I agree with the principle, but remember: Royalties! A pity somebody with money and a dedicated series couldn't pick up these shows and rerun them. METV wouldn't THINK of it.
@@sealyoness yes its a shame as of now doesn't look possible. I know Lennie Baker told me that he and Bowzer were really trying to get them on for their fans 🙏
@@sealyoness MeTV has started airing The Best of The Ed Sullivan Show, so...who knows? If some kind of agreement or arrangements can be worked out, we just might get Sha Na Na back on the air(can always hope, anyway).
well done. stumbled across this whilst trying to find a song to diss our Police minister with his " you must be asleep by 9pm". was going for "goodnight sweetheart"..... this is great. thank you for keeping the Bowser,Johnny and the boys alivexxxxxxxx
Night Court's Richard Moll in that Hubba Bubba commercial, along with Dub Taylor delivering the punchline! So, basically, two commercials with 'Bulls' in them during this episode.
I loved the Krofft shows! I always thought that Sha Na Na should have guest-starred on one of the networks' Saturday morning preview specials...or, better yet, hosted one.
Walter C. Miller’s lineage continues to this day with his son Paul Miller and daughter Deborah Miller and daughter-in-law Beth McCarthy-Miller all serving as directors.
This show ended after the 1980-81 season, although syndicated shows bicycled then and the shows might not have aired on the same week in every city, this is most likely a rerun broadcast. Dottie West as per IMDB was the musical guest on the (week of) 10/17/1980 episode. Bowzer's next TV gigs didn't have him as a greaser, as the host in the 1983-84 season of Pop N Rocker Game and the recently airing in reruns Match Game Hollywood Squares house
I remember watching the show in the evening on maybe Monday or Tuesday nights when I lived in the Detroit telly market. A move at the end of summer 1979 dropped me in a town where, without the motivation to read through the tv guide, I didn't find out for MONTHS that Sha Na Na aired early on Sunday afternoons. On weekend afternoons I always had things I'd rather be doing than watching tv, so I only saw one more show.
As a child, I thought it was embarrassing. Time might be a bit more kind. I can't see myself watching every episode, but I remember the opening and closing. It is nice to see it as aired, with commercials. Thank you.
If you slow down this clip, for one frame you can see 'Dirty Dan' McBride in the opening credits between Chico Ryan and Denny Greene; McBride had left Sha Na Na at the end of the third season (both the show and the group).
29:44, “This program was recorded and edited for broadcast at this time, why? SO THEY COULD BE DESTROYED IN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
15:02 - Time - with Bill Fiore, most famous for the "Hi, Guy!" Right Guard commercials, in which his apartment shared a medicine cabinet with the apartment next door---the home of a gregarious neighbour played by Chuck McCann.
Donny sang a great version of "Puppy Love"...not sure if the first two girls were really into it, but the third girl definitely was; she made eye contact with Donny and smiled.🌞 The fourth girl didn't even have to be walked to the stage; she ran right up there!(lol). Good for her! I wonder if any or all of them remember that special time in their lives?😊
Sha Na Na and Bowser are one of the earliest memories I have as a child watching this with my folks and never once saw it again until 2021. I hope i can wipe this show’s memory from brain for good 😩
If you listen to the lyrics it makes sense (smh). Don't make it weird dude, the singing was in front of a crowd of people and meant to be simply for wholesome fun.
Walkin' The Dog and Mustang Sally... sound an awful lot alike or it just me? These young girls are now in their early 50's. I'm sure this is a special memory they still talk about. I would also think the girls were not picked randomly ... you wouldn't want some kid deciding to be camera shy at the last moment. This show was corny but it was geared for kids. Five or seventy five you could watch this show. I loved it for the music but I still got plenty of laughs, too.
Ugh, this, Hee-Haw, and Laurence Welk were all variety shows I hated as a kid in the 70's. Maybe this format was a Boomer thing... now 40 years later and I just watched this again...still hate it. I was honestly more entertained by the vintage commercials than the actual show itself. Sorry guys!
I was a kid back then and loved variety shows - this, Donny and Marie, Carol Burnett, Sonny and Cher, even right on down to Shields and Yarnell, Captain and Tenille, and Tony Orlando and Dawn. And Muppet Show. But yes the corny humor goes back to the 50s - even Vaudeville. If I like the personalities involved and/or the musical numbers then it is all up my alley. But I totally get it not being some peoples cup of tea. Very nostalgic for me.
I've always enjoyed watching "Sha Na Na" every weekend! Thanks for sharing this wonderful memory! ❤❤❤❤
THANKS for leaving the old commercials in! It's entertainment now too!
Yeah, I'll say -- B.J. THOMAS!!!
I was 8 watching this with my grandma...Good memories
Me too! True story. Same age and everything 😁
Great show. I loved Sha na na as a kid n I love the chemistry with Bowzer n the gang
I never thought I'd see a full episode of Shanana! Thank you so much!!!💐
Those beer commercials were so great that I would have bought some if I wasn't 5 at the time!
I was alive back then, but how nice to have a reminder of what tv was like 40 years ago!
Thanks for sharing this ❤ lennie Baker is my best friend and it helps my grieving of his passing
My deepest condolences for the loss of your friend. He was one in a million💓
@@CoupedeVillefly thank you❤that he was. He had a heart if gold and so sweet
Wish there were more full episodes of this. Thanks for upping it
cheers
Thank you for uploading this. I wasnt alive to see this show when it first came out but its great to finally see a full episode.
I love the older commercials also. Funny I remember them.
My dad's favorite group.
One of the few bands from the 50's to remain popular for many decade after.
50’s??? What are you talking about? The band didn’t form until nearly the 70’s.
They should sell all the seasons on dvd of this show. I would buy it.

Two words "Royalty Check".

Watched them every week. Great show.
Used to watch this with my mom and dad when I was a kid.
well done. stumbled across this whilst trying to find a song to diss our Police minister with his " you must be asleep by 9pm". was going for "goodnight sweetheart"..... this is great. thank you for keeping the Bowser,Johnny and the boys alivexxxxxxxx
I remember that Bull commercial. That's great. Thanks for leaving the commercials in. 🙉🙈🙊✌🌼
"Don't say beer, say bull(bull!)...the Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull!"
@@DavidBDavis-lz7bt
Kool and the Gang was singing about that bull.
O yes. I remember that commercial
Many thanks for posting this my friend!
A rare full show, and thanks for it. Do you have any shows from the third season that you could upload?
Hell yeah man thanks. I've never found or seen any Sha Na Na out there in w/o/c land
Thanks for the upload !

I wish more full episodes were available to see.
Bowser in that wig looks like Howard Stern about 15 years later.
3:00 Hartman later played Talkatoo Cockatoo in "Zoobilee Zoo".
29:47, RIP Walter C. Miller, who directed shows for Sid & Marty Krofft, the Grammy Awards, the Emmy Awards and the Gaming Weekly Awards from 1984-92!

date added. Thanks!
30:12 - Pierre Cossette was also responsible for producing the annual Grammy Awards telecasts until his death in 2009!
That one Johnny looks exactly like Billy Crystal.
Did Sha Na Na air in the Detroit market on Friday's? I remember seeing them on Sunday afternoons. Very nice video. Loved the show and the commercials.

Better Loretta Lynn impersonator ever!
The set reminds me of Sesame St.

I thought the last girl was a professional actor, since she knew exactly what to do.

Bowzer flexing his noodle arms lol

You must be a Lawrence Welk man, huh?
@@rhughes1795 Lol
why is that dude at 24:00 singing to a child
If you listen to the lyrics it makes sense (smh). Don't make it weird dude, the singing was in front of a crowd of people and meant to be simply for wholesome fun.
Detroit 4 is no different than New York 4 it shows the same program and commercials I remember during the shows in 1979 or 1980.
The part where they're singing "Puppy Love" to those little girls was adorable.
No it was creepy af
Bowser cool. Everybody else is also. Just something about ole Bowser.
Where was DIRTY DAN?
He had to leave the group for unfortunate/ personal reason 😕
@@jessicaallen901 I'm curious, what was the reason?
Walkin' The Dog and Mustang Sally... sound an awful lot alike or it just me? These young girls are now in their early 50's. I'm sure this is a special memory they still talk about.

Funny tv series.
I assume the young girls are their daughters...we hope.
The staging of "Puppy Love" didn't age well. It wouldn't have been so creepy if those first two little girls hadn't looked so very uncomfortable.
This is WDIV 4, by the way, not WKBD.
Oops, corrected.
The big man is in the house! I found a Joker’s Wild on WDIV with commercials from October 1981 on imacjason’s channel.
@@nicka727 I've seen plenty of videos that TH-camr uploaded. Was impressed anyone recorded as much from my hometown as he did.
i remember Procter and Gamble sponsored this one..they must have dropped out.
The drag was surprising, even Dottie West could pass, she really brought the fish this episode!

probably the worse sha na na I ever tried to watch
