Zuke Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Hi Everyone,Does anyone remember a Saturday morning television show called "HOTDOG?" I swear that's what the show was called. Anyway, they would do mini documentaries on how, for example, a baseball bat was made, and they would have comments by people like Woody Allen and JoAnn Worley. Well I remember them showing in the studio with the Raspberries doing things from "Fresh" and the song "Tonight." Does anyone know about this? Is it available?Does anyone have it? I'm a Raspberries fan from way-back when I bought a bootlegged 8-track on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. The best $1.39 I ever spent!

Matthew C. Clark Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I saw the reruns of the series "Hot Dog" when I was in the 4th & 5th grades back in 1976-1977 when they had those films which was called NBC (something) Enterprises printed in dark blue. Not to mention funny man Johnahan Winters who was also on the series. NBC had a show called "GO" back in 1973-1975 on Saturday mornings. NBC also had a show called "Take A Giant Step" (not the Monkees song from the debut album) back in 1971-72. They changed the name to "Talking With A Giant" back in September of 1972-73 but the show was ignored by young viewers. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadfingerBarb Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I remember "Hotdog". They may have shown segments on "Hotdog", but the Raspberries film you most likely remember is their appearance on "Flipside". They had footage of the band doing "Tonight" and "Drivin' Around" in the studio. It had interviews with Jimmy Ienner about the band. It was someone's birthday (Dave's???) and a cake was brought out which led to a food fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I've got a copy of the tape from that Flipside episode , with the Raspberries. It's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 The incredible thing about the flipside session is the way "Tonight" and "Go all the way" sounded.Incredible...both were slower "harder" edged versions of these classics. Wally is just ripping through these live versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
