Season 4 of "Child of the '70s," the brainchild of Michael Vaccaro, is a parody of and a loving homage to the sitcoms Vaccaro loved growing up in the 1970s, and it stars many sitcom celebrities from the era, including Susan Olsen ("The Brady Bunch"), Ted Lange ("The Love Boat") and the original Cowboy from The Village People, Randy Jones.
