Why The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show might be annoying
It went from a one hour Wednesday evening show to a half hour Saturday morning show, which any way you look at it is a demotion.
The emu puppet's shtick was attacking everybody on the set.
It recycled Cookie Bear (a dude in a bear suit) from the old 'Andy Williams Show.'
The brothers sang bubble gum tunes on the show.
Nobody on the show moved on to what could be called a stellar career, with the possible exception of Langston, who became The Unknown Comic.
It lasted just 17 episodes.
Why The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show might not be annoying
It was a fun, light-hearted, good-natured show that attracted kids and kid-at-heart adults.
The brothers convinced CBS programming director Fred Silverman to give them a show after a song and an improv Three Stooges routine.
After their first show CBS head honcho William S. Paley called Silverman and told him the show was 'the best television show he'd ever seen.'
Brett's alter ego on the show, basement dwelling kid Chucky Margolis, had a large cult following.
One of the songs sung on the show, 'So You are a Star,' a song penned by Bill about his then wife Goldie Hawn, reached #21 on the Billboard Singles chart in 1974.
Rod Hull died in 1999 when he fell off his roof installing a TV antenna.
