It appeared on the Billboard Top 40 chart for 16 weeks, and in the top 10 for five weeks. It debuted at #38 on May 12, peaking at #5 for two weeks, July 21 and July 28. Its last appearance on the charts was at #31 on August 25. It is unique in that, unlike other hit TV themes such as "Believe It or Not" and "Welcome Back," it lasted longer in the Top 40 than the program for which it was the theme lasted on the air. The program was canceled by ABC after only 8 episodes. Furthermore, the song entered the Top 40 on May 12 -- almost two months after the TV series left the air. The song also appeared on the soundtrack of the 1979 film Meatballs. It was also featured in the 1999 film Detroit Rock City, as well as episodes of the television series Cold Case and Fame
