*Warning! Potential spoilers ahead!* Where to begin? Well, I guess it would have to be with the medley of classical theme songs. Dave Cassidy and Shirley Jones were in fine voice, on "the Partridge Family" theme. And (much to my delight and surprise), so were Barry Williams and Maureen McCormick on "the Brady Bunch" theme! But, I especially loved the four-part harmony rendition of the "Dick Van Dyke" theme. I never knew there were words to it! Let alone, that Morey Amsterdam had composed it!! I was a little disappointed that no one came up from the audience to accept the Food Fight Award on behalf of "I Love Lucy." If not Lucy Arnaz or her brother, Desi Jr., then Keith "Little Ricky" Thibodeaux, at least. As for John Ritter? Well, he was all right. But, some of the jokes he was reading off the cue cards make me wish that those drop-dead gorgeous dancers had hosted, instead!
