![]() ![]() The show however,was taped in Toronto,Canada(and was produced there as well)then was transferred with much of the cast to the Saturday morning schedule that was due to the believed appeal of variety shows that were made especially for children,and the Hudson Brothers show was just that. On the strength of that series,the show quickly made the jump from prime time to the overall abyss of Saturday Mornings. ![]() The Hudson Brothers debuted as a summer nightmare series that ran in prime-time on CBS-TV from July 31,1974-August 28,1974. Getting back to The Hudson Brothers Show from the mid-1970's. However,this show premiered after another short-lived that followed it also premiered the same time this show did as well,"The Harlem Globetrotters Popcorn Machine"-which was also a live-action variety series featuring the Harlem Globetrotters along with one of the hottest child stars of the 1970's-Rodney Allen Rippy. However,only the first season of "The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show" of the 1974-75 season were original episodes,while seasons two and three were repeated episodes from the first season. Until then.The show's theme song: ITS TIME TO RAZZLE DAZZLE,TIME TO GET DOWN RAZZLE,DAZZLE-TIME TO BOOGIE Y'ALL RAZZLE DAZZLE-GET UP ON YOUR FEET AND RAZZLE DAZZLE!!!!

In fact, it sounds like a worthy topic for another day. Honorable Mention: The Animated Ladies of Saturday Morningįrom Captain Caveman’s Angels (top left) to Alexandra Cabot of Josie and the Pussycats (top right) who wore the shortest skirts in TV history, Saturday mornings were full of smoking hot animated mamas: Daphne from Scooby Doo, Tarra from Herculoids, Princess Ariel from Thundar the Barbarian, Rosie the Operator from Hong Kong Phooey…… yes, they were all animated but 70s kids weren’t too particular. There’s a frighteningly annoying chimp on board as well, but if he knows what’s good for him, he’ll stay out of our way. Oh, to travel with Jean Marie Hon aboard her futuristic RV – this is what dreams are made of. While she didn’t wear a bathing-suit style costume like her cohort, Glorious Gal Dirty Trixie lived up to her name with a puberty-inducing skin tight full body leotard.

Rani was only in one episode, but that was more than enough screen time for young boys of the 1970s who might have exploded had they been served Rani every Saturday.
