I, for one, raised my kids watching that show. Those musicians kicked some massive ass although most of it was pretty vanilla and toned-down. I was more interested in introducing them to big band kind of music.
That's good to see.
@sean92008 I used to watch it as a kid in the early 70's, and throughout the years, with my Grandmother and my Mom. As I grew older I learned to appreciate the music and talent more. You are correct in stating the musicians kicked some massive ass. Nearly every show was live and there wasn't a hiccup. Just tight performances.
My routine for quite some time has been to tune in on PBS at 7:00 pm EST every Saturday while kicking back in my recliner. Gives me a sense of nostalgia and a calm feeling. Now, after moving back to Pittsburgh I do not find it listed anywhere, which is surprising. I'm really bummed.
