Beat out by "Me & You & A Dog Named Boo"Don't forget McArthur Park and Muskrat Love. On second thought, maybe it'd be good to forget them. :-) I agree with you about disco, BTW.

If it was a tv-show (and not a mini-series) then it was condensed down to a tv-movie later. YES I do remember the show.

Sis did a lot of macreme...she made those pot hangers. At the time, we thought it was cool, and sis had talent. Now we know better. Charlie's Angles and Love Boat were great for younge red-blooded american males.

"Polyester" came out in the early 1980s (81?) but really it is a film of the 1970s (looks like it was based on every calamity of "After School Specials").
In the end, the daughter strangles one of her mother's attackers with some macrame.
Another catch all film of the 1970s is The Spirit Of 76 (about time travellers who go back to 1976 instead of 1776).
And then there are the REAL films of the 1970s that manage to capture the essence of the era.
