Here's part three of the superfab Tiger Beat Super Special from 1977. I think this is a cool snapshot of a very specific moment of pop culture.
Here's the foxy and wholesome Eight is Enough gals. Most of them had fairly bad careers after this:
Some fairly uninteresting questions, but I do like the declaration "I'm hooked on Shaun Cassidy but good!":
Too, too much information about Captain and Tennille:
They were such huge superstars for such a short period of time! Note the little thing on upcoming new show Three's Company:
Greg Evigan would have to wait a couple of years for it to be his "year at the top" with BJ and the Bear, but he's had a busy, busy career ever since. Next, what does Grant Goodeve like in a girl? The answers are boilerplate Tiger Beat standard:
This is the most poignant part of the mag, the end of the line for the Bay City Rollers, pared down to only two original members:
Poor Les misses the Rollers' good old days, when they were popular:
Stay tuned for the final part, with more wistful Bay City Rollers nostalgia, Willie Ames, more Donny and Marie and Leif!

I blinked and missed Biff Warren's career. Poor guy died of AIDS in 1993. If there's a contest for which hunky Tiger Beat guy looks best with his shirt off in this issue, Biff would get many, many votes.
Also, a question about Roger Daltrey! I think the correct answer would have been, "You should buy Creem Magazine. That's where people write about real rock stars like Roger!"
This really is wonderful fun to read.
When I read Captain & Tennile fac t #576, I pictured a Walter Keane painting.
Any sentence can be made punchier with an exclamation point! kids love it!
Fun! The one 8 is enough girl on the bottom looks like a young Ruth Buzzi
Heh, pre-General-Hospital and pre-Jessie's-Girl Rick Springfield! The Rickstravaganza was yet to come; the Shaunocalypse had to play itself out first.
Those Charlie's Angels shirts . . . I now remember actually seeing those on people. Wow, that's an unburied memory. I wonder what else is in my head. Little scary.
Matty: There's a lot of shirtlessness in this issue, it seems. (Donny! Osmond! *shudder)
"I go to Discotheques"! "I like the Bee Gees"! "Lets do the Tiger Beat"! "till we go crazy"!!!
