''Makin' It'' is an American sitcom starring David Naughton as a disco dancer in the late 1970s. The series only lasted nine episodes, airing on Fridays at 8:00PM on ABC from February 1 through March 23, 1979 before being canceled. It also aired in the United Kingdom on ITV from March 21, 1979. In 2002, ''TV Guide'' ranked it number 40 on its TV Guide's 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time list. ==Synopsis== The show was set in Passaic, New Jersey and was about the daily life of Billy Manucci, a young man who frequented the local disco club, Inferno, at night while working at an ice cream parlor called Tasty Treats during the day. Manucci was highly influenced by the disco craze and the movie ''Saturday Night Fever'' specifically. ''Makin' It'' had the misfortune of coming to air near the end of the disco fad as backlash against the disco culture (such as the one portrayed in the show) was rising in the United States, culminating in Disco Demolition Night in the summer of 1979. As such, it lasted only eight weeks on air before being canceled. Robert Stigwood, the producer of ''Saturday Night Fever'' as well as the Bee Gees' manager, was involved in the show's creation, as was Garry Marshall. The theme song, sung by David Naughton, reached #5 on the Billboard Top 40 charts in 1979.〔(Billboard Top 40 Hits of 1979 )〕 It entered the Top 40 on May 12, nearly two months after the show had been canceled. The song was also featured in the Bill Murray movie ''Meatballs'' as well as the GameCube dance game MC Groovz Dance Craze. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Makin' It (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
