Hadn't ever heard of Sunni Walton before.... Wow! Really talented.

[@joemug4079]

Wow! Joey Heatherton was incredible!

[@markgiardina1303]

Don Knotts made "The Andy Griffith Show" so entertaining. Even Andy said that. Barney Fife will go down in television history as one of the most iconic characters ever.

[@halseyknox]

Thanks for posting this ...I'm a child of the 60's but I dont remember this show but, some memories fade. Sunni Walton......I dont remember her but she nailed Margaret O'Brien( I re-ran that 4 times) then had me in tears singing opera....to me she was the stand out of the show( sorry Joey)....her impersonation of Eartha Kitt was dead on to but, I cant help thinking what were the producers of " Batman" thinking when they picked her to replace Julie Newmar to play catwoman🤔..... or was it Lee Meriwether she replaced? Like I said some memories fade😥

[@milart12]

Wow, they sure packed a lot of entertainment in an hour.

[@hrhbear]

I always felt I was watching the same old dance but with a different song all the time.......

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

I was only 3 when this aired, but I do miss the days when the variety show was KING!

[@jcohen1947]

Fantastic house band. What a great arrangement of sly stone.

[@georgesheehan7541]

Thanks for the memories!

[@hollywoodpalace3308]

My pleasure, George-- glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@jehobden]

This was the 2nd-to-last show. Bing Crosby hosted the series finale a week later.

[@patrickdowling529]

Rentzel was actually talented. What a sad ending

[@williamrowlett740]

Halfway through the show, Lance Rentzel appears in a tux and plays the organ. He looks just like "Lurch". Ouch!

[@orbison]

The last regular episode of Hollywood Palace.

[@trentaccid2177]

Was it really I noticed the hollywood Palace sign looked different.

[@trentaccid2177]

LIVED JOEY HEATHERTON SHE SANG A GREAT VERSION OF GONE

[@will89687]

We can enjoy the show now, but you can see why the show was cancelled at mid-season - an alarming number of commercial spots were unsold and filled with network promos.

[@jmccracken1963]

Well, it had run its course - after 6 1/2 years on ABC.

[@WaltGekko]

This was in fact the last regular episode of the show. What aired a week later was a retrospective on the entire series. The real problem was, even by this point, the show was no longer attracting big name musical artists (this would also lead to the demise of The Ed Sullivan Show a year later). By this point, artists were beginning to regularly play at much bigger venues than in the past and were making far more money as a result, eliminating the need to appear on these type of shows.

[@halseyknox]

Will, this was the 60's and a 6 year run is respectable don't you think? Anyway I get a kick out of revisiting the 60's, commercials as well

[@halseyknox]

​​​@@WaltGekko....any relation to Gordon? If so tell him to burn in hell 😁...that was fun watching but like I posted don't remember the show but a six run is respectable to say the least

[@jehobden]

9:30 McCall & Brill had a chance to make up for their bad experience on Ed Sullivan's show (when the Beatles premiered) here. I thought they were very funny as a celebrity couple on TATTLETALES.

[@sweetypie9711]

Heart breaking to know that only after 9 months of marriage at the time this was filmed 10 months later Joey Heatherton would find out Lance Rentzel would be arrested and plead guilty to exposing himself to a 10 yr old girl. Understandably Joey was devastated and divorced him the following year. Joey is such a vivacious and beautiful woman and feel sad her dreams of a future family and life with her husband were crushed in such a way 😥 Always thought she was so underrated considering how talented and attractive she was 😍🥰

[@kevinvanmeter2264]

Joey has been a reclusive ever since.

[@scallaghan2118]

Yes, he ruined her career. How sad. She was so talented, and he was talented also, but geez, he was also, what can I say, he seriously needed mental health counseling.

[@SaleGuy]

Charlie Brill had a close encounter with John Lennon on Ed Sullivan six years earlier. Charlie and Mitzi are great game show players.

[@juanmonge8]

the guy in the first sports commercial was Ron Carey who was the detective want to be on " Barney Miller "

[@jmccracken1963]

And the narrator of that commercial was William Schallert - who, between movie and on-screen TV appearances, made a good living announcing on TV and radio commercials. Any idea who the woman was in the ABC Sports commercial? She looks awfully familiar, but I can't figure out who she is.

[@juanmonge8]

Before there was Viagra there was Joey Heatherton.

[@Kuntyful]

you're telling me!...

[@rickrichmond1406]

She was a definite hottie.

[@philiphoward1731]

I’m looking at Joey Heatherton I don’t need no Viagra send thing happens when I watch Taylor Swift

[@pinedelgado4743]

OMG!

[@trentaccid2177]

LOVE DON

[@theanti-racismrant8604]

I do too.

[@pcno2832]

Goldsboro did a good job with both Proud Mary and Everybody's Talkin, but I wonder why he wasted the opportunity on 2 covers; I'd think he'd have a new single to promote at this time.

[@forreal245]

Hard to believe that D Knotts was a "lady's man". Nice performance by Joey H.

[@pcno2832]

35:12 "a moment of crisis"? Wow, Barney didn't know the half of it. Anyway, it's more than a little unusual to see an NFL player who can also sing and play keyboards; what a loss it must have been for everyone involved.

[@MovieJon]

A dancing, opera-singing impressionist....! She was really going for broad appeal, but maybe ought to have concentrated on one of the three. LOL

[@cynthialyman2636]

I had forgotten how sports dominated the network on the weekend, and why my mom always had other plans and television was basically nonexistent during this time: truly there were always drawbacks as far as someone went.

[@edwardanthony7283]

Not bad & they saved Bobby for last.

[@SheltonWalden]

Lance & Joey later got divorced because he got arrested for exposing himself for a second time.

[@zulu0219]

Yeah 9 months after this show aired he exposed himself to a 10 year old girl.

[@willminkorea2010]

17:40 Baja Marimba Band Hey Jude

[@trentaccid2177]

DON HAD JUST COME OFF OF DOING THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN.

[@tomservo56954]

That was four years earlier...I believe his most recent film at the time was THE LOVE GOD?

[@philiphoward1731]

I like the idea of having a full size doll she was very very funny she and her husband

[@dttruman]

"Mitzi McCall & Charlie Brill (comedy team)" were right up there with Stiller and Meara.

[@curtymoto]

More cowbell! 😂19:08

[@Zacheryalderton-ln8gs]

Final season

[@rickrichmond1406]

For merely scientific reasons, I would like to subject Joey to a umm.. few umm… tests.

[@thomasmulligan5304]

Vino Venito.

[@willminkorea2010]

Bobby Goldsboro 52:30

[@argelbargel7680]

Ol' No Pants Lance.

[@johnspina6729]

The problem with Rentzel was overexposure.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

I should say so.

[@jerryrichardson2799]

Tacky, but voted up!

[@zulu0219]

Entertaining but very poorly produced as far as the talent's potential,lip syncing, settling for mediocre performance choices. Could have been done much better!!
