Promo Theatre: A Year at the Top gets a push from CBS!

Longtime BOTNS followers know one of our favorite "We'd Like to See" shows is A Year at the Top with Greg Evigan and Paul Shaffer. (We first talked about it in our Run, Joe, Run episode)

Mike actually did see a little of it on one of his adventures, but the show remains a rarity even in collecting circles.

Therefore it was a thrill to see one of our favorite YouTube channels, The Museum of Classic Chicago Television, post not one, but two vintage promos for the 1977 CBS series last week:

Happy Birthday, Greg Evigan!

Happy birthday to Greg Evigan, perhaps (and by perhaps we mean not really at all) best remembered for his role in BOTNS-semi-favorite A Year at the Top:

We talked about Mike's journey to track this down in a bonus episode.

Would you like more Greg Evigan again someday on the podcast? OK, OK, we hear you loud and clear. That's a 10-4.

What We Saw: Year at the Top YouTube playlist is live!

We are as appalled as you are at the lack of available footage of A Year at the Top, but we assembled a collection of promos, commercials, music, and fun for you. If you can't visit the Paley Center, at least you can visit the playlist and get a small taste of the show and its stars.

Remember, also, to check out our official YouTube page to enjoy past episodes of the podcast and all the playlists we have created to accompany those episodes! Don't you dare miss it!

What We Saw: Year At the Top

In this bonus minisode, we discuss seeing a show we once wanted to see, Year At the Top. Greg Evigan and Paul Shaffer sell their souls to rock and roll with help from Mickey Rooney! Mike saw an episode, Rick has a lot of questions, and Mike has some surprising answers.
