Hey pallies, likes we just knew we woulda find 'nother blog rememberin' this most golden day in the golden life, times, and teachin' of our most beloved Dino....the day that changed the small screen forever and brought ever more fame and fortune to our one and only Dino...and gained him millions more pallies who tuned in to see our King of Cool ooze coolness in every word he spoke and every move he made!

From the in-the-know blog "Dr. Caligari's Cabinet" where a dude tagged Kevin gives forth, comes his post on the major events of September 16th, which of course, simply must accent the opennin' night of the Dean Martin Variety Hour 50 years ago this very Dino-day.  Kev with a bit of potent patter and one of the same vid clips that we share this day salutes our most beloved Dino on his entry into weekly television.

September 16, 1965 -
NBC-TV
 finally put that little ole' wine drinker ... on the air  when The Dean Martin Show premiered on this date.



Dean Martin wanted to be on TV but also wanted to be free to do movies and records; his contract required that he only show up to do his variety show one day per week (on Sundays). That's why he always seemed slightly out of step with the rest of the cast, who had rehearsed with Lee Hale standing in for Martin the day before. When Martin made a mistake he'd just laugh it off. The audience loved it.

What a great looking clip and of course television show. It really is hard to believe this was 1965 and it has been 50 years already. We are very lucky to still have this incredible show with us today that will still be watched 50 years from today. Thank you my friend for this wonderful flash back in Dino history!
