Operation: Entertainment (variety, hosted by Jim Lange)

    (ABC Primetime, 1968 - 1969)

    [This hour-long series attempted to mount a live television
     variety show each week from a different military base; the
     ambitious effort produced by Chuck Barris was reminiscent of
     the Bob Hope military shows during wartime; it featured Jim
     Lange, a bevy of beautiful girls and the Terry Gibbs Quartet]
