Similar to Shindig! it ran in prime time in contrast to ABC's American Bandstand.

I fought the law-and the law won. A really solid number.
Love the dancing girls and the music!
I loved the Bobby Fuller Four back in the early 60's. Very tight group, with a charismatic frontman. Weren't afraid to rock at that early time, flavored with just a touch of country.
Sure....1965 was so "early" ..there still hadn't been Elvis , Little Richard, The Beatles , Stones......you sure had to be brave "to rock" .
At least we can agree that the fact NBC didn't completely destroy this series like many of their daytime shows is just fantastic!
Not only the day time shows but also Johnny Carson's early 60's episodes.
"Hullabaloo" was originally taped and broadcast in color.
I believe some 65 episodes were produced. While all of them still exist, only three or four of them still exist on color tape. The rest exist only as black-and-white kinescopes.
@@altfactor Just 3 S2 1/2 hour episodes exist on color videotape now, and they're all included on the first tape & DVD sets of the series. Most of the other episodes like this one are on B&W kinescopes. I think that 3 episodes, including the single episode where The Beatles appeared, are still lost.
WOW he does sound like Buddy Holly! So miss music like this.Thank you
Bobby Goldsboro a few years before his huge hit "Honey".
I found Hullaballoo tedious at times, with the production dance numbers and the tepid groups like the Serendipity Singers. But I watched it for people like Bobby Fuller. It reminded me of some of the early rock and roll movies that were produced by older people who didn't really understand young people and rock and roll. Interesting to think that because of Sonny Curtis' relationship with Buddy Holly, "I Fought The Law" could well have been one of Buddy's recordings, had it not have been for Clear Lake. It would have sounded very much like Bobby's version.
Producer Gary Smith didn't have the same attitude Jack Good had with "SHINDIG!". He wanted "HULLABALOO" to appeal to a wider audience- including the adults who controlled the family TV sets......and he did have a variety show background (Gary previously produced "THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW"). He wanted more "established" performers [Steve Lawrence, Sammy Davis, Jr., Paul Anka, Jack Jones, George Maharis, et. al.] as guest hosts, and singers like Barbara McNair, Brenda Lee and Leslie Uggams [and The Serendipity Singers] to counterbalance the rock acts featured every week.
@@fromthesidelines As an aging boomer, I must confess that I am nonplussed to read that somebody thought the adults controlled the TV remote. All my life I've been told it was the kids, and that is why there was so much juvenile programming in the first two hours of prime time.
Bobby Fuller was murdered by a mob because he would not comply with what they wanted him to do work in the night clubs because they got him the record and I got him very popular with audiences
Wonder how long that little party at the end of the show, lasted? Bobby sure seemed to be having fun
The Bobby Fuller Four come on like a Hurricane of Excitement amid a sea of MOR. That A Go-Go segment is always the highlight of every Hullabaloo Show I've ever seen. And nice to see the end with a glimpse of Bobby enjoying the party.
Don't forget Jerry Miller who later formed Moby Grape...he was playing in the Four
Seeing Bobby just hanging enjoying the little party was my favorite part of this video !
I always wondered how long that little party lasted..?
An age ago a different America.
For a show that lasted only two seasons, Hullabaloo was pretty remarkable, and so is the dance segment at 11:40. I understand Patrick Adiarte was in both seasons, and Thomas A. Cahill in the other half of the show's longevity. There was a male dancer named Eddy, but I don't his last name. But for Patrick, Thomas and the other 12 dancers ( I think there were a total of 14 dancers throughout the two years ) and these preserved videos of the show, there's nothing HUB BUBbed about Hullabaloo...and that we can jump for joy about.
I just heard a very early recording on another video where Bobby Fuller is covering the song "California Sun" Unfortunately comments are turned off on that video so no one can leave a comment there. So just wanted to comment here to say that Bobby Fuller and his band do an ABSOLUTE FANTASTIC cover of that song. I had never head this version before and would love to find a copy of his recording of that song.
The Hullabaloo dance segment after 11:00 was done to an instrumental version of the Beatles, "Nowhere Man" from Dec. '65, on Rubber Soul.= album.
As seen on Mondays at 7:30pm(et).
Jump to Bobby Fuller at ~ 4:30
23:58- A week later, Peter Matz arranged and conducted the orchestra for Barbra Streisand's "Color Me Barbra" on CBS.
28:46- "This is Andy Williams. Join me and my guests, Pat Boone and Dick Shawn, on 'THE ANDY WILLIAMS SHOW'. Tonight at 9, 8 Central Time, IN COLOR- on NBC."
NBC ANNOUNCER: "Now stay tuned for 'THE JOHN FORSYTHE SHOW'- IN COLOR- next, on NBC."
OMG Bobby Fuller! Wow! What a total package massive talent! One helluva great lookin' lad at that. I think Fuller far more appealing than Eddie Cochran. But, I mean, America was crankin' on all eight in those days. I am not hip on the big NBC putting on this show. It's demonstrably pretentious and awful compared to the down-home honesty of "The !!! Beat" out of Nashville along with "Night Train."
FULLER was definitely influenced by BUDDY HOLLY.
22:58- Julie Bennett speaks for Playtex.
Was this in color?
Unfortunately no, but there is a colored video of them playing I Fought The Law on my other channel called MordoMarty
Yes, "HULLABALOO" was telecast in color- but for the most part, black and white kinescope transfers are all that exist, as NBC "wiped" the color master tapes of all but three of them (to reuse the tape stock for other programs) when they cleaned out their Fort Lee, New Jersey warehouse in 1973.
@@fromthesidelines I'm surprised kinescopes were still happening in the 60s. But if they re-used the video tapes, I'm glad at least these exist.
NBC primarily made "kinnies" of their "live" and videotaped programs for three reasons: 1) delayed telecasts for those affiliates who couldn't schedule them "live" (and didn't have videotape facilities); 2) fulfilling requistions {if anyone wanted a copy of a particular NBC show they appeared in, the network charged them several hundred dollars for a kinescope film copy}; and 3) for legal purposes {just in case the FCC or any other entity wanted proof of something concerning a certain program}.
My oh my......what a zombie presentation. For entertainment historical reasons still highly interesting just to see how pretentious some of these shows could be. "Shindig" by comparison looked convincing.
No surprise Hullabaloo was the only show that welcomed "The Hullabaloos" , an extremely "blonde" bunch of guys who liked to think they were part of the "British Invasion".
I was 13 when the show hit and I thought it was abysmal, with an occasional exception.
This is probably the most corny episode in the series. Also conspicuously absent are my favorite Hullabaloo dancers Michael Bennet and Donna McKechnie.
Producer Gary Smith was trying to appeal to all age groups with a "pop" version of "THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW" and "THE BELL TELEPHONE HOUR" {which, by the way, he previously produced}. He didn''t want the frantic, super-charged atmosphere of "SHINDIG!"- guaranteed to drive the "grownups" away from the family set- so he tried to feature "middle of the road" and "adult" performers (and hosts) to compliment the rock artists. That approach didn't always work.
I hate to be such a nattering nabob of negativity, but seeing this reminds me how unhip this show and Shindig really were. There was occasionally a act, but it was mostly B-list cornballs who hadn't yet washed the grease out of their hair, especially the hosts--they were almost as backwards then as they are now. Bobby Goldsboro--please! Linda Bennett--Who? More like 40's than 60's; she was a complete unknown and remained one. There never was a time when anyone cared for the schmaltz those house band singers made. That existed only as filler for tv shows like this. As a 13-year-old dork kid, even I know those days were coming to an end. The Beatles and Stones came along and made all that crap disappear for good. Thank goodness.
I think Bobby was better than Buddy Holly and the band was tighter than his.
got be the worst Hullabaloo ever!
