Based on the series of childrens' mystery books, sometimes the series alternated characters between shows, alternated storylines on the same show, one a few occasions teamed them up, but toward the end dropped Nancy Drew altogether. It concerned Frank Hardy (Parker Stevenson), his brother Joe (Shaun Cassidy), and Nancy Drew (Pamela Sue Martin).

Anita Bryant was a big celebrity in the 70s known more for her anti-gay crusades than entertaining. The Hollywood Bowl doesn't have a dome on it, it is shaped like a dome itself.

The witness is William Conrad as Cannon.

The Bad News Bears coach looks more like Jack Klugman than Walter Matthau, but I guess since Klugman is the TV version of Matthau in the Odd Couple series that sort of makes sense.

Shaun Cassidy was also a pop singer.

There were also supporting characters and parents not used in these parodies.
