Shame on channel 9 Orlando for airing only half of American Bandstand. Was this a
one time deal? I've never heard of a station airing only half of a program. 30 minutes
of Popeye might have been a better choice.

Google it. Weird! And somewhat creepy!

Check out snipets of it on You Tube - weird and yes, somewhat creepy!

I have no memory of this one, I guess I was just too little and my parents had me watch something else. And I am thankful for that because this cartoon is the stuff of little kids' nightmares!!!!
 
Ch. 9 wanted to get its wrestling show in before ABC took
over at 2; that was the reason "Bandstand" aired for only
30 minutes that day; Ch. 10, as I'm sure you noticed, carried
"Bandstand" for the full hour.

Yet their local counterpart, "10's Bandstand", was only 15 minutes, no doubt so they can clear Kiplinger's program before ABC Sports started at 2PM.

Kind of funny for the kids to come to the studio to dance for only 15 minutes.
