These days a lot of people probably know the name "Bill Hudson" mostly as the father of actress Kate Hudson. He and Kate's mother, Goldie Hawn (Laugh-In), divorced when Kate was 18 months old, and Bill went on later to marry (and have kids with, then divorce) actress Cindy Williams (Laverne & Shirley). It feels really tacky, though, to remind some of our younger readers who Bill is from his personal history.

Older readers will most certainly remember Bill, and brothers Brett and Mark, from their group's record albums as "The Hudson Brothers," AND their two CBS television shows as well. The first was the brief (5-episode) prime time series The Hudson Brothers Show, in late July and throughout August 1974. Then CBS moved it from Wednesday nights to Saturday mornings, expanded the program's already family-friendly variety format to appeal even more to kids, and renamed it The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show.

Now VSC (Video Service Corp.) is releasing a 3-disc DVD set will every episode from the second series, along with a bonus episode from the original prime time version of the show. Also, Brett Hudson's basement-dwelling-kid character "Chucky" gets spotlighted in a bonus featurette "The Best of Chucky Margolis".

Cost for The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show - The Complete Series is $29.98 SRP for 355 minutes' running time, and VSC will release this on June 3rd. It's definitely time to take a trip down memory lane with this one, so be on the lookout for it! Here is the studio's description of it, followed by package art. You know, looking at the other cast members mentioned in the studio-provided copy, I see a couple of important names missing: Gary Owens, of Laugh-In (and so many other programs). And Peter Cullen, who voiced Optimus Prime in both the original Transformers series and the recent theatrical film (and whose voice was in Voltron as well), was also a regular (or is that "irregular") on the The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show. So pass that on to a Transformers fan you know, and tell them to check these DVDs out!
    VSC reaches way back in time - well, to the 70's -to bring you the landmark release of the Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show! For the first time on any format, it's the Hudson Brothers - Brett, Mark and Bill, along with Chucky Margolis (Brett's signature character), shticking and singing their way through sixteen seriously zany half hours of Saturday morning family programming.

    Do you love those great 70's sketch shows? Remember the hilarious Chucky Margolis? Yeah, those were the days…but wait, just when you thought every possible TV show was out on DVD, VSC brings you The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show: sixteen seriously zany half hours of Saturday morning family programming from an era when zany used to count for something.

    Once called "The Kings of Saturday Morning" by John Lennon himself, The Hudsons are joined by series "irregulars" Ted Ziegler, Billy Van and Murray Langston (the latter was destined to become The Unknown Comic). With Rod Hull and his Emu rounding out the zoo, the Hudson Brothers will take you back to the golden age of TV variety shows! Includes the Hudsons singing "…So You Are a Star" (Top Ten Hit) and much more!
