- Clips from the Sunday morning variety and interview series. These clips feature the original host, Bob McAllister. This show was similar to McAllister's previous show, Wonderama, which aired in the New York area and was syndicated to several major cities.
The show was later hosted by Michael Young, then Randy Hamilton. - บันเทิง
I remember watching this show!
I especially love "Dear Alex and Annie", the singing advice show for kids.
I remember back in the late 70s and early 80s. Every Sunday before church, I turned on my TV in my bedroom and watch Kids are people too.
You had a tv in your room? You were already "people" then.....
One of my favorite Saturday morning 80s TV shows I watched when I was a teenager
OMG, I've been looking FOREVER for this, the original KAPT theme with the original host Bob McAllister (RIP)! Thank you!!!!!! :D
Thank you Bob McAllister for realizing what is true. You inspired me to become a teacher and cultivate our youth into productive thinkers.
God rest your soul.
Too bad you have been fighting against the grain. Our school systems are a mess
Wow, I haven't heard this song in years!!!
I feel old because I remember most of the words. lol Thanks for the clip!!
This was my favorite show back in the day.
Wow talk about a blast from the past!
Watched it on Saturdays @ 7 a.m.on WLUC (Channel 6) from Marquette during my 1st half of High School when it joined the Program Schedule replacing Superfriends.At the start of my 2nd half of High School it would air for the last time.I hail from Escanaba,Michigan.Now residing in Bradenton,Florida.
Thank you 70sKidVid, this brings back alot of great memories.
OMG! I used to love watching this every Sunday AM! I didn't even go to church just to stay home and watch this show!
Bob McAllister was very good host on Wonderama and Kids are People Too, great kids show for all ages from five thru sixteen!!!
I felt he got a raw deal when he was fired from Kids are People Too after only two months on the air. He had numerous run ins with the producers and ABC over the approach to the show. He want the show aimed at younger children like Wonderama but the producers aimed the show at the teen audience. Bob would have had a long run on ABC if there weren't creative differences. That's also what cost him Wonderama after hosing the show for 10 years.
This was not Michael Young's only TV show. In 1982, he hosted the short-lived "Soap World" show, which talked about soap operas and the people in them. I recall it because the theme music was ripped from the 1970s game show, "Break the Bank."
I remember this song and Bob Mccallister! Lets not forget Chuck Mccann from Wonderama!
Chuck McCann never hosted"Wonderama"on a regular basis..he was a guest host..when Sonny Fox was on vacation..you're mistaking Chuck's version of"Let's Have Fun"with "Wonderama"..Ellie R.
Grew up with this and Wonderama in Washington DC. Fun to see it again. I remembered all the words to the song!
i love this show as a kid myself
@ 70sKidVid - Thanks for posting this. This theme had been in my memory for years! Corny, maybe...but back then corny wasn't a sin!
Great Show, Great song. Thank you 70sKidVid
Same here in Fort Worth. Untill in the early 80's (80 or 81) they show it on Sunday mornings!
I attended the very first 2 tapings of KAPT back in June 1978. Scott Biao was on the show along with his Mom and the Mom of 3 other stars. I'm trying to find a clip of that show but I'm not having any luck.
That's so cool. That would be awesome if you found it.
Loved this bit, loved Wonderama too, every sunday morning YEH
Wow, the guy singing sounds like he's drunk. Pulled him right out of skidrow and asked him to sing the theme song.
I was a person in the 70's too.
Me too!
I realise that. Willie Aames was a 2 time guest on both coasts (east-1978/west-1980).
Gotta get my 9 yr old to see this.
I'm singing along with Bob. Wacka-doo, wacka-doo!
God, I'm old!
I love the lounge singer theme song!
Randy Hamilton replaced Young around 1981. He came from the NBC soap, Texas.
Also, Willie Aames did a 2nd KAPT when the show moved to LA for one season. He also had his band (Willie Aames & Paradise) on the show.
Bob was the best!
I was a faithful watcher of the show, when it was shown on KTTV-11. McAllister made the show fun and related to the kids. When the show went to ABC, it lost lost a lot of the magic that made the show fun. Young and Hamilton couldn't relate to the kids. Bob was just a big kid himself, I had fun sing along with the show's songs.
I used to randomly sing the chorus of this song and I couldn't remember where it came from, Damn! Freakin wack-a-do! I'm old :(
I remember one with a little girl skateboarding. She went "chew the wall!"
Anyone seen the Erik Estrada disco dance episode
Friend and I were the volunteer dancers. Please post. Hard to find! #nostalgia
Hahahaha
i sang this song with chorus in elementary school
i wish I could find the episode where the Gretzky brothers played street hockey on the stage.
KTRK in Houston had the hour long version on Tuesday mornings @ 6:00 am. But finally moved to Sundays @ 6:00 am in the summer of 1979.
Houston also didn't have American Bandstand, it's the I-45 curse!
"Kids are People Too"??? Well the show had like 90% adults as the guests, so I guess they didn't take too much stock in their title.
Good 'ol youtube, makes you remember things you forgot.
In this case for me: that band with the two guitarists who used a trampoline in their act! They doubled for the Gibbs brother in that horrible "Sergeant Pepper" movie they made.
On KOPT they did a full song which I remember went on for a while and was pretty hard rocking...but that's all I can remember. I guess kids and the world wasn't ready--and still ain't--for trampoline somersaulting guitar heroes. Hendrix never did that!
They showed this in Dallas on Saturday morning instead of American Bandstand.
I played the piano on Bob's FIRST Wonderama...I would do (JUST ABOUT) anything to get my hands on that clip!!!!!!! :( Any suggestions??? Anyone???
I'm sorry Jujubeader..but Bob's very first hosting stint on"Wonderama"from the summer of 1967 doesn't exist..only a few clips from his shows exist.
hi. does anyone remember bob mcallister singing this song when he closed the wonderama show in 1973 or so? i was a kid then and cannot find that version anywhere on YT. it was a longer more rockin' version of this song. anyone have any ideas?
it's uploaded on youtube nowadays
There was a song used during competitions that, among other things, I think made reference to gars. Is my memory tricking me? Help me out here... :o)
I wonder whatever became of the trampoline rock band (seen @0:56). I would think that would get pretty boring pretty quick :-).
Haha AWESOME! I remember thinking even back then, why the hell is this guy carrying a ball around all the time, and why the hell does he even have a pouch on his belt for it. Who does that.
I remember WVUE in New Orleans wouldn't run this show and Bandstand.
WLUK in Green Bay (Home of the Packers) never ran that show,also Bandstand.Instead,it was their new Independent Station WLRE (Now WGBA) which aired on late 1980.
IS that Allan Sherman singing the theme song?
I remember "Cheap Trick" beingon this show and saying that "they picked their name randomly". Even as a kid,I knew they were LYING through their teeth...
...and the theme song was removed after his departure.
ABC television center in new York city . same stage of the $20000 pyramid game show.
Was that Mickey Mouse making a cameo appearance?
@UT00ber50 LOL ME TOO cheers
What's a wack-a-do? Great fleashback.
No. But, He took over after Bob left in the early 80s
It's Bob McCallister himself singit.
Kind of sticks in your head, too!
Poor Bob! He left because it wasn''t what he wanted to do.
A lot of people in the 70's considered kids a type of venereal disease...
wack a doo wack a doo
Back in the 70's,kids were thought to be a venereal disease.
Its true actually. Up until the early 80s, kids were an unappreciated demographic.It's what gave popularity to shows like the Monkee's etc. Save for cartoons, we really didnt have too much. It wasnt until the mid 80s when the video game and movie blockbuster market erupted did they realize we had alot of disposable cash.
Now there's nothing else and I'm too old to appreciate it. Go figure.
BTW: I didnt like this show. It was too goofy, even for me. I preferred Bugs Bunny.
this show apparently ran from 55 to 77
I wasn't a regular watcher of this show, but I rememebr watching episodes here and there. My interest in it was highest when Bob McAllister was host. I lost interest after he was fired. With all due respect to Michael Young (Bob's replacement) and Randy Hamilton (Young's replacement), they were not worthy successors to McAllister.
The problem with this series..was that it was aimed at teens..not little kids..Bob wasn't told..who the show's target audience was..and that created a problem for him..Mr.Young and Mr.Hamilton tried to host the show for teens..but..it still didn't work out and it finally went off the air in 1981.
No.
wack a doo
Quite possibly the dumbest theme song ever,wocka doo.
ALL these kid's are like in their 40's and have hemorrhoids !!
You know what the biggest cause of hemorrhoid's is? Giving birth to KIDS!
