Damn, I never knew this season even existed! Even Jump the Shark listed SG as starting in 1980.

@WatchVenusSpa Solid Gold 79' was just this one pilot episode

'79 was a good year. My friends and I used to troll the hookers near the Lincoln Tunnel on the NYC side. $10 BJs. Good times!

I was born in 1979 and I didn't miss out I'm glad I was born in the 70's and lived through the 80's. these kids thesedays,I feel for them, they the ones who is missing out.

@WatchVenusSpa The show Solid Gold DID start in 1980. This is was not part of the show. It was a one-off show that was so popular it spawned the series.

This wasn't a "pilot." It was a one-time show called "Solid Gold '79." It was so popular they created a show based on it called "Solid Gold."

Solid Go-Go in New York City is performing original choreography to these original music countdowns! Some (or one) of you may think MTV saved you, but now we're saving you from "music television" where music entertainment does not truly exist. We love these songs and we loved watching this show when we were just little girls. Oh and to that one guy who thinks this is a 70s show - wrong! Even this '79 pilot was shown in 1980 (a tv special for the new year, playing '79 hits) - it was all 80s, bud

I wonder if any of the dancers ever fell off the stage lol! :O

[Onewytlyter]

I NEVER noticed that ALL of the dancers are shaped the same. Male and female alike. Yikes!!! I mean, I loved the show, and very much appreciate this sweetly nostalgic experience, but, I mean, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE. Was the criteria to become a SG dancer that you be able to fit in and not visibly alter the costumes Wowwwww for real. Thanks for the look back. Blessings.

@Spartacus217 1979 was a good year for me too; that's the year my mom got pregnant with me

@JudyKhan500lbSlut Technically you can't get blown under the Lincoln Tunnel. I think you'd be in bedrock. Yabba Dabba Doo!!!

[JudyKhan500lbSlut]

@Spartacus217 You had to pay to get someone to blow you back in 1979?Whats the matter,your friends couldnt hook you up with some nice young chick to do that for you or are you one of these sick fuckers like Eddie Murphy or Danny Bonnaduce who pays ten bucks for a tranny to clean their clocks out for them?If you were getting blown under the Lincoln tunnel in 1979 for $10 than you sure as Hell aint getting blown at all nowdays.
