''Pink Lady'' is an American variety show that aired for five weeks on NBC in 1980, starring the musical duo of the same name. The show is most commonly referred to by the title ''Pink Lady and Jeff'', which refers to co-star Jeff Altman. The series ranked #35 on ''TV Guides 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time list.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time? )〕 ==Synopsis== The series starred Japanese female singing duo Pink Lady, Mitsuyo Nemoto ("Mie") and Keiko Masuda ("Kei"), and American comedian Jeff Altman. The format of the show consisted of musical numbers alternating with sketch comedy. The running gag of the series was the girls' lack of understanding of American culture and the English language; in reality, Pink Lady did not speak any English at all. Jeff would then attempt to translate and explain the meaning of things, which led to more confusion. The series also featured Pink Lady performing various songs (usually English-language disco and pop songs such as "Boogie Wonderland" or "Yesterday", which the duo sang in English) along with interaction with celebrity and musical guests. The group would end the show by jumping into a hot tub together. After the poorly rated series premiere, NBC moved ''Pink Lady'' to Friday nights and added Jim Varney, who achieved later fame as Ernest P. Worrell in the ''Ernest'' series of movies and television shows, as a character actor. The move and retooling failed to help ratings and the series was canceled after five episodes.〔 After the series ended, Pink Lady returned to Japan where they performed their farewell concert in 1981. The duo reunited in 1996 and celebrated the 25th anniversary of their first hit in 2003 with a successful concert tour. Jeff Altman went on to co-host ''Solid Gold'' and returned to stand-up comedy.〔 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「Pink Lady (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
