Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' Greatest
Moments

post from TV on HuffingtonPost.com on 18 April 2012 06:45:08 PM. © TV on HuffingtonPost.com

"American Bandstand," which the late Dick Clark hosted from 1956 to 1989, introduced new musical acts to generations of Americans during its decades-long run. It changed formats over the years, shifed time slots, locations, lengths and sets, but during his tenure as host, viewers could always count on Clark's charming interviews with audience members and performing acts between songs.

In today's era of high-definition video and instantaneous social media, clips from "American Bandstand" might seem especially dated, or even hokey. But not only did the program bring popular music to hundreds of thousands of American teenagers, but it also influenced the direction of media.

Without "American Bandstand," there might not have been a "Soul Train" or an "Old Grey Whistle Test" (there most definitely would have not been a "Dance Party USA"). And think about early music videos: They were usually just bands lip-syncing their hits.

While it's impossible to capture every great moment in "American Bandstand" -- we couldn't get our hands on acceptable footage of Devo's, Run DMC's or Sugar Hill Gang's performances -- check out a few great ones below.

'Community' Star: Chevy Chase Will Probably Be
Back

post from TV on HuffingtonPost.com on 18 April 2012 06:32:07 PM. © TV on HuffingtonPost.com

If "Community" returns for a Season 4, Chevy Chase is expected to return, according to Joel McHale.

Speaking at an NBC press event on Wednesday, McHale, Chase's "Community" co-star, said he expects Chase to return to the series ... if NBC opts to renew "Community" for Season 4.

Chase and "Community" creator Dan Harmon's behind-the-scenes feud erupted publicly when a recording of a voicemail Chase left Harmon leaked online. Harmon reportedly had played it for a crowd and has since apologized.

"I was doing what I always do, and always get in trouble for doing, and always pay a steep price for doing," Harmon later wrote on his blog. "I was thinking about myself and I was thinking about making people laugh. I was airing my dirty laundry for a chuckle."

When HuffPost TV was on the "Community" set shortly before the show wrapped Season 3, Chase seemed unsure of his future with the comedy.

"I probably won't be around that much longer, frankly," he said.

The future of "Community" itself has been in question. NBC benched the low-rated comedy for three months, making way for other comedies. The show returned to high ratings, but has since slumped back down. While serving as "Live! With Kelly's" co-host, McHale said he hoped the voicemail scandal would help the show's renewal chances.

"We don't have the fourth season pick up, so if this somehow helps then yes, let's hope that happens," McHale said of the feud to a round of applause.
