Dave Astor Show

Remember him? I do... The Dave Astor Show. A local teenage dance show produced and aired in Portland Maine on Saturday afternoons on WCSH television station (channel 6)

A dance show that featured local high shool teenagers dancing and lip syncing.

A local equal to American Bandstand.

Yes, wouldn't it be fun to see their archives...

My older sister was on the Dave Aster show, so this vid has a special meaning to me as my sister is no longer with us.

I loved seeing this! I was on Dave's show during the 1959/1960 season & adored Dave! He was so good to all his "kids!" I had transferred from Florida to SPHS my last year & a half of high school & being a member of his "family" was on the top of my favorite memories. I was so fortunate to be selected considering I was a senior & he preferred selecting freshmen or sophmores. Thanks for the memories !!!

Holy cow! That was an amazingly big production for WCSH. That's so cool that they had a program like that with the local young talent... they should do something liek that today. How I would love to go through WCSH's archives and see this kind of footage with those old kinescopes and all... man
