- Description
- Description
- It was the era of rock n roll - ducktails, pegged pants and beehive dos. And they all came together on "The Buddy Deane Show," Baltimore s legendary teen dance show. Six days a week and often two hours a day, Buddy Deane and his Committee Members --the privileged regular teen dancers on the show -- twisted, cha cha ed and Madisoned into area living rooms. "A Buddy Deane Scrapbook: Shake, Rattle & Roll" takes a nostalgic lookat a time when dancing on the show became the ultimate goal for many regional teenagers. Just to see a Committee Member on the street often left both guys and girls in palpitations. The Buddy Deane Show kids and its antics inspired filmmaker John Waters to create his memorable movie Hairspray, which went on to become a Broadway hit. With rare archival footage from those early years of 1957-64, the special looks at the stars who made appearances, from Frankie Avalon to Fabian to Chubby Checker, meets the people who created the program,and looks at why the show ended. But the most fun is seeing those kids whom Buddy Deane once called the nicest kids in town , describe an experience that many acknowledge were the best years of their lives.
