For 20 of those years, it was most-watched daytime drama in the US. What interrupted a live broadcast of the show in 1963? More... Discuss |

wonder how much practice it took them to get it right for that video !
I've had that bookmarked for quite a while, it was one of "the" hot things on the 'net a few months back, maybe even longer. I really don't remember, but I did go look up that group...and can't remember anything I read other than that was all one take.
I was surfing thru channels the other day on the boobtube and one of those inane dating shows was on and re-enacting this video was one of the things they did on the date.
I always wondered why they couldn't hook up a generator to those things, make it human powered instead of using power to walk on it, create some energy instead of expending it.
I knew a family that had only a small black and white TV and it was hooked up to a bike turning a car alternator which went to a voltage regulator and then to a battery. The kids had to peddle for something like 37 minutes to be able to watch a 30 min. show.
