Such an amazing show from the 60s. Unlike other related music shows from this decade that frequently wiped the masters, leaving very little to see, Hullabaloo has been fully archived, meaning you can see all the greats from that time. From the dancers, to the eccentric sets, the entire show is just amazing.
I wasn't born when this show originally aired on NBC, nor was I even from U. S., but it is definitely one of my favourite shows to watch. The only way to watch this now is either on the Internet or on DVD, but I personally think Hullabaloo should be on streaming services or aired on television. The only problem about the show isn't even the show itself, but the fact that the vast majority of the shows original colour tapes were wiped, and most of the episodes (with the exception of three) survive as low-quality black and white kinescopes, so we can't see its bright and colourful surroundings, but at the end of the day, it's better than nothing, the fact that all the wiped episodes had copies was great considering the wiping policies back then.
Hullabaloo is one of the greatest music shows of the 60s, if not ever.
