TV's Grooviest Variety Shows (of the '60s and '70s) is an irresistible page-turning account of TV's greatest and goofiest variety shows of the psychedelic 1960s and '70s. Designed to be browser-friendly, the book covers the main shows of the era—Ed Sullivan, Lawrence Welk, Dean Martin, the Smothers Brothers, Laugh-In, Flip Wilson, Sonny and Cher, Midnight Special, classic Saturday Night Live (1975-80), SCTV, and The Muppets. Each of these key chapters is fast-moving and fun, with quick, easy-to-skim sidebars like "Memorable Moments," "Quotable Quotes," and "Bloopers & Breakups," plus a brisk narrative of the show's behind-the-scenes dramas, cast, and history.
