Info about The John Gary Show

[searadiofreak]

When I was a very young kid (probably 6 or 7), my parents liked watching "The John Gary Show". I believe it was a musical variety show. What made it interesting to me was I distinctly remember the show liked to show "backstage" angles, often showing the cameras, monitors, and other technical equipment in the on-air shots. Am I hallucinating? I've wondered about this show my entire life, as it helped form my interest in broadcasting.

In New York, his show was carried for awhile on WPIX Channel 11. (No surprise there, given that WPIX was, and is, WGN's sister station.)

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure it was the CBS summer replacement that I am remembering. Does anyone else recall the backstage look of the show?
