The Harlem Globetrotters have been around for over 90 years, winning an incredibly impressive amount of games and creating a broad legion of fans around the world. But in the 1970s and 1980s, the fun-loving team left the basketball court and hit the television studios. Over the span of two decades, the exhibition team starred in its own shows, popped up in TV specials and traveled the world with everyone from the cast of The Love Boat to the Pope. 

Here's proof that the Harlem Globetrotters were everywhere in the '70s and '80s. Do you remember seeing them in any of these shows?

It didn't get any more ridiculous (and fun!) than when the Harlem Globetrotters crash landed on the island in the TV movie The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island. The team ended up playing a game of basketball against a team of robots, ultimately using their fancy tricks to win the game.
