Your Top 3 Music-Based TV Shows of All-time?

[Beau Vine 54843]

 

1.  Soul Train -- I pity anyone who doesn't have this #1

2.  Hee Haw -- I don't even like country music, but the cleavage was greater than any show ever.  Misty Rowe, Barbi Benton, etc.

3.  Sonny & Cher -- this one took a lot of thought, but Cher was really talented and hot back then, and they had surprisingly good comedic instincts.

Also considered: Solid Gold, the Captain & Tennille Show, the Starland Vocal Band Show, Cop Rock

I think they had about 4 episodes.  Go to about 6:00 to see David Letterman:

Don't know how I didn't think of that.  Also, I'd like to redo my list to put the Partridge Family #3.

any list not featuring "kids incorporated" is lazy, and bordering on offensive.

May be cheating but Headbangers Ball.

[Iceman 2795]

Solid Gold

American Bandstand

Donnie & Marie and The Lawrence Wek Show( both were brutal but always had hot chicks)

I actually enjoy The Voice.  Don't really like Blake Shelton, but like how cool John Legend is.  I like the concept of the judges having to buy in on the performer without seeing them first.

This.  I can't imagine ACL not being the the top of the list.  

[Underdog 28870]

American Bandstand

Midnight Special

Hee-Haw -  mainly for the previously noted cleavage but also for the corny jokes and Roy's guitar/banjo playing. 

[RPM 26428]

For live performances:

Hee Haw

Johnny Cash Show

ACL

SNL

 

Honorable Mentions (scripted):

The Monkees
