That's Hollywood!

I agree that this was a wonderful, engaging series. Along with the PBS version of Siskel and Ebert (Sneak Previews), Arthur Knight's Art of Film book and the Dialing for Dollars Movie, this was the series that most drew me to the art and entertainment of film. It seems like almost every episode ended with the destruction of Vader's Death Star (this was a Fox produced show after all) but that's a small detriment.

I imagine the price of rights for the film clips may be holding up this show from returning to the air, but if the clips were all Fox films, I'm surprised this hasn't reappeared on the Fox Movie Channel.

I loved how the series chronicled the history of a genre or star, from birth to the present. Tom Bosley acquitted himself well and gave a folksy bent to the subject's history.

I'd love to see this series again.

By the way, I now work in the film business and the love of film this series inspired was certainly instrumental in my getting here.

Yes, I agree this was quality television. Every week I would wait to watch it and learn more about old Hollywood. And now that old Hollywood is even farther away than ever I would really love to watch the whole series again. I wish it would come out on DVD. I too would snag it up. Perhaps Turner Classic Movies would consider re-running them. They were a divine look at our best loved stars. And the opening song is so brilliantly matched with visuals. I loved to learn about the classics via this series and categories of film types were explored and examined. Really a wonderful, wonderful series. One week you are reviewing or learning about Marilyn Monroe and the next its leading men and the next its leading women and the next its musicals. I used to watch it in awe as a kid in Chicago suburbs.

As Jim said above,if this were put out on Video or DVD,I'd buy it too! I watched this show for about 3 or 4 years I think,starting in early 1977 and I may be wrong but I think it ended in '81 or '82. I was 8 when it started and if I'm right,I was 12 or more when it ended.

This gave me my earliest insights into a time before me,that I didn't even know existed. It was intriguing to learn all about the stars of "Hollywood's Golden Age" and then to discover (at that time) that a great deal of them were still living! When my family lived in California from 1977 to 1980,I wished we could have gone to Hollywood more often and found and met these folks.

"That's Hollywood" opened my eyes at a very impressionable age and the fact that it was narrated by Tom "Mr C." Bosley from Happy Days,kept me tuned in! If it turns up on video,all of you out there reading this,get it! Buy or rent 1985's "That's Dancing" film as well,it's a great movie like this was a great show (and still is!)

I remember this show very well....

One of my best memories of "That's Hollywood" is the mentioning of sci fi films, especially "The Empire Strikes Back (1980).

Tom Bosley clearly said: "The adventure and the success of 'Star Wars' continues with "The Empire Strikes Back", the 2nd in a series of 9 films George Lucas plans to produce thru 1995." My mouth dropped when he said that...I never forgot that. I was thrilled at age 12 in 1980 knowing that there were going to be more SW films.

I agree w/ everyone here. Amazing television. Even the title sequence was amazing. I watched this with my folks when I was a kid. It set a pretty high bar for my expectations regarding documentary television. I'm willing to fork over a bunch of cash to be able to stream this.
