I never even heard of it. Gee, everybody and their mother had a variety show back then - just like everybody and their mother has a reality show today!!

According to the article it was a special not a series. That means it only aired once. And according to the article that was probably once to much!

It made sense for some sitcom stars (Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, Hal Linden, etc.) to have variety shows/specials because they had singing, dancing and/or instrumental backgrounds. For example, Hal Linden has played clarinet for many, many years. Others - not so much. Poor Ted.
