"Your Hit Parade" started as a Radio show, then moved to TV, lasting from 1950 to 1959. Very popular and (almost) always tasteful, The series presented the top tunes each week, performed by the programs talented cast of singers and dancers. However, as popular music changed, the show found itself obsolete, and by it's final season it had become a joke. The clip comes from a 1956 episode, while the show was still fresh.

"Your Hit Parade" ran on NBC-TV then CBS-TV, and like most live TV shows of the 50's, it's copyrights were not renewed.

I don't know why I'm surprised anymore but early 50s tv shows were often clearly divided between those for adults and those for the kiddies, rather than the fiction of the next decades that shows for little kids were fun for all ages. That may be because most of the shows were connected with radio, and radio hadn't been around long enough to become G rated by various legions for decency.

This is not a musical number for children. In fact, this show had a lot more kissing in the episodes that were saved than I had anticipated. YHP makes me think of what The Lawrence Welk Show might have been if the singers/dancers had been in charge rather than Mr. Welk.
