The Adventures of Mark & Brian
Many radio stations had seen a lot of success with the "zany partners" format, in which two DJs make prank phone calls, organize crazy celebrity stunts, and have people come into the studio to give unusual demonstrations. This program was an attempt to transplant the format to TV, with Los Angeles disc jockeys Mark and Brian staging a different wacky stunt each week. Episodes ranged from the pair trying out shark diving (getting tips from Lloyd Bridges), to having Bob Goulet sing love songs to LA from a helicopter on Valentine's Day.
