Tell-a-vision

Appearances on TV could help groups get wider recognition. Some groups even made their own TV spectaculars. Links to imdb are included—wiki is another good sources of info. The Monkees TV series is mentioned in-line on their their page. In the early 60s, almost every big city had an afternoon or Saturday "dance show" hosted by the local DJ (here in New York, it was Alan Freed and then Cousin Brucie). Two network shows that featured the rock 'n' roll restart were Shindig and Hullabaloo. The hipper of the two was the former (at least until the producer Jack Good was forced out). The kids in the UK had several outstanding pop shows: Ready, Steady, Go! and Top Of The Pops (see Kinks). Little Steven's Underground garage has an excellent show called TV A-Go-Go , which you should listen to right now. There are two types listed here: Variety Series and Specials. Of the hundreds of variety shows that were presented during the 60s, these two shows were tops. The Specials section includes a few favs. But, perhaps the most influential variety show of that time was the ground-breaking Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. There's an Easter Egg page about this and the follow-on NBC skit show. But since you're here to read about TV, here's a direct link. You're welcome.

Special programming allowed a more in-depth look at an artist or an idea. Sometimes the big three networks that ruled the airwaves produced their takes on the rising rock scene. ABC tried a few: let's follow Bob Dylan's 1966 UK tour. Made for ABC Stage 67, D A Pennebaker's disjointed Eat The Document has remained an underground film for 50 years. How about that hippie thing, ah, Monterey Pop something? Fearing insane editing by corporate choppers, D A (yes, him again) submitted a terrible audition reel that ABC saw and subsequently decided to drop the show. Pennabacker then made the classic we have today. ABC did get one odd-ball on for us "kids." January 1967—The Beatles are taking acid and about to release Strawberry Fields Forever, so ABC shows the Shea Stadium concert the mop-tops did in 1965! Great show—poor timing. Then there was the odd little film about Oblio with narration by Dustin Hoffman (and was inspired by an acid trip). NBC was smart. They created their own group, complete with an off-the-wall-kids'll-love-it TV show. The Monkees show was good fun. But they were smarter than the network monkeys and eventually chomped off the hand that fed them: The bizarre 33⅓ Revolutioms per Monkee TV special and the final bite, the insane movie Head. NBC also brought us the black-out skit show Laugh In (discused on an Easter Egg page) and the late, great Johnny Carson. CBS, the Tiffany network for fuddy-duddies and rural folk did excel at documentaries. Back in those days, kids, the News Departments were not beholding to produce profits. They investigated and presented hard-hitting shows that literally changed the course of American history (see Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and Dan Rather). One of the best, honest looks at pop music of 1967 was Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution. CBS also stood their ground when Simon & Garfunkel's November 69 special ran into major sponsor issues. PBS (then known as NET) has showcased art and music to separate itself from the vast wasteland and has made many outstanding shows over the years. Shows like American Masters take in-depth looks at our stars and times. Specials about certain items are shown at certain times (call 1-800-FEED-PBS). One of PBS' earliest series was Fanfare, a show that brought world music into the homes of Americans. There were several episodes that zoomed in on San Francisco and the Fillmore East. They also showed the Pythons, Dr Who, Julia Child and other great shows. Speaking of weird British shows, two are featured here: The Beatles MMT, a psychedelic film shown in black & white on Boxing Day—no wonder the reviews were awful. Not saying it's a great film, but really. Then there was the Stone's Christmas gift that went unwrapped and undelivered until the 90s. DVDs of The Old Grey Whistle Test, the long running music show can be had, as well as many others. Most of the shows below can be viewed online. Links have not been provided since they are occasioally DMCAd (only to show up later, and repeat). Just highlight the title, right-click and select "Search...", click on the videos tab, sit back, light up and enjoy. Eazy Peazy (altho your results might vary). BTW, there was a special on NBC in 1978 that was a "documentary" about four lads from Liverpool in a slightly different universe. It's all explained on an Easter Egg page. Think of humourous Brits and the year.

And you thought Head was weird? A last blast at NBC's expense—from scripted goofballs to far-out stoners destroying The Monkees™. The Rock & Roll Medley (with the three greatest 88 pounders in rock) is amazing, although the ending mess of Listen To The Band is here as well. Doubt if there were very many viewers that stuck around for that; that is those few that made it past Paul Arnold & The Moon Express.
