Great find and fun to watch for an old director. Two cameras with a director that knew the tunes. Nice staging of the singers and instrumentals moving in to the 77 as needed. Someone knew their staging. If you look closely at the corners of some of the shots you can see the IO orbiters in action. A little lense edge wanders in and out of view on the cameras.

Good ol' Huck thanks the host during the first commercial for being here "tonight" on a daytime show. The miracle of videotape. And $895 for a '57 Chevy? That would not buy you a NOS steering wheel for that car now.

I had a Huck at my station in Rockford, IL in the 70's. Parky Parkinson had a corner used car lot and was smart to tv. He rolled in once to tape a spot with a Dodge of some sort that had a rust spot the size of a cigar box on the camera side. The other side was worse. He slapped some of our white scenic paint over it and the RCA TK-42 never saw it.

And the first commercial for Huck runs three minutes! Must have been before the NAB code or FCC rules on timing of "non-program" material which became a two-minute limit.
