There were several extremely memorable and historic events that occurred in 1980, namely: The failure of the U.S. military to free American hostages in Iran Okay, okay, so the last item was memorable only to that minuscule number of people who had any interest in the show. Was Pink Lady and Jeff great TV? "Yes!" Uhh, "No!" But that didn't at all matter to folks like you and me. All we cared about was seeing Mie and Kei on American television. Truly a once in a lifetime event. And so, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our Japanese dream queens making their official debut in the States, I present to you, a visual retrospective of PL & J. For anyone out there who might not had seen the show during it's oh, so brief run in 1980, the stills you'll see from all six episodes will give you an idea of what the show was all about. And for those of you lucky enough to have seen PL & J, I'm sure this will take you back as you relive fond memories of seeing the Ladies performing for an American audience. And, if you actually have fond memories of Jeff Altman, might I, as a friend recommend serious and immediate therapy. I don't know if any of my brethren in Japan did anything to mark the anniversary of PL & J, so, for all I know, I may well have been the only person on the face of God's green earth who did anything to bring attention to this highly momentous occasion. I felt that if I hadn't done something like this, no one else would have. In my mind, that would've amounted to almost criminal neglect on my part as a Pink Lady fan if I had let this special moment pass without proper recognition. Unlike the crudely captured stills I posted back in 2000, I now have updated and, more importantly, crystal clear pictures (like the one above) to display, courtesy of John Vawter who was kind enough re-do them, he even included stills from the second half of episode four! The beauty of what you're about to see shows the tremendous amount of time and effort John put into this, for which I am extremely grateful. Please let me know what you think of the new exhibit! P.S. Due to the number of stills (16) on each page, it may take a little bit of time to load, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. Please be patient. I promise it'll be worth the wait! |
