I caught one small glimpse of a season two episode and that's all I've seen of this show. I realize that many of the songs chosen as Bandstand performances actually happened sometimes a few years after the timeframe in which the episode is supposed to take place, but that doesn't really bother me (since I'm young enough to generally not be able to tell which song is out of place). I'm usually a sucker for any 20th century period piece (Wonder Years, Freaks & Geeks, Quantum Leap, etc.), especially those in which music plays a huge role. Looks like it will be kind of expensive ($70 at B&M's, $62 at Amazon), but I'm willing to take the plunge as soon as I see some good reviews for it. Anyone seen any reviews for this yet?
I'm also wondering if the show does well enough on TV to last a while. It has been suggested that if not for the pull Dick Clark has, it wouldn't have lasted this long (now going into season 3). Not because it's a bad show, but because it airs on Sundays -- the most competitive night on television.
