Step into a rare and wildly entertaining piece of ABC television history with Funshine Saturday Sneak Peek!
Actor Lee Majors hosts this special preview of ABC’s upcoming Saturday morning programming, but things quickly take a comedic turn when tapes of the new shows are stolen by a gang of bumbling heavies known as PSSST, played by the legendary Ace Trucking Company: Fred Willard (Santa Claus), Bill Saluga (Tarzan), George Memmoli (Mummy), and Michael Mislove (Ballerina).
To recover the stolen footage, Lee calls in none other than The Six Million Dollar Man himself, creating a hilarious crossover as Lee Majors and Steve Austin finally “meet.”
Narrated by Don Adams, the special also features appearances by Richard Anderson as Oscar Goldman, TV game show host Monty Hall, and Will B. Able as the wonderful, whimsical, and magical Funshine Clown.
