Album Description
Remember the days when Kate Hudson's mom was the next big thing? The days when you could say Dick on TV and mean it? The days when TV was veeeery interesting? You bet your bippy you do! Well now those days are back - sort of. If only for a half-hour, you can now relive the golden age of Goldie Hawn (and her riotous gang of funny friends) on this soundtrack to one of the most varied variety shows to ever grace the little screen. From a Russian rendition of Mame, a chorus line of joking judges, a heroic march for barn animal rights, and a truly laughable lyric line to a newscast that admits to predicting the news before it happens, it's all here. Even the infamous joke wall makes an invisible appearance or two. 13 tracks.

taking 1 star away because I am picky! August 8, 2003

I have the original LP of this CD. It sounds great, don't get me wrong but the first track is cut in the intro! "Collectables Records" shame on you!

This Epic Spotlight anthology of bits and pieces from perhaps two or three episodes shoehorned a visual phenomenon onto LP, the unaccountably popular NBC success of 1968, a rapid-fire grab bag of stupid jokes, catch phrases and occasional "satire" recited by a phenomenal cast (and I include Dan and Dick, though in retrospect they seem the least talented of all). That the show inspired "Sesame Street" and "Hee-Haw" (and alas, the ever-tiresome "Saturday Night Live") does not make this CD less historical, or more hysterical. Would the show's producers had attempted an original comedy album rather than getting out the VTR and the scissors; the less-than-optimal sound and fake stereo canned laughter (!) show just how cheap and easy it was. And face it, neither the approach nor the jokes hold up; what's more it's painful to think of the humiliations poor Judy Carne faced for being the "Sock It to Me" Girl, and how Arte Johnson wasted his career on game shows and voiceovers. They were much too talented to deserve it; but where was the place for them?
I've seen only fragments of the show since its hey-day, most recently an edited version of end credits on YouTube, and on video it holds up better thanks to the roaring camaraderie, so perhaps a brand-new recording wouldn't have worked. It's still a shame no one tried.
P. S. Kevin Stafford very observantly notices the missing fragment of opening music, but this is par for the course with Collectables, which didn't credit Jonathan Winters on "It's So Peaceful in the Country/European Holiday" and did less than a favor to Doris Day on "Billy Rose's Jumbo", and which indeed seems uncomfortable with anything that isn't doo-wop. Blame the now Sony Music too; these are all its licensed goods.
