It featured the entire original cast on location. The reason for their visit is that they are looking for a new pet for Eddie. Musical numbers are provided by the New Christy Minstrels. It was shot, of course, entirely in Marineland in the Pacific, an oceanarium and tourist attraction in California (which closed in 1987). The park managed to attract several TV programs over the years, even the A-team, until right before it closed; and even years after its sudden closure it is still used as a filming location. Reviewers who have seen the Marineland special - namely those of the San Diego Reader and Pop Colorture - describe it as not too good, and a commercial for Marineland, that did not change any schedule to facilitate the filming. The show was ''not'' written by the regular writers, Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher. It was shot on videotape and never repeated. A kinescope (a film copy) exists at the Paley Center in New York.<ref>[https://paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=marineland&p=1&item=B:51027 The surviving copy of the special at the Paley Center.] Retrieved 22 May '18</ref> The reviewers above also note that the film has severely deteriorated. In late 2016, it was posted on archive.org, as mentioned on Sitcomsonline and on Facebook.<ref>[http://sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=354047 The Sitcomsonline thread post mentioning the special.] Retrieved 22 May '18</ref><ref> [https://facebook.com/WeirdHollywood/posts/1457245784304052 A Facebook post mentioning the special.] Retrieved 22 May '18</ref> However, archive.org has since taken the video offline, so it has gone back to being lost.
