ABC Saturday Morning Sneak Peek & Fun Fit Test (1985)

ABC served up a Saturday Sneak Peek that was meant, really, for the whole family in 1985.

The ABC Saturday Sneak Peek & Fun Fit Test, hosted by Tony Danza (Who's The Boss?), also features Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton, who'd take charge of the Fun Fit interstitals that were also part of the class of '85, and, from "Star Wars", C3PO (Anthony Daniels) & R2D2 (Kenny Baker).

The rest of the Class of '85:

The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo
Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians
Bugs Bunny-Looney Tunes Comedy Hour (which becomes The Bugs Bunny-Tweety Show the next year)
Star Wars: Droids & Ewoks
Scooby's Mystery Funhouse (reruns from earlier seasons because ABC didn't get enough new material for the season).

Forgive the video quality. No rating, as I didn't see this the first time (baseball, you know):



As you know by now, the two Scooby-Doo series didn't survive the season. When 13 Ghosts was bounced in March, Mystery Funhouse went with it, ending Scooby's 1st run at ABC just shy of a full decade.
