I saw it. It wasn't all that but at least it was better than the 1986 episode with Levert and James Ingram a few weeks ago (that I recorded over ). I'll probably save this episode though because at least it contained funk (what little was left back then). The songs they played were some of the best they could, for 1988 anyway. But hearing all those songs from the year 1988 brought back some depressing memories of what else was all over the radio at the time that didn't get played on the show.....because they would have been too slow to dance to.

I was surprised with The Bus Boys performance. I remember them being rock so I was expecting them to be my least favorite of the guests. Those guys had changed their style and put some funk into it. Hell, they should have let them do two songs and let Pebbles do only one song, instead of that boring adult contemporary song she did at the end of the show.

Anyway, I hope they are through playing around in the late 1980s and go no further than 1984. I'm really dying to see some episodes from 1978 and 1979 when disco was huge. That's when I first started watching the show.
