"Razzle Dazzle" was made in Toronto, Canada, and featured Hudsons, plus Billy Van, Peter Cullen, Murray Langston, Freeman King (all formerly of "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour"), Avril Chown (of the original Canadian production of "Godspell", which had included Victor Garber, Gilda Radner, and many other future stars), Rod Hull & Emu, Scott Fisher (as Fabulous Freddie), and an uncredited Jack Duffy in various supporting roles. This series introduced the caricature logo of the Hudson Brothers. In it, Rod & Emu appear as guests on a talk show hosted by McLean Stevenson & his announcer Gary Owens. One segment from this series was included in an episode of "Razzle Dazzle", in the form of a film "projected" by Rod Hull (with the usual "help" from Emu). None of the bonus material on the DVDs includes any mention of Katie McClure, so I can't determine if she was on the series or not. This is what I learned from it, and from a bit of digging on my own: The prime-time summer replacement variety series included the Hudsons, Ronny Graham, Stephanie Edwards, announcer Gary Owens, and guest stars like McLean Stevenson and Danny Thomas. I just got the DVD box set of all 16 episodes of "Razzle Dazzle" (which includes some bonus material from the Hudson Brothers' prime-time summer variety show, which led to the Saturday morning series, "Razzle Dazzle", and "Bonkers"). Mine had too, so I had to do a bit of digging to sort them out. That's a lot of amazing information, "rcj5365"! I think your memory has lumped all three series together, though.
