I had never heard of or seen this before and thought it was fun.

They were so cute. I wonder how many became drug addicts?

PBS did a King Family Reunion show a few years back. They rolled out every family member down to the great grand kids. Every one was blonde and perky and I loved every minute of it.

As a kid, I loved watching this show in the 60s! There was always one "King in-law" who had black hair - the only one in a sea of blondes.

Now fess up, your favorite King cousin was Cam Clarke. You know, if you can get past the whole Mormon thing, he just might be the one for you!

Nah, he's not blonde.

I adored Tina Cole and suffered through My Three Sons each week just for her.

Sonof, I watched that reunion also and also loved every minute of it! We always watched their specials when I was a kid.

And I had a crush on Don Grady on My Three Sons!

I always loved the King Family Christmas shows. I didn't know they did a Halloween show. I miss variety shows so much!

Look at the little Bride of Frankenstein counting off the measures (at 1:34).

Oh, and the King Sisters weren't all blond Aryans. Didn't one of them go outside the family and marry a Spanish guy?

Goth, Alyce's first husband was Sydney de Azevedo. He died suddenly at the age of 37. He was from Brooklyn. Two of the male King Cousins were their sons Ric and Lex (both are blondes). Their step brother, Cam Clarke was from Alyce's second marriage. Her sister Louise was married to Elvino Rey, but that was his stage name. His real name was Alvin McBurney from Ohio. The King family's real last name was Driggs.

DRIGGS?!?

"The Driggs Family Singers"

Yeah, "King" was a wise move.

romantico, thank you! What fun to watch!

Also on their channel, from that same Halloween special, the gals sing the theme song from Bewitched -- did anyone notice that was on there? What a kick, hearing it sung! Guess it's another one of those theme songs that actually had lyrics which were never heard on its accompanying show. I miss the old variety shows too.

Thanks for posting that. I always enjoyed the Bewitched theme. However, this is my favorite version of the song performed on the Hollywood Palace.

It was wonderful having that PBS special recently, but so sad to learn of Vonnies (Yvonne) death so soon afterward. Their website had a note mourning her loss.

Gah! I was never a fan of those mid-60s hair sculptures the ladies liked to stick on top of their heads.

Is it just me, or did anyone else mis-view the piece of art in the upper right hand corner of his page?
