Carlin, Mouseketeers, and Stooges...Oh, My!
Tonight, I continued the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives audio cassette digitization project, by converting the first two episodes of the flagship "Tape and Record Show" from season eight...
"The Tape and Record Show: Episode 455. Broadcast Friday, June 27, 1986 at 10:00pm central. Theme Music: Portable Radio(Daryl Hall and John Oates). "George Carlin At Carnegie Hall" - The raunchy comedian talks about such things as: the comedy profession, comedian health sweepstakes, arguments with breakfast cereal, plays on vocabulary, leftovers, food names, product opening instructions, news, dog and cat personalities, dog and cat anatomies. George concludes the show with an expanded list of the seven original dirty words.
The Tape and Record Show: Episode 457. Broadcast Friday, July 4, 1986 at 10:00pm central. Theme Music: Portable Radio(Daryl Hall and John Oates). "The Mickey Mouse Club" - Segments about the old west are aired. Featured are a 12 year old clarinet protege, a musical number with all the Mouseketeers, and an episode of "Spin and Marty" featuring Tim Considine. / "Girls and Boys"(Prince and the Revolution) / "The Three Stooges: Woman Haters" / "Goin' Down"(The Monkees) / "Line Up", "White Baby-Black Sheep"(Redd Foxx)."
Although there's a number discrepancy on these two "broadcasts", there isn't a missing episode between the two, it's just that already recorded episodes were "aired" out of order. Episode 456, the season eight "preview show", was "broadcast" two days before episode 455, thus making it the final episode of season seven. I transfered it to digital a few evenings ago. Season eight was also the season I finally switched to higher quality cassette tapes for the pre-edited "broadcast copies" of the flagship series, instead of using those el-cheapo three pack off-brand tapes. The two shows transferred this evening were on Sony HF-60 cassettes, although, given the source material, the episodes are still FAR from being considered "high fidelity".
Where else but a fake "radio show" would you hear the audio from a syndicated episode version of "The Mickey Mouse Club" and a couple of raunchy Redd Foxx stand-up segments in the SAME hour? Then again, "The Tape and Record Show" was never meant to be directed at kids. It was mainly meant to be a random "nostalgia fest".
