The Glorious (?) Return of the Ageless One
It looks like Dick Clark, the man who has been 45 for the last 3 millennia, will have a little more on his plate than New Years Rockin' Eve soon. Everyone knows, even if we can't remember for ourselves, about that old bastion of teenage rebellion and corporate America's taking advantage thereof: American Bandstand. Well, boys and girls, it looks like we're going to get the chance to experience the phenomenon, just like our parents got to.That's right, according to Reuters, is reporting that Clark will work with the creator of everybody's favorite U-21 kareoke bar American Idol to relaunch his old staple sometime next summer. They're currently pitching the idea to networks. I'd put my money on ABC nailing the rights, which inevitably means the show will fail...miserably.
Not to be outdone by WGN's feature weekend show, Soul Train, the new-and-improved AB will feature a dance competition and a yet-to-be-named younger host. I guess 45-going-on-97 is too old to host the MTV demographic nowadays.
