Hey Steve H,
SHEBANG, with host, Casey Kasem, was one of the first shows I worked on at KTLA in 1965. We did videotape it for limited syndication, but it was a live show every late afternoon following our early live newscast on the same stage. Just turned the TK-41's 180°, to the Shebang set, during the 2 minute station break. This was one of the last back to back live TV we did. The crew did enjoy watching the mini skirted, under age, teeny-boppers. The Jackson 5, The Monkees, Sonny & Cher among many others were featured on the show. KTLA had been using both b&w then color video-tape as soon as the technology was available. Even so, they still produced 2 one hour variety shows, live in color, each weekend until 1966. One included live commercials. They both went to videotape shortly thereafter.
