The marriage of rock and TV has never been a comfortable one. When I think back to Shindig and Hullaballoo of the mid-Sixties, I have to marvel at what fun they seemed at the time, how exciting it was to see the Stones and the Kinks and how we actually believed Sonny & Cher singing "I Got You Babe" were in puppy love just like us pubes watching. And I have to wonder if it wasn't the magic of the times superceding the (mixed) media or merely that Shindig's appeal has grown as it recedes through the rosy mists of nostalgia.
