How about "Check It Out" with Don Adams??? Man, that was dreadful.

Billy Van in both "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein" and The Party Game. I think that they were both done at CHCH in Hamilton.

CHCH also did a short lived show called "In Session" if memory serves me correctly. It was just featured musicians jamming in a studio, no audience if I recall. There was one episode that had Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King. Albert was great, while they were playing he would stop to relight the pipe that was clenched between his teeth. Stevie had not hit the bigtime yet. It was a good show. There was another that featured Johnny Winter & Doctor John. I called CHCH a few years ago to see if they had footage of the show. They didn't, it had been sold to someone else years earlier and the guy I was speaking with didn't know where it was. I think I saw the SRV & Albert King episode released on DVD a couple of years ago.
