And now we have a special treat for the kiddies.

Those words were used to introduce the rock and roll or pop act on the show.

8pm every Sunday night if I recall correctly, the Ed Sullivan show was on the black and white TV in the living room.

My wife has found a channel that plays the reruns of the show. There was some corny no talent singers on that show. It seems like all the dregs of the entertainment world at the time made their way to the Ed Sullivan theater at some point.

There was a time when it seemed like every single show, someone was singing McAuther Park. I got so tired of hearing that someone left the cake out in the rain.

They always had the pop/rock singer/band the last act on the schedule. You had to sit through the not very funny comedians, the juggling, the acrobats, and the singers who were like fingernails on the proverbial chalk board before you got to the "good stuff" and they were all squeaky clean on a brightly lit stage with horrible looking stage props ..... All for two minutes and thirty-seven seconds of Happy Together, or Crimson and Clover.
