Countdown to Christmas: Christmas on Dance Fever (1980)

 From season 3 of Dance Fever:

For Christmas, the usual dance competition swelled into a one hour holiday special, as judges Robert Blake, Chad Everett, & Connie Stevens were joined by their daughters. The Gap Band are the musical guests.

Quick fact: 1/2 of Motion, the dance team sidekicks of host Denny Terrio, was future actress Janet Jones (now Mrs. Wayne Gretzky). Like, who knew?


As you can see, part of the open and part of the closing credits, including the Merv Griffin Productions logo, were edited off. In a technical sense, the series was spun off from an episode of The Merv Griffin Show. Again, who knew?

No rating. Just a public service.
