Ozzymandias speaks: I didn't realize how great Solid Gold was until it was gone. Countdown, great performances, comedy, videos and the Solid Gold dancers.
Also I realized how just how great it was when Hullabaloo came out on video a few years back. Even though I have a THING for cheerleaders, the Hullabaloo dancers were dorky compared to the scantly clad Solid Gold dancers. Also, why was the one girl on Hullabaloo in a cage? Was she THAT WILD? Also, the host (Heddy Lamar, Don Adams, Mickey Rooney or Jerry Lewis) should not be allowed to sing if that is not their profession (Jack Jones, Bobby Vinton and Brenda Lee could get away with it). Also they had the guest sing the top 10 hits of the week even if it wasn't their hit (Although I wish the Lovin Spoonful HAD recorded a version of Little Jimmy Dickens "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" and David McCallum's 'Yeah Baby's on "Agent Double O-Soul" must have influenced Mike Myers).
Ozzymandias has spoken!!!
