37229	What song are you listening to?	By the end of the 1960's CBS owned Saturday Mornings with top rated superhero cartoons leading the way - and hate mail from children's television "watchdog" organizations like, "Action for Children's Television - ACT", as one example.<div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">By 1970 the pressure on CBS, and the other networks, was so great that "non-cartoon" entertainment was being produced and promoted from every content provider back in the day. But the question was, "what will the kids watch that will win parental approval?"</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">How about music and comedy? <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Remember "Hee-Haw" and "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour"?</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Well the same studios that make primetime television can easily come up with SatAM shows that are kid friendly, afterall it was the 1970's, <i>don't cha' know!</i></span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This rare clip is from the 1977 SatAM comedy series, "<b style="font-style: normal;">WACKO!</b>", starring a cast of stand-up comedians - like Charles Fleischer, (<i>the voice of Roger Rabbit in the 1988 movie</i>).</span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Dwight Twilley was best friends with Tom Petty and they both made careers in music. This is the "Dwight Twilley Band" as guests on WACKO! - the Saturday morning comedy show that only lasted one season on CBS. Think of WACKO! as a morning version of SNL:</span></div><div style=""><br></div> <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d1wSEhjFWaE?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br></div>"WACKO!" wasn't alone in trying to shake-up Saturday Mornings on CBS.<div><br></div><div>Here's the intro to, "<b>The Hudson Brothers Razzle-Dazzle Show</b>", from just a couple of years earlier.

I don't know if you guys realize how beloved Cookie Bear became. He began as an innocent comedy skit but was so popular as a regular feature that Cookie Bear may have helped extend the run of "The Andy Williams Show" into the 1970's - long after Andy's singing style was well out of favor!<div><br>  <div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9W9t3p1Pk5s?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div>	eddstarr	Aug 28, 2017
