    I remember this short- lived gem,from The Summer of Love.I recently saw a clip of Lesley Gore doing Sunshine,Lollipops,& Rainbows for this show on YouTube.Mr.Rosen's reminiscences about working on this show were interesting,I always enjoy it when people who worked on a particular project post on IMDb.I did not know Erin Gray was on this program.Mr.Rosen's comments about how it was so cold indicate it was made in the winter.That's typical of many shows made on the beach for two reasons.First is there are no crowds to film around,plus the beaches in California are more photogenic in winter.Most SI swimsuit issues are shot in winter for those reasons,especially when done in California.I hope whoever owns the rights to this program will consider putting it out on DVD,it only ran six episodes,but I'm sure many who were growing up then would love to relive the memories of a more innocent era,when in the words of a critic speaking about television back then,entertainment was truly entertaining.Speaking of the more innocent time,this was about when the innocence was shattered.

    I was the "2nd" Stage Manager on Malibu U. during the summer of 1967. It was one of my earlier assignments through my newly acquired Director's Guild of America card. I would generally agree with the first commentary. This show was a summer replacement. (They did summer replacements back in those days.) As the prior person stated, Ricky Nelson was the host---a very quiet, private person. During the taping he would walk to a quiet corner of the beach bluff, briefly chat with me, and wait until I called for his scenes. The particular episode on which I worked featured The Turtles (singing, "Eleanor"), Dionne Warwick stood on a rock several yards out in the ocean, shivered and lip synced her hit song, "Alphie" as the wind blew her yellow chiffon dress to the point of sticking to her legs. The surf was so loud that she could barely hear the playback. James Darren of "Gidget" fame sang a song and walked along the waters edge, and I believe Harper's Bizarre sang a song for which I don't remember the title, ("Feelin' Groovy" or "Anything Goes"?) Of course, Ricky Nelson sang his hit songs as well. The beautiful "beach bunnies & handsome buff buddies" were all freezing in a temperature that hovered around 65F. I remember the bikini clad girls were wrapped in heavy coats and blankets until such time as they were required to broadly smile and joyfully run into the icy water, acting as though it were a hot 90 degree day! The one "scary" event was when the director had one of those big, old video cameras set into a deep hole that had been dug in the sand for a ground level shot of "The Turtles" playing with live turtles while they sang. It was late in the day, the high tide was upon us and a big wave arrived in all it's glory, heading for the hole where the electronic cables, camera, cameraman and I were located. Fearing electrocution, the cameraman and I jumped out at the speed of light!!! I'll never forget that day.

    I have seen the entire 1967 episode of Malibu-U with the Leonard Nimoy Bilbo Baggins video. Star Trek WAS NOT canceled at this time (contrary to what the other reviewer says) and Nimoy had just released an incredibly well selling record called Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space on Dot Records. Ricky Nelson introduces the clip while sitting on the beach with one of the dancers from the show. Nimoy's performance was to promote his new single AND his role as Mr. Spock on Star Trek. The song is a lot of fun and was a lip sync performance prerecorded for the show. Nimoy was at at all time high with his popularity at this time. He was out to prove nothing. The previous reviewer should keep get his facts straight.
