Also featured are the classic sketches that were a special part of the show, including 'Chucky Margolis', the kid who lived in the basement of his own house. The Hudsons performed songs from their current album released at that time, 'Hollywood Situation', featuring the hit single, 'So You Are A Star'.

Although it lasted for only a total of 16 episodes, the series was very entertaining, featuring a unique cast of supporting characters. In September of that year, CBS presented 'The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show', a half-hour program filled with music and comedy, and shown on Saturday mornings. They were Bill, Mark and Brett - the Hudson Brothers. The summer of 1974 saw a popular trio emerge onto the American music scene. The material is imaginative but can be a bit overwhelming in one setting as some of it is dated and much of it somewhat grating for adult viewers. Stretched across three generous DVDs including bonus tracks, this huge package has a lot to offer and, yes, their biggest hit, 1974's 'So You Are A Star', is included. The Beatles/Monkees influenced tunes provide a much needed break from the spitfire pace of all the action - and may be the most appealing aspect of this treasure trove of lost television.

Bill, Brett and Mark exhibit their impeccable vocals on the lip-synched renditions of their music - always with matching clothes, three guitars and sugary sweet vocal stylings. There's plenty of fast-paced action shots and tons of insanity which subsides somewhat when the brothers perform their pop songs. These shows are very colorful, the 1974/1975 program dipped in pastels and even psychedelia from eight years prior, though the wardrobe and haircuts put the boys smack dab in the middle of the 1970s. Even Andy Griffith and Danny Thomas in their interesting guest appearances slip into over the top performances which appear geared towards adolescent minds that need larger explanations of the skits.

This collection of TV episodes from The Hudson Brothers' Saturday morning television program is chock full of slapstick comedy for kids, the talented trio and their cohorts engaging in very pronounced Vaudeville, think ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH IN for the younger set.
