Loved, loved, loved The Midnight Special when I was a teen. I watched a few just now from your links. Thanks for the memories!

Wow, Mark! Thanks for reminding me and sharing that its back on again. It was one of my favorites as well, and probably the first place I ever saw George Carlin and Richard Pryor. What a great memory!

This is great, Mark. Thanks for bringing my attention to this.

But, only six minutes of Ravi? That's not even an intro for him. (But I get it.)

I used to watch that show every weekend, with my mother! But wow, 50 years ago!? How the Hell did that happen so quickly?

Great stuff! I remember that show! It wasn’t often that I was up that late though.

This is just fabulous, Mark! Thanks so much for introducing me to this show and to jump-starting us with wonderful clips. Gladys Knight! Yeoow! I see a binge watch in my future.... oh noooo. Dishes piling up in the sink, weeds growing in the garden....

Well, you brought back some fun memories! I watched the Midnight Special quite a bit, but perhaps not as much as you did! I do vividly recall staying up after SNL in the early years to watch Second City into the wee hours.
