Hullabaloo, Vols. 1-4 description The short-lived (1965-66) Shindig! knockoff Hullabaloo epitomizes the often-faltering steps U.S. network television made to keep up with the explosion of rock & roll culture in the wake of Beatlemania. Sometimes inspired, sometimes silly (definitely the latter with hosts and guests like Jerry Lewis, Michael Landon, Freddie and the Dreamers, and Vikki Carr), seven episodes plus bonus performances fill this DVD compilation of previous VHS releases. Over its four and a half hours, in black-and-white and color, true rockers ranging from Chuck Berry, the Lovin' Spoonful, Martha and the Vandellas, and the Animals slam into the slightly clueless (Chad & Jill) and the utterly hopeless (Joanie Sommers, Frankie Avalon, the aforementioned Freddie). Moments of irrepressible pop genius (Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar") and sheer drama (Dionne Warwick's "Message to Michael") make this a must, though. Throw in a bit of apparent collusion between an NBC director and Byrd Roger McGuinn as he aims the "Your sons and daughters are beyond your command" verse of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" in extreme close-up to millions of American parents, and Hullabaloo's ultimate success is demonstrated. --Rickey Wright |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | No Joey Heatherton!!! :-( |
| These dvd's are great, but I am unhappy with the fact that the one episode I remember most is not included. I think it first aired in January 1965 and featured a dance by the spectacular Ms. Joey Heatherton. I was watching it with some teenage friends of mine (we were all about 16 years young), and when Joey came on and the cameraman zoomed in on her...OMG!!! We all sat there with our mouths open!!! That's all we talked about in high school for days!!! If any of you know about this Hullabaloo episode becoming available on dvd PLEASE let us know!!! | |
