TV.com summary |
Make Your Own Kind Of Music was an eight-week-long American television series starring The Carpenters that aired on NBC from July 20, 1971 to September 7, 1971. Some guest stars were Don Knotts, Herb Alpert, Al Hirt, Mark Lindsay, Patchett & Tarses, and the Doodletown Pipers.
The key concept of the series was that each show started off with the letter "A". The first show started off with "A is for Alpert," as Herb Alpert stood next to a big letter "A", and introduced the show. They then went down the alphabet list, and when they get to "Z", the show was over.
