American BandstandThis show is INDEED a classic, Dick Clark is INDEED the man, he put AB on the the map and he also set the standard for what a true emcee was all about, I use to watch AB on abc along with Scooby-Doo, Superfriends, Pac-Man, Goldie Gold and Action Jack, Heathcliff, The ABC Weekend Specials and of course that wascally wabbit Bugs Bunny, this show was on along with other shows like Disneyland, The Mickey Mouse Club, Bewitched, Here Come the Brides and many others, and also, who could ever forget Madonna's 1st appearance on Bandstand, well AB may be on syn. and reruns (and it did air on VH1 for the last 2 years) but the spirit of Bandstand still lives on New Year's Rockin' Eve, The American Music Awards and also on Don't Forget the Lyrics, God Bless Dick Clark on a job well done and thank you DC for being apart of my life, and also, Clark also hosted Pyramid and even Scattergories as well as It Takes Two and he also produced Greed w/Chuck Woolery, and also, when AB moved to the ABC Television Center in Hollywood other shows were taped their as well, shows like That's My Mama Starring Clifton Davis, Barney Miller Starring Hal Linden, Split Second with Tom Kennedy, Password/Password All-Stars with the late Allen Ludden, Showoffs with the late Bobby Van, SOAP Starring Katherine Helmond and the late Cathryn Damon, Benson Starring Robert Guillaume, Trivia Trap with Bob Eubanks, Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak, Double Talk with Henry Polic, II, Match Game with Ross Schafer and of course, the classic survey game Family Feud with the Original Feud himself (and the best, IMO) Richard Dawson, and here's something else: Dick Clark is younger than Robert Guillaume and plus, I hope that his speech is improving and also, this show has pave the wave for the likes of Soul Train w/Don Cornelious, CLUB MTV w/Downtown Julie Brown, Dance Party USA, London's Top of the Pops and of course America's Top 10 w/Casey Kasem.Gold Stars: 2 GOLD STARS:RELATED ITEMS:
