Rare! ‘Hullabaloo’ Color Footage…November 29, 1965

This was done in NBC Burbank’s Studio 1 with ‘Bonanza’ star Michael Landon as host and, sometimes, Go Go dancer. ‘Hullabaloo’ began as a half hour in black and white on January 12, 1965 and the first season ended August 31, 1965.

The second season brought an hour long color show that ran from September 13, 1965 till August 29, 1966. Only a few episodes have survived in color. All the rest of the episodes, including the first season, have survived only as black and white kinescopes. This is because NBC destroyed the tapes in the 1970s once Smith-Hemion Productions turned down the offer to take them into their possession. A sadly familiar story.

This is the show’s close, complete with credits and Johnny Holiday announcing. Paul Revere And The Raiders close out a the show that had featured The Byrds, Jackie DeShannon and David Winters.

    I’m sure I was watching that episode. My sister and I never missed it. It was our “appointment TV.”

    Was that directed by the same Bill Davis who worked on _Barney Miller_?

    One of the other saved color shows starred Jerry Lewis and featured his son Gary and his band The Playboys.
