My submission for #TVShowWayBackChallenge started by @saffisara . People are remembering their special shows from when they were young.
@enginewitty added the Music Way Back Challenge giving a combination of TV and Music.
The show that comes to mind is “The Ed Sullivan Show” where he hosted a variety of singers, dancers, comedians and all around good laughs. I remember he always pronounced ‘Show’ as ‘Shoe.’ His show was my opportunity to see what other teenagers were crushing on.
One Of Elvis Presley’s Famous Moves
The first time I saw Elvis or The Beatles was sitting in my parents living room watching the Ed Sullivan Show. Except for the news channel most shows came from the U.S.A.
The Ed Sullivan Show ran for 23 years from 1948 to 1971 - a record as the longest-running variety show in US broadcast history.
Ed Sullivan had vowed never to have Elvis on his show but decided later to pay $50,000.00 (unheard of amount to pay an entertainer in those days) for a few appearances when he saw how popular the singer was with the swaying hips and all.
Songs from when The Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show.
