I used to watch this TV show on Friday nights. Finally get to see this again and re-live these wonderful memories. Thank you for recovering these classic tapes!
Seeing this show, especially the sung intro by the fire character, really touched in me a forgotten memory of life as a 7 year old. My sister LOVED this show and always had it on when it came on Saturday nights on NY Metromedia Channel 5. Thank you so, so much for this perfect time machine and archive back to a wonderful time.
I reside in NYC (Brooklyn) and have been here since September 1978. I vaguely remember Soap Factory Disco also airing before or after this show. Those were the days.
Living in the UK we never saw this show. We never had a dedicated disco show, only Top of the Pops which ran from new Years Day 1964 until the early 2000s.
I see a lot of street dance legends on this one like the late great Shabba-Doo(whom I had the pleasure of interviewing), Lollipop and that bald headed brother with his early b-boy moves that was breaking it down on Copacabana, I saw him killing it on Soul Train.
Heh heh! I remember that brother from Soul Train too. He was dynamic and every now and then he'd use that oversized tooth brush as a prop. Rip to Shabba-Doo who became a dance director as well. Good memories from Hot City.
The Metromedia station in Houston,Texas(KDOG channel 26,now Fox affiliate KRIV)aired early on Saturday nights back to back with “Twiggy’s Jukebox “ at 8pm. I was 9 years old at the time.
The TV station that aired this was WTCN in Minneapolis,Minnesota. Less than a year later,the station became an NBC affiliate yet continued to air programming Metromedia had already acquired for the station to air. By 1986,they had the complete NBC schedule and changed its call letters to the current KARE.
Wow only recently became aware of this GEM of show!! Looks like only about 15 episodes max yet actually find this way superior to Dance Fever & even Solid Gold!! They had all the A listers & legends on & top notch production etc...Possibly didn't work due to over saturation of this genre?
Shows like this make me so mad that my mother had me at the dawn of the 80s. I missed out on what a hell of a time the 70s were. I am loving this show. I was a dancer in my teens and early 20s so I probably would've been on this show if I was around and lived in LA. I do love seeing the shows that Frankie Valli performed "Grease" on and seeing the people rocking to it. It's such a great song and it's a shame that Randal Kleiser(the film's director) hated it as it "sounded too disco".
So cool. About 5 years after this Shabba Doo would be starring in Breakin'. I totally forgot he was one of Jeff's dancers as he was a legendary Locker. I remember this show and another show from Miami called "Kicks" which also featured Jeff and some of these dancers. th-cam.com/video/8TU2mnCFGNI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-cWHLx4mphwrv_8a
Here I am an ardent feminist, and I just watched the host call two women dancers "girls" and "lovely little muffins." (24:11). But I love this show and disco in general. Thanks for uploading. But why so many edits?
Bob, remember that we recorded these for business purposes to evaluate the magnetic tape development for the VHS standard and didn't want commercials to play when we were viewing them at engineering meetings. So the commercials were edited On-the-Fly while recording was taking place.
@@stephentaylor8461 I get it, sorry...I hope people will remember that this was not a really sloppy disco fan editing these this year but the result of material lost many years ago as you said.
Oh gosh this brings me back to my childhood.. I just loved everything about this window of time.

La música Disco te mantenía en forma eran horas y horas de bailar sin parar, mejor que un gimnasio
Extraordinario programa de televisión, el día de ayer encontré sus videos Stphen Taylor felicitaciones
Being from the UK haven't heard or seen this show before. It's excellent. I'm familiar with most of the songs growing up.
This is like a MILLION times better than SOLID GOLD or DANCE FEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow

In my heart, I know that at least some of these people here NEVER stopped dancing. In 2021, they’re just catching their second wind.

You should be lucky she gave you life at all. So damn ungrateful. Sheesh!

It's not that deep. Stop reading too much into the first line.
I didn't see this show in Denver.
Who is the lady singing Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Diane Steinberg-Lewis. She played Lucy in the movie, Sgt.Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The amount of cocaine used on that show was legendary.
So cool. About 5 years after this Shabba Doo would be starring in Breakin'. I totally forgot he was one of Jeff's dancers as he was a legendary Locker. I remember this show and another show from Miami called "Kicks" which also featured Jeff and some of these dancers.
