Jennifer Adams: Yeah, TV Land USED to be a great channel, and they used to have a LOT of good shows, but in order to cater to the "young generation", they got rid of all their great shows and replaced them with '90s and 2000s crap.
You can buy the DVDs of The Hardy Boys. Shaun was my first teen idol, but I loved Parker, too. I still listen to Shaun’s albums through Spotify and a couple of CDs. I got to see him and David in Blood Brothers. I enjoy Shaun’s TV shows that he creates, and I’m so glad he finally has a big hit with New Amsterdam.
I had a big crush on Shaun Cassidy when I was 13 years old and I used to read tiger beat magazine that was the magazine us kids used to read Do Run Run was my all-time favorite 😍😍
@@LisaN I'm a professional cat sitter I have been since I was 15 years old I'm now 54 I can only do it part-time though because I have a full-time job love those kitty cats 😻😻😻😻
Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett were pinup cuties of the 1970s ❤ What teen girl didn't have a a poster of at least one of them on their bedroom wall ? 😎
Linda Easley Yes! I was going to marry Shaun Cassidy and my best friend was going to marry Leif Garret. We had their posters smeared all over our walls and played their albums. Da doo ron ron da doo ron ron ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shaun came and went like a lot of teen idols. I'm glad he was able to avoid the self-destructive behavior that ultimately ruined David. I wonder what made things different for him.
I loved Shaun Cassidy when I was a kid. You could find me sporting a satin jacket with his picture on the back, and his posters adorned my bedroom walls. I never missed an episode of The Hardy boys! I even went trick or treating to his mother Shirley Jones Cassidys house in Beverly Hills. I was just certian he a grown man would be living with his mom. Lol... Wishful thinking or my youthful mind in the end no one came to the door. Gotta love the Seventies!
@@Bellinigio My mom got them for me. I don't remember where, But yes, I had the pink satin jacket with his picture on the back, a pink t-shirt with the same picture on the front, and bell bottom jeans with a similar autographed picture on the calf.
@@stormqueen29 You just reminded me that my mom took me to the Arcadia(California) mall to see Shaun perform. Its funny how you can forget then suddenly remember like it was yesterday! Good times...
He was my first celebrity crush. I had 2 of his albums, t-shirts with his pic on them, and a Hardy Boys lunch box. I remember crying when I heard he got married. Now, I watch his niece on tv in two of my fav shows- Supernatural & Arrow.
I used to watch The Hardy Boys EVERY WEEK! My BEAUTIFUL MOM/BEST FRIEND took me to one of Shaun Cassidy's concerts. I still have my Hardy Boys lunch box with the thermos. I also had a long sleeved light blue shirt with Shaun's picture on it.
Shaun Cassidy is LIFE! Born in ‘67 The Hardy Boys started my life long love affair with dreamy Shaun. Then the self titled LP with the groovy poster included. I was an avid fan of American Gothic. I think it would be more populat today. Launching the careers of Sarah Paulson and Lucas Black. The show was amazing. Shaun is brilliant. Now with New Amsterdam his creativity just keeps shining brighter. This was a great video. Thank you!
Nice tribute to my favorite guy. I was able to meet him last July at his concert in DC. What a genuinely nice guy and man... he's still got that amazing voice! Hoping he'll tour again. Thank you for making this cool vid! Peace.
T Missing Link Videos CVS cancelled the series before they could show all of them. The DVD has every episode but in the same order as broadcast. The Show is also available on iTunes and again in the wrong order. To get the correct order, go to Wikipedia and look up the list of episodes. Again they are in broadcast order but if you look in the upper right hand corner of each episode you’ll get the production number which gives you the proper order.
Dave, I enjoyed this video on Shaun Cassidy, so thank you for your great insight on him! I've been a fan of his since I was a teenager, and am now in my 50s. I'm so glad New Amsterdam is doing well, I really enjoy watching it, and it's a bonus that Shaun is one of the producers! 😊
I have a vague memory of watching the Hardy Boys, remember liking it. Shows like it made me a lifelong mystery fan. American Gothic I watched a few years ago, good show, sorry we didn’t get more.
Shaun made a classic with American Gothic. My sis loved him. She and mom used to watch Hardy Boys. I was into Nancy because I liked Pamela Sue Martin and enjoyed solo detectives. Great times.
My first concert was Shaun Cassidy! I made a whole scrap book full of Shaun Cassidy photos and cut outs! Still love him! Thanks for this, brought back a lot of good memories!
My sister had the biggest crush on Shaun Cassidy when she was a teenager. She had a giant poster of him on her wall and every time I walked into her room I would see his eyes and it would scare the crap out of me.lol
My younger sister loved Shawn Cassidy, and had a life size poster of him on the bedroom wall. Me, I was more into Eric Estrada from "C.H.I.P.S.". But then I got into Tommy Shaw from Styx, and it was bye bye Eric...😁🎶🎸
Hell, I had a huge crush on Shaun Cassidy (not to mention David) and I'm gay. A friend had a poster of Shaun on stage, sweating in tight leather pants. I so coveted it.
I loved Shaun. I had Da Doo Ron Ron playing on my record player non-stop. I watched every Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Mystery (I also read all the Nancy Drew Mysteries and a few Hardy Boys). Shaun was really the first crush of this little girl's heart. Thank you for the video.
I just saw Shaun cassidy in concert this summer. It was a wonderful show I haven't been to his concert since i was a kid. And for some reason he is going back on tour. I am very happy he is out there again. And I never missed an Episode Of the Hardy boysIt was a very good show shame it had to end..❤ still a big fan.
Ah memories of every Sunday night. I was 5 when it aired. The van they drove, is when vans were the bomb. Custom paints, plush carpets, and custom graphics on the pannels.
Thankyou so much Dave, this was great to see info about Shaun. He is very active on social media at the moment and has 2 live concerts coming up in California this month (May 2019) and is announcing more soon. His fans cannot wait to see him performing live again.
@Dave Sundstrom The Hardy Boys Mysteries TV series (1977 to 1979). Was not the first live action adaptation of Edward Stratemeyer's classic characters. The original Mickey Mouse Club TV show from 1956, featured two Hardy Boys TV serials, starring Tim Considine and Tommy Kirk. In 1967 NBC aired a hour-long pilot for a Hardy Boys television series. The pilot was based on The Mystery of the Chinese Junk. It starred Tim Matthieson (later Matheson) as Joe Hardy and Rick Gates as Frank. Both actors were in their early twenties at the time. So, the Hardy Boys were portrayed as young adults rather than children. Unlike the Mickey Mouse Club TV serials.
Interesting video and got me caught up on this interesting personality. I really respect, Dave Sundstrom, that you respect the privacy of the people who do these little vignettes about.
Your videos are well done. Thanks for a trip down memory lane. I will share this on my social media and hopefully others will show up to take part in a piece of history.
My sisters and I seen Shaun Cassidy in concert. I remember he jumped through a paper hoop. We watched both tv shows The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. I read a few of the books in school library. Also read Dynamite magazine and 16 and Tiger Beat. Had posters that literally looked like wallpaper from ceiling to floor and Shaun Cassidy had a corner to himself. : ) Bought his albums the week they were out. Before Oprah ended her talk show, she interviewed him. I had to tell my sisters to watch. We all had a crush on him. : ) Those memories are part of my growing up. Angie St. Louis, Missouri
I thought Parker Stevenson was THE dream man! In all seriousness, I spent my youth in the elementary library reading and taking out the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books...I love them!
He was a major Teen Idol in the late 70's. I remember there was a huge rivalry between Shaun and Teen singing sensation Leif Garrett back then. Them both battled it out to be the hottest Teen Idol. Obviously Leif Garrett took over the Teen Idol arena....Wow Leif!!! But Shaun has Leif beat in the postcareer department for shure.
Shaun Cassidy was my very first concert, I was 14 and he came to Cincinnati. It was great, Shaun Cassidy was my first teenage crush, was so good looking, wow and I loved the Hardy Boys mysteries
Hello Dave. Enjoyed your video and your commentary on the Hardy Boys and Shawn Cassidy. I wondered what happened to him as I too watched that show and listened to his music. Thanks for the update! ❤️💜💚
ROAR was another masterpiece, besides American Gothic which was THE BEST SHOW on TV at that time. I had all of it on VHS. I *knew* from episode one that Heath Ledger was something extremely special. Thank you Shaun! I had your albums, posters, & LOVED Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew having read all the books. I used to beg my Mom & Dad to let me skip church on Sunday night so I could watch. Shaun is a legend & so was David, whom I fell for at the age of 6! Thanks for gr8 update, Dave!
Thank you so much for doing this video. My very first record album I ever bought with my own money was Shaun Cassidy Under Wraps! How I wish I still had that album!
Shaun Cassidy was my very first concert. My mom took me which surprised the hell out of me. I didn’t think she would. I wore a new flowered pink dress and brown leather sandals with my first pair of pantyhose. I felt so special. Shaun was amazing on stage. I’m 53 years old and can still picture the day. It’s one of my favorite memories I have of my mother. She passed away 3 years ago from Alzheimer’s.
So fun story. I was about 7 or 8 and I entered a contest at a local record store called, Win a date with Shaun Cassidy, I had such a huge crush on him and so this would’ve been a dream come true for me. Well I didn’t win but did get a first place prize which was a signed picture of him, his album, a life size cut out and a beach towel. I still felt like such a winner.
Shawn had a killer band when he played out. The late great Denny Greenspoon of 3 Dog Night on keyboards, Room 222 character actor David Jollife (also played a motorcycle gang member on The Partridge Family. ) Jay Gruska on piano..Carlos Vega on drums from the 79 Live album That's Rock n Roll Live. Any chance of ever doing a tribute video of David Cassidy?!?!. I wish more people would have seen him for the talented musician he really was. His solo career in the RCA label from 75 to 77 was, to me, at his best, brilliant southern California sound. Hanging with the likes of the band America, Flo & Eddie of The Turtles, his producer Beach Boys, Bruce Johnston and beach boys drummer Ricky Fataar. The list goes on and on. I can go on and on as well. I appreciate all you do my friend! Rowland
@@peppermintcatsass3141 aww thx. I have been a David Cassidy fan since I was 5. I'm 50 now. Loved the reruns. He was the older cooler brother I never had. Lol he had the best voice in business. Hands down. Close your eyes and just listen. Impeccable timing pitch and range. I met him a few times. Just so cool and down to earth. Just one of the guys is all he wanted to be.
Oh, man. Dynamite magazine! I forgot all about that. You got a subscriber for that alone. Going to check out your other uploads. Btw, I also loved the hardy boys Nancy drew crossovers...they were my favorite of both shows. I recall one involving a vampire. Oh, the 70s...
I been huge fan of Shaun Cassidy I even saw him in concert back in 79 and plus a huge of his brother David and I always will ( I have all Shaun albums ) he also had a hand with blood brothers
I watched Hardy Boys tv show some My sister 2 years younger than me had a big crush on Shaun Cassidy great video again glad to see he is still working in the entertainment field
American Gothic was a great show! I forgot all about it until I watched this video. The other short lived television show, Roar with Heath Ledger was pretty great as well. I didn’t even realize Shaun Cassidy produced both of those tv series. It’s a shame that so many great television shows weren’t allowed to grow and find there audience and there respective networks also treated them very poorly! This video once again shows us that just because we haven’t seen a certain actor on the small or big screening a very long time doesn’t mean that they completely disappeared. People like Shaun Cassidy are now working behind the camera and not in-front.
My wife adored him when she was a kid. We both love American Gothic. Potato Boy is our favorite episode. He is a genius that is just ahead of his time concidering AHS and other quality horror tv shows are the current trend.
I wonder how many posters had the staple holes from tearing the centerfold out of magazines...no, not THAT centerfold, the Tiger Beat centerfolds. lol Both Cassidys had perfect hair with feathered bangs. 😁
Wow! A You Tuber (I'm not calling you a potato, I'm talking about you owning a You Tube channel 😂 lol) with 60K subscribers, that checks up on comments on a video that's almost a year old, I'm impressed. I subscribed. 😁
Thanks Kathy! At this point, it is difficult to read and respond to all comments...but I really do enjoy learning from my channel's community. With the Shaun Cassidy video resurging for some reason (no idea why), it's been fun to go back and catch up on many of the comments.
@Dave Sundstrom , I'll tell you a little secret...anything that reminds us *'cough'* mature women of our carefree years, it's a good thing. But don't tell anybody I told you...it's in the secret handbook for women. lol
Shawn has a very dry sense of humour that people often miss. I remember watching Ian Meldrum interview Shawn on Countdown. Meldrum asked him if David gave him any advice about the music industry. He replied, "Of course! David's like a brother to me." 😄
I watched The Hardy Boys as a kid but I honestly don't remember much about it except for one episode in which Shaun's character, Joe, and his fiancée were in a car accident and she died. For some reason, that episode haunted me as a kid. I also watched Nancy Drew but I don't remember anything about it other than Pamela Sue Martin. Good to see Shaun is still active in the industry. Thanks for sharing! Oh, final question: what da heck is a daa doo ron ron?
My sister had a Shaun Cassidy poster and a David Cassidy one. My mom let me have a Linda Carter poster and a Suzanne Sommers one later because my sister and I shared a room till she moved out when I was 13.
Dynammite magazines....I used to read those in the mid to late 70s at school. yea.... 70s cornball! I watched the Hardy Boys Nacy Drew series too! I enjoyed it!
I wanted to solve mysteries with Joe, Frank and Nancy as a young kid and I want to meet Shaun just to get to know the man and learn from him. Thanks, Dave.
Why doesn't MeTv or another station air the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew shows for younger generations? It was good. It might get kids to read the books.
Tv land use to but the ratings weren't good enough I guess.
Jennifer Adams: Yeah, TV Land USED to be a great channel, and they used to have a LOT of good shows, but in order to cater to the "young generation", they got rid of all their great shows and replaced them with '90s and 2000s crap.
it dep3nds on who owns the rights...
You can buy the DVDs of The Hardy Boys. Shaun was my first teen idol, but I loved Parker, too. I still listen to Shaun’s albums through Spotify and a couple of CDs. I got to see him and David in Blood Brothers. I enjoy Shaun’s TV shows that he creates, and I’m so glad he finally has a big hit with New Amsterdam.
I remember it briefly on Antenna TV because Jamie Lee Curtis stood out as a mean girl with frosted hair in that episode.
While all my friends were head over heels in love with Shaun, I was gaga for Parker Stephenson.
If I remember correctly, Parker has his fans as well.
As I recall, Tiger Beat featured Parker more thsn Shaun
Barbara Jacobs me too
Barbara Jacobs - me too!
Me too!
Shawn was the man I was gonna marry when I was 10 years old..lol
@Auntie Geigui No I was just talking about all the girls that were crazy about him, they probably would not have minded. lol
@Auntie Geigui Nope not me! That was MKSCHILIX 1968, the comment above mine
@Auntie Geigui No you are fine, easy mistake
Then Andy Gibb arrived on the scene 😉
I also had his posters plastered all over my room when I was 10. My sister was 5 years older, so she had Peter Frampton. Those were the good old days!
My wife named our son after Shaun. Needless to say he was her heartthrob, before me of course. Lol
Dave, I really love your gentle, enthusiastic and respectful approach to your subjects. Your videos are always a treat to see. Thanks!
Thanks Michael! I truly appreciate your kind words and encouragement!
Michael Hansen .. agreed Dave dos a phenomenal job... love his tone and approach!
I was thinking the same thing Michael. So nice to find someone who talks about entertainment with kindness.
I had a big crush on Shaun Cassidy when I was 13 years old and I used to read tiger beat magazine that was the magazine us kids used to read Do Run Run was my all-time favorite 😍😍
Um you have the same icon as me 😮 Do you like cats too? 😃
@@LisaN I'm a professional cat sitter I have been since I was 15 years old I'm now 54 I can only do it part-time though because I have a full-time job love those kitty cats 😻😻😻😻
Bianca Contreras: I love cats too!
I loved Shaun as well! Played that album tho death! Liked the song little Deanie too!
Me too. ❤
Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett were pinup cuties of the 1970s ❤
What teen girl didn't have a a poster of at least one of them on their bedroom wall ? 😎
Also Peter Frampton

Shaun came and went like a lot of teen idols. I'm glad he was able to avoid the self-destructive behavior that ultimately ruined David. I wonder what made things different for him.
Maybe he learned something from watching his older half brother.

Cali Girl He had a falling out with Jack Cassidy, who was jealous of David & Shaun’s popularity and moved out.
I had the pink satin jacket, the pink t-shirt AND the jeans all with Shaun's picture on them. It was one of the few times in school I was popular.
@@stormqueen29 I totally get it! I felt super cool too!! Where did you get the pants? I never knew they existed they sound awesome!
@@Bellinigio My mom got them for me. I don't remember where, But yes, I had the pink satin jacket with his picture on the back, a pink t-shirt with the same picture on the front, and bell bottom jeans with a similar autographed picture on the calf.
@@stormqueen29 You just reminded me that my mom took me to the Arcadia(California) mall to see Shaun perform. Its funny how you can forget then suddenly remember like it was yesterday! Good times...
He was my first celebrity crush. I had 2 of his albums, t-shirts with his pic on them, and a Hardy Boys lunch box. I remember crying when I heard he got married. Now, I watch his niece on tv in two of my fav shows- Supernatural & Arrow.
Tiger Beat Magazine 👍🏻👍🏻❤️from the 1970s. I remember.
I used to watch The Hardy Boys EVERY WEEK! My BEAUTIFUL MOM/BEST FRIEND took me to one of Shaun Cassidy's concerts. I still have my Hardy Boys lunch box with the thermos. I also had a long sleeved light blue shirt with Shaun's picture on it.
Shaun Cassidy is LIFE! Born in ‘67 The Hardy Boys started my life long love affair with dreamy Shaun. Then the self titled LP with the groovy poster included. I was an avid fan of American Gothic. I think it would be more populat today. Launching the careers of Sarah Paulson and Lucas Black. The show was amazing. Shaun is brilliant. Now with New Amsterdam his creativity just keeps shining brighter. This was a great video. Thank you!
I totally agree that American Gothic (especially if released on Netflix, Amazon or Hulu instead of a network) would be much more of a success today.
Nice tribute to my favorite guy. I was able to meet him last July at his concert in DC. What a genuinely nice guy and man... he's still got that amazing voice! Hoping he'll tour again. Thank you for making this cool vid! Peace.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Mary!
American Gothic was ahead of its time. LOVED that show.
It sure I have the DVD
I also have the DVD. CBS helped to kill the series by airing it out of sequence. They also did not show four of the episodes.
@@sheldonhartstein70 I wonder why they did not show us all the episodes.
T Missing Link Videos CVS cancelled the series before they could show all of them. The DVD has every episode but in the same order as broadcast.

It was a great show....like Miracles, etc. it would work today....but too far ahead of it's time back then.
I loved Shawn Cassidy, I remember I got his first album for Christmas best gift ever.
Thank YOU for making these GREAT videos, Dave! PLEASE KEEP 'EM COMMING!
He was my first star crush. I cried when I read he had gotten married the first time. Glad he's doing well.

David's daughter Katie is a regular on the show Arrow.
OH WOW What a great blast from the past! I was CRAZY about Shaun Cassidy....he was all over my walls. I still have a set of the Hardy Boys books.
I have a vague memory of watching the Hardy Boys, remember liking it. Shows like it made me a lifelong mystery fan.
American Gothic I watched a few years ago, good show, sorry we didn’t get more.
I'd like to see Shaun Cassidy on Dancing with the Stars! They should do a 70's/80's teen idol edition! LOL Donny Osmond WON his season on DWTS!
Yeah I would that.. They should get Shaun on the show. I would vote for him every week like I did for Donny when he was on.
Super idea!!
They should get Leif Garrett on the show too....the Arch rival of Shaun Cassidy back then in the days
Every September 27, I call my best friend from high school, and we celebrate his birthday.
I love that you and your friend find reasons to connect!
Shaun made a classic with American Gothic. My sis loved him. She and mom used to watch Hardy Boys. I was into Nancy because I liked Pamela Sue Martin and enjoyed solo detectives. Great times.
Yes! He created a masterpiece with American Gothic & it should be up there with The X Files & The 4400!!
My first concert was Shaun Cassidy! I made a whole scrap book full of Shaun Cassidy photos and cut outs! Still love him! Thanks for this, brought back a lot of good memories!
You're very welcome, Bonnie. 🙂
I loved both The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, but when they crossed over, it was pure magic!
I cried all night when he got married the first time 😂
LOVED American Gothic!

Shaun Cassidy was my first ever concert! I didn’t see another until Sting in 1985. Good times!!!
Mine too! Even got a tshirt!!!

How cool is that?!!? I didn't know that Shaun was out there touring either. He's a really talented guy.
I still have about 50-60 Hardy Boy books...I used to love that show as a kid.
Shaun was my first crush! His concert was my first concert as well!
Ah memories of every Sunday night. I was 5 when it aired. The van they drove, is when vans were the bomb. Custom paints, plush carpets, and custom graphics on the pannels.

He is very active on social media at the moment and has 2 live concerts coming up in California this month (May 2019) and is announcing more soon. His fans cannot wait to see him performing live again.
NICE!!! I was a huge Hardy Boys Nancy Drew fan!! I really loved that show and Shaun Cassidy! Thx for the update. Good to know he's doing well🤩
Dave, you bring back some really wonderful memories. Thank you, and keep going.
I had a satin jacket with his picture on the back and a pair of bell bottom jeans to match. I was in love with him lol
Another fine video, and you it on another series in Hardy Boys.... I have fond memories of. Glad Shaun is doing well these days.

The first concert I ever attended was to see Shaun Cassidy. My older sister accompanied me and we had a blast!
Some of my favorite concert memories involve who I went to the event with...not the actual performer. Thanks for sharing Cynthia!
I thought Parker Stevenson was THE dream man! In all seriousness, I spent my youth in the elementary library reading and taking out the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books...I love them!

Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved American Gothic, " someone's at the door"! I think people were just not ready for that kind of show at that time.
Agree 100%. Loved American Gothic too. With the huge trend toward the paranormal on TV now, it would definitely have made it in todays TV.
I still have the born late album and I'll never give it up!
Shaun Cassidy was my very first concert. My mom took me which surprised the hell out of me. I didn’t think she would. I wore a new flowered pink dress and brown leather sandals with my first pair of pantyhose. I felt so special. Shaun was amazing on stage. I’m 53 years old and can still picture the day.

So fun story. I was about 7 or 8 and I entered a contest at a local record store called, Win a date with Shaun Cassidy, I had such a huge crush on him and so this would’ve been a dream come true for me. Well I didn’t win but did get a first place prize which was a signed picture of him, his album, a life size cut out and a beach towel. I still felt like such a winner.
That is a fun story, Rose! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
Shawn had a killer band when he played out. The late great Denny Greenspoon of 3 Dog Night on keyboards, Room 222 character actor David Jollife (also played a motorcycle gang member on The Partridge Family. ) Jay Gruska on piano..Carlos Vega on drums from the 79 Live album That's Rock n Roll Live. Any chance of ever doing a tribute video of David Cassidy?!?!. I wish more people would have seen him for the talented musician he really was. His solo career in the RCA label from 75 to 77 was, to me, at his best, brilliant southern California sound. Hanging with the likes of the band America, Flo & Eddie of The Turtles, his producer Beach Boys, Bruce Johnston and beach boys drummer Ricky Fataar. The list goes on and on. I can go on and on as well. I appreciate all you do my friend! Rowland
RECONN SUPERNATURAL SYNDICATE Spirit Investigations ...wow, that's a lot of memories you just brought back... speechless..
@@peppermintcatsass3141 aww thx. I have been a David Cassidy fan since I was 5. I'm 50 now. Loved the reruns. He was the older cooler brother I never had. Lol he had the best voice in business. Hands down. Close your eyes and just listen. Impeccable timing pitch and range. I met him a few times. Just so cool and down to earth. Just one of the guys is all he wanted to be.
RECONN SUPERNATURAL SYNDICATE Spirit Investigations ..I'm 54 & have it all on original Albums & 8track...
RECONN SUPERNATURAL SYNDICATE Spirit Investigations ..Did you see David as "BOONE" on Malcolm in the Middle, in the early 2000s... great performance!!
@@peppermintcatsass3141 right on! Love that old school stuff. I have them myself.
Very nice, thank you! 👍🏼
You’re welcome, Rosie!
Nice to know what happened to him! Love New Amsterdam!
I watched Shaun on Hardy Boys and then i listened to his music. Both were awesome
Oh, man. Dynamite magazine! I forgot all about that. You got a subscriber for that alone. Going to check out your other uploads. Btw, I also loved the hardy boys Nancy drew crossovers...they were my favorite of both shows. I recall one involving a vampire. Oh, the 70s...
Thanks for subscribing, Mark!
I been huge fan of Shaun Cassidy I even saw him in concert back in 79 and plus a huge of his brother David and I always will ( I have all Shaun albums ) he also had a hand with blood brothers
Shaun was my one and only celebrity crush in high school. The only one I collected Tiger Beat for and put his picture up on my bedroom wall...
Lots of young ladies had his poster on their walls in the 70s!
He also was a producer on blue bloods
I watched Hardy Boys tv show some My sister 2 years younger than me had a big crush on Shaun Cassidy great video again glad to see he is still working in the entertainment field
Ahh...I think lots of our little sisters had crushes on Shaun. If I remember right, my sister did as well.
Now I remember. His album came with a free iron on design for t -shirts.
I loved the free stuff!
@@jdsundstrom Just check my family lp collection and its still there "Shaun Cassidy Born late with the free iron on design.
I got to see him in concert in Memphis loved it
MsDusty Dennis saw him in Ridgefield, CT!! ❤️
Live this channel. Live your bit on shaun. Miss these shows from the 70s and 80s. They were the best
Thanks so much, Dutchess!
Still live in the 80s lol ......but seriously
I had a crush on David Cassidy 😁
Me too !!! Lol !!
@@KrissiCreates +😁👍🏼
I saw him in concert. American Gothic was good I liked it. I'm glad I have the DVD. And I have all three seasons of The Hardy Boys.
American Gothic was a great show! I forgot all about it until I watched this video. The other short lived television show, Roar with Heath Ledger was pretty great as well. I didn’t even realize Shaun Cassidy produced both of those tv series. It’s a shame that so many great television shows weren’t allowed to grow and find there audience and there respective networks also treated them very poorly! This video once again shows us that just because we haven’t seen a certain actor on the small or big screening a very long time doesn’t mean that they completely disappeared. People like Shaun Cassidy are now working behind the camera and not in-front.
American gothic was Flimed in Wilmington NC my hometown
Oh how I always loved Shaun bought all his albums too. :D Thank you.
My sister named me after him, she had a huge crush on him
Why did she spell it different ?
@@julieann501 They think the U spelling is too weird
I grew up reading the Hardy Boys. Enjoyed the show as a grown man. Thanks for sharing this and other videos. 🙂
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Tommy D!
I love "The Hardy Boys" interpretation on South Park. They were named "The Hardly Boys" and they kept getting clues.
My wife adored him when she was a kid. We both love American Gothic. Potato Boy is our favorite episode. He is a genius that is just ahead of his time concidering AHS and other quality horror tv shows are the current trend.
I have this series on dvd! I used to love this show...
Me too, Jade!
He certainly did NOT Da- do run away from the biz. Sorry. Had to say that. He's an admirable man.
I wonder how many posters had the staple holes from tearing the centerfold out of magazines...no, not THAT centerfold, the Tiger Beat centerfolds. lol
Both Cassidys had perfect hair with feathered bangs. 😁
Wow! A You Tuber (I'm not calling you a potato, I'm talking about you owning a You Tube channel 😂 lol) with 60K subscribers, that checks up on comments on a video that's almost a year old, I'm impressed.
I subscribed. 😁
Thanks Kathy! At this point, it is difficult to read and respond to all comments...but I really do enjoy learning from my channel's community. With the Shaun Cassidy video resurging for some reason (no idea why), it's been fun to go back and catch up on many of the comments.
@Dave Sundstrom , I'll tell you a little secret...anything that reminds us *'cough'* mature women of our carefree years, it's a good thing.
But don't tell anybody I told you...it's in the secret handbook for women. lol
My two older sisters loved this guy. Watched Hardy boys, Nancy Drew every week.
I do not remember much about this other than the Hardy Boy's and Nancy Drew was my sister's show.
Shawn has a very dry sense of humour that people often miss. I remember watching Ian Meldrum interview Shawn on Countdown. Meldrum asked him if David gave him any advice about the music industry. He replied, "Of course! David's like a brother to me." 😄
Quite witty! 🙂
I watched The Hardy Boys as a kid but I honestly don't remember much about it except for one episode in which Shaun's character, Joe, and his fiancée were in a car accident and she died. For some reason, that episode haunted me as a kid. I also watched Nancy Drew but I don't remember anything about it other than Pamela Sue Martin. Good to see Shaun is still active in the industry. Thanks for sharing! Oh, final question: what da heck is a daa doo ron ron?
Great memories! Thanks for sharing. And...no clue on what a “da doo ron ron” actually is!
My sister had a Shaun Cassidy poster and a David Cassidy one. My mom let me have a Linda Carter poster and a Suzanne Sommers one later because my sister and I shared a room till she moved out when I was 13.
Dave, that is why you're our leader.
Yes, I was a HUGE Shaun Cassidy fan, sat front n center at Nassau Colosseum at age 11 to see him in concert. Lol, good memories!
@@matthewwest2864 WOW, thank you so much for your reply! I’ll always love you Shaun!!
First record I ever had as a kid was Born Late. I still know the words to every song on that album.
Born Late was probably my fave Shaun Cassidy album.
It's a great one!
Dynammite magazines....I used to read those in the mid to late 70s at school. yea.... 70s cornball! I watched the Hardy Boys Nacy Drew series too! I enjoyed it!
Dynamite magazine was one of the all-time greats!
Really appreciate your channel!...enjoy ur research on childhood heroes...Thank you for ur hard work!
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, Marcie. Truly appreciated!
I wanted the life-sized poster of Shaun Cassidy SOOOO badly!
I wanted to solve mysteries with Joe, Frank and Nancy as a young kid and I want to meet Shaun just to get to know the man and learn from him. Thanks, Dave.
I wanted to solve mysteries like the Hardy Boys when I was younger as well. 🙂
