Whatever Happened to Shaun Cassidy - Teen Idol & Star of TV's "The Hardy Boys"

[@lalajohnson7194]

Why doesn't MeTv or another station air the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew shows for younger generations? It was good. It might get kids to read the books.

[@lovevideos93]

Tv land use to but the ratings weren't good enough I guess.

[@mel1nda12ax7]

Jennifer Adams: Yeah, TV Land USED to be a great channel, and they used to have a LOT of good shows, but in order to cater to the "young generation", they got rid of all their great shows and replaced them with '90s and 2000s crap.

[@dionneking8]

it dep3nds on who owns the rights...

[@vwank35]

You can buy the DVDs of The Hardy Boys. Shaun was my first teen idol, but I loved Parker, too. I still listen to Shaun’s albums through Spotify and a couple of CDs. I got to see him and David in Blood Brothers. I enjoy Shaun’s TV shows that he creates, and I’m so glad he finally has a big hit with New Amsterdam.

[@laurabeane8862]

I remember it briefly on Antenna TV because Jamie Lee Curtis stood out as a mean girl with frosted hair in that episode.

[@speshulk1976]

Shaun Cassidy is LIFE! Born in ‘67 The Hardy Boys started my life long love affair with dreamy Shaun. Then the self titled LP with the groovy poster included. I was an avid fan of American Gothic. I think it would be more populat today. Launching the careers of Sarah Paulson and Lucas Black. The show was amazing. Shaun is brilliant. Now with New Amsterdam his creativity just keeps shining brighter. This was a great video. Thank you!

[@jdsundstrom]

I totally agree that American Gothic (especially if released on Netflix, Amazon or Hulu instead of a network) would be much more of a success today.

[@lynn1464]

@@sheldonhartstein70 I wonder why they did not show us all the episodes.

[@sheldonhartstein70]

T Missing Link Videos CVS cancelled the series before they could show all of them. The DVD has every episode but in the same order as broadcast. The Show is also available on iTunes and again in the wrong order. To get the correct order, go to Wikipedia and look up the list of episodes. Again they are in broadcast order but if you look in the upper right hand corner of each episode you’ll get the production number which gives you the proper order.

Any chance of ever doing a tribute video of David Cassidy?!?!. I wish more people would have seen him for the talented musician he really was. His solo career in the RCA label from 75 to 77 was, to me, at his best, brilliant southern California sound. Hanging with the likes of the band America, Flo & Eddie of The Turtles, his producer Beach Boys, Bruce Johnston and beach boys drummer Ricky Fataar. The list goes on and on. I can go on and on as well. I appreciate all you do my friend! Rowland

[@bobdavis4848]

Hi Dave, great to see this feature on one of my favorite singers! As for “The Hardy Boys Mysteries” being popular enough to land on a Dynamite magazine cover, I think that had to do with their managers’ influence, too. “Da Doo Ron Ron” was a hit for The Crystals originally. As for the cover with Chewbacca, they called it a composite or some pre-Photoshop word back then. “Hey Deanie” was also an Eric Carmen song, and The Lovin Spoonful did “Do You Believe In Magic” first. My sister was also a big fan but she was disinterested when I gave her the "Under Wraps" album as she'd lost interest by then. Hey, I am really puzzled why you said Shaun’s two albums after “Born Late” were not hits instead of saying his next four albums after “Born Late” were not hits. Don’t you like his very different last album “Wasp” with Todd Rundgren and Utopia, and covers of David Bowie, Talking Heads, the Who etc songs? I always thought it’s amazing. Also what about his 1989 musical comeback with "Memory Girl"? In terms of acting, how about also his Golden Globe award--nominated 1979 TV movie “Like Normal People” with Linda Purl who was later on “Happy Days”? How About a “Whatever Happened To Linda Purl”? Or actresses Glynnis O’Connor or Lynn-Holly Johnson? Great work, have a super day! :-)

I watched Shaun on Hardy Boys and then i listened to his music. Both were awesome

[@808v1]

I loved this show, read all of the books when I was young...but this series was in reruns when I was a kid and had no regular time slot...so it was hit and miss on the weekend to maybe catch an episode at like 2 or 3pm Sat afternoon...loved the intro video clips and that maze miniature they had.

I do not remember much about this other than the Hardy Boy's and Nancy Drew was my sister's show.

[@MsDusty7771]

I got to see him in concert in Memphis loved it

[@bela516]

[@sallysue64]

Dude... if we would have known one another as kids... we would have been best friends! We have such similar likes for tv shows. I LOVED the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and Like you loved the crossovers! And I was pleasant surprised to see you had an issue of Dynamite magazine! I loved that magazine as akid. Hey Dave here is an idea... have you thought about doing a video on some of the kid/ teen magazines that were big during the time period you cover? It would be cool to see some of the covers with some of the stars of the 70’s and 80’s and how they look now. Just and idea. Great video.. didn’t know Shaun has done some of the tv shows you cited. Glad to hear he is doing well!

[@jdsundstrom]

Great idea, Mike! I’ll add it to my “to do” list.

[@jaimeogas]

It's good to know he had a decent career in show business instead of being thrown out into the street when he got too old like Leif Garrett.

[@bobdavis4848]

Leif Garrett's downfall was related to drugs, a car accident and other personal life / family issues, not age. Still I have all his albums.

[@strangebrew5545]

@@bobdavis4848 so true, unfortunately like David , Leif caved into the addictions, sorry I did not finish my comment earlier.

[@ojmccaf63]

Jaime Ogas or died like his brother

[@bobdavis4848]

@@ojmccaf63 Well Shaun is David's much younger half brother. At least David lived many more years than Andy Gibb did.

[@nancycallahan2905]

@@strangebrew5545 But, in David's case - how much of this was a result of a child dying from injuries at one of his concerts? With the Cassidy family history, they are predisposed for alcoholism, but knowing that a 14 year old girl died after watching your concert would be hard to cope with.

[@kirkhonore]

I wanted to solve mysteries with Joe, Frank and Nancy as a young kid and I want to meet Shaun just to get to know the man and learn from him. Thanks, Dave.

[@jdsundstrom]

I wanted to solve mysteries like the Hardy Boys when I was younger as well. 🙂

[@patrickmooney4135]

I loved the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and it couldn't get better than a cross-over episode. By the way, the original books are amazing. Thanks, Dave.

[@jdsundstrom]

Totally agree! And, you're welcome, Patrick!
