The Wacko Saturday Preview and Other Good Stuff Special is a 1977 one-hour prime-time special that was a comedy carnival with music and variety combined in a wacky welcome to the four then-new and six returning Saturday Morning shows on CBS the Thursday night before their premiere two days later. The special aired in September 8, 1977.

The special starred the cast from the short-lived children's television series Wacko along with the special guests Soupy Sales, The Sylvers and the Dwight Twilly Band. The hour of shenanigans would featured the famous Star Wars character Darth Vader. The special would also featured the cameo appearances by Marty Allen, Jim Backus, Harry Nilsson, Gary Owens and Loretta Swit.[1]

The special was only aired once and no footage of the special exists.
