My grandparents watched it but I do remember it being on when I was over their house in the 70s as a kid. I want to say it was early Saturday evening?

I grew up with Solid Gold which was blown apart by MTV.

Solid Gold was lip-sync. I had a crush on the Solid Gold Dancers lol

Don't know if you were old enough to remember the Ed Sullivan show, but All of the musical acts appearing on it sang their songs live... That's how the Doors got themselves banned from it; and Mick Jagger famously gave an eye roll when singing Let's spend some time together...

Thanx for dredging the memory banks...now I got that facacta mouse Topo Gigio running around inside my head going "Eddie....Eddie!!!"
 
My mom Loved to watch Lawrence Welk, late afternoon or early evening on Saturday...or was it Sunday?

Solid Gold was ok, though I preferred Soul Train... American Bandstand was ok too, though I believe the acts that appeared on it all lip-synced their songs...?
Soul train loved it ....

This is the big problem. I actually see him as a key to everything going on with the team. I mean, if he and Gonzo lock down the outside with JJones taking the slot, we can unleash havoc with Dugger, Peppers, Phillips and Mapu covering everyone else (TEs and RBs). Let Judon, Uche, Barmore and Wise pin their ears back knowing the back end has it covered.

But Jack Jones is a damn key to all of this.
For this reason i am perhaps more forgiving than most of this instance.

SNL is the same. It certainly separates the men from the boys in terms of playing.

Before my time but have watched the show on youtube. Man he landed great talent. You were someone if you were on the Ed Sulllivan Show

And don't forget Quincy Mass' own Bill Dana as Jose Jimenez, made famous in the movie The Right Stuff...

During the 1960s, it was must-see tv in our household every Sunday night, though for most of that time if Monday was a school day we kids never saw all of it, probably just half of it, similar later on to the first few years of Monday Night Football because of its 9pm kickoff...

Proof that the concept of time & space for a single-digit midget was still developing: When it was announced at the beginning of one particular show that Spanky & the Our Gang were going to perform, I asked to stay up until they appeared because I ass-umed that these were the same kids as those from the Little Rascals shorts - you know, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, Porky, Darla etc... Needless to say, I was incorrect in my ass-umption...

Captain, you're on the clock!

Sorry, draft business. Carry on

I had two old aunts that lived with us when we were kids, always watched the Ed Sullivan show and Lawrence Welk. Shirley Temple movies were my aunts favorite on Sunday Afternoons, as long as she made her peanut better fudge I was happy.

This made me think of the first time I begged Mom and Dad to let me stay up. 1978 ... Kiss meets the Phantom of the Park. On TV.

Even at 8 years old I questioned my choices in life.
 
Big Kiss fan, seen them 4 times I believe, and remember watching that show in one of the rooms of our barracks at NAS Memphis TN with other fans... We knew it was gonna be crap, but we had to watch - it was, like, our duty - and most of the time we just talked about their albums, songs & shows while one of those albums was playing, Destroyer &/or Love Gun probably... I ended-up seeing them in August of the following year, just days before my schooling was complete, at the old Mid-South Coliseum downtown during their Dynasty tour... Good times, good times...

So much about the old economy was not about talent but about who controlled the distribution of information. I doubt Ed Sullivan would even have a successful podcast today.

It was a really big shew.
 
My father was a state cop...he'd MAKE me stay up and watch this show every week...

Yep.

With social media today giving artists the ability to connect with fans directly, he'd have a tough time having the level of control he had then no question.
