
