  • I was on the show with a few other high school kids and it was great! What is and isn"t cool is all relative.

  • I once watched this show (when I was a child) and my parents thought it was terrible muck. Now I think it is terrible muck. Guess I have gotten old!

  • What the youth today may not understand is that Thaxton taught us to watch and listen and to immitate respectably in lip sync, so we learned to play music by his good example. I don't think many kids today are learning much past pushing buttons on ipods. My brother and I made cardboard mock guitars, lip sync-d to Bealtes records. Other local friends did this with us, some of them went on to become great local blues musical performance acts and master musicians. I in graphic astronomy arts on CD

  • I am very sorry, but I loved this show and watched it every night.

  • @1979cl1 I think some of the disparaging comments here are very unfair. I also remember enjoying this show as a child and compared to the other shows on daytime TV it was wonderful. I still remember one of Thaxton's opening lipsynch routines to Oscar Brown Jr's "But I Was Cool". How hip was that for daytime local TV? Thaxton and Dobie Gillis were as hip as it got on daytime TV back then.

  • Lloyd Thaxton show was 'ORRIBLE !

  • @TeenCretin Amen!

  • @TheTwd1211  Back then, just about everything was made in the USA

  • That is some bad dancing, I must admit, but still fun to watch.

  • Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame, was quoted as saying.. " When i was a kid in the 60's , i watched the Lloyd thaxton show a couple of times and that was my first exposure to California culture. I had thought , These kids are geeks. they cant dance, thy're ugly, the're fools and they dont know how to dress.

    "Slowly hanging out in Los Angeles in the late 70's i began to realise that i had been right as a kid '.

    Judging by that show i would say that daryl was dead right !
