BOUNCEAway

A sister program to the popular children’s TV program, BOUNCE. BOUNCEAway was was the NET weekend morning show that ran for 5 years, clocking up an impressive one hundred and ninety episodes.

Aimed at the same age range (3-13) as its predecessor, BOUNCEAway was a much more lively show with a host of regular presenters taking part at any one time.

The programme was shot in a studio, usually at dock1, MediaCity US, Los Angeles, and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.

Sadly much of the original series has been deleted from the archives as recently as the early 1990’s.

Summary
The format was a little like a music-hall variety show or MTV/Pitchfork style show. The first series featured popular 60s musical groups or singers with links and dances from Jack Dean and team in studio. The series would soon become known for it’s groan-inducing humour. As the series progressed the films were phased out, in favour of more of the infectious studio tomfoolery, jokes and comic songs.
