1976 ABC. "The Dental Dynamiter." John Schuck and Richard B. Shull robot cop sitcom. Android. Bruce Kirby, Andrea Howard. Guest stars Dick Yarmy, James T. Callahan, Lew Horn. John Astin and Jack Arnold directed several episodes. One I watched before had Jay Leno in it. Other android cops were seen on Future Cop and Mann & Machine.
Dental offices are being bombed by a serial bomber. Holmes and Yoyo have to pound the pavement and try to track down leads and find some connection between all the dentists. Yoyo has a Polaroid camera built in that takes a picture when you press his nose and prints out the pic from his shirt pocket. Very handy here when a college tie-in is found.
Holmes & Yoyo is not nearly as bad as its reputation suggests. It is pretty silly. A watchable 70s cop sitcom. Eleven episodes aired and there are three or four eps. on Youtube right now. I've watched two or three.

1979 NBC. "Till Dad Do Us Part." Second Internet Archive edition. John Schuck and Sharon Gless body swap sitcom. There are also a couple of these on Youtube, but I was looking for the one with Rick Springfield guest starring. Also with Bruce Kirby, Richard Stahl, Don Porter, Anne Bloom, Peggy Converse, Bobbi Jordan. Steven Bochco was one of the developers and writers.
Sharon Gless and John Schuck are married couple Sam and Penny Alston. After inadvertently buying a magic statue that grants wishes, they wake up one morning to find they have switched bodies and they are unable to reverse the process. "Where's the beer?" Gless asks. "Where it always is, behind the mayonnaise." Schuck replies. Penny also has to smoke cigars. Richard Stahl and Bobbi Jordan are the nosy neighbors. In this episode Penny's sister Valerie (Anne Bloom) shows up in town with the news that she is marrying Rick (Rick Springfield) and she wants them to come to Vegas for the wedding, but Sam insists they get married in their house. The real trouble starts when Penny's parents arrive.
This was the other 1979 NBC sitcom with an annoying laugh track. Same thing I encountered with Highcliffe Manor. Sharon Gless is very good as the cigar chomping, beer drinking, baseball fan. One of the Youtube videos is a TV movie called The Magic Statue that was produced by editing together several episodes, including this one. Seven episodes aired in total. It is a moderately amusing show, sold well by Gless and Schuck, and Richard Stahl is always good.
