Forgotten TV: On Stage America (1984)

 Here's one that slipped through the cracks of the timestream.

On Stage America is so obscure, IMDB only has credits for a grand total of four episodes that aired in the spring and summer of 1984. This 2 hour syndicated series had to be a monthly series of specials, then, instead of a weekly series.

Among the hosts were actress Randi Oakes (ex-CHiPs), LA TV personality Steve Edwards, and NFL star Todd Christiansen, who'd segue from On Stage to a color analyst's role on the original American Gladiators.

Edit, 8/24/24: Had to change the video. This clip spotlights actor-singer-dancer Ben Vereen:


No rating. Didn't see this the 1st time around, even though the show aired on WNEW (now WNYW) in New York.
