NYE just won't be the same. Ryan Seacrest is ok. He can never replace Dick Clark though

American Bandstand, those were the best days.We would hurry home from school every afternoon to watch, then next day at school we would discuss who wore what, who danced with whom.I can't think of any thing today to compare.

Yes, if you think about it, American Bandstand, in addition to being entertaining, kept us well informed, and thus, we were all able to be a little more hip and cool. Thanks to Dick Clark.
My mind tends to wander... but fortunately, it's so weak, it doesn't get very far...

Bandstand was such a big deal at the time, it spawned a lot of smaller imitators. Our local TV station had a similar show.
