Circus of the Stars
At that time, Charmoli continued to work on directing for television, where he directed programs as the famous 1977 production of "The Nutcracker" starring Mikhail Baryshnikov, which was nominated for two Emmys (neither nomination was for Charmoli, however). He directed and choreographed nearly all of Mitzi Gaynor's television specials in the 1970s as well as two of Shirley MacLaine's. He also worked many times with Sid and Marty Krofft, directing all seventeen episodes of "Lidsville" and "The Bugaloos", respectively, as well as their TV special "Fol-de-Rol". He directed the first two years of "Star Search" (1984–85), and several years of Circus of the Stars, as well as "" (1979), winning the Directors Guild Award.
