What Was A Variety Show? A Dirt Nap City Dead End
Description
If you remember the early days of television, then you surely remember the variety show! From Ed Sullivan in the 1950's to Donny and Marie Osmond in the 1970's all the way up to Pink Lady and Jeff in the 1980's, variety shows had something for everyone in the family. Some were silly, some were serious, and some were just stupid - but if you ever hummed along to the singers on Hee Haw, you remember what fun variety shows could be. Join us as we take a look at brief history of the variety show and ponder if the genre could ever make a come back.
