| Originally broadcast as "It's OK" on NBC television in 1976 to celebrate the release of The Beach Boys' 15 Big Ones, this surreal special was produced and written by Lorne Michaels, James Belushi, and Dan Ackroyd of "Saturday Night Live" fame - and boy, does it show. Intercut into the by-the-numbers concert by the band filmed in Anaheim are various interview snippets: the well-known interview with Brian in bed; "slice-of-life" portraits of each band member: Al Jardine wrestling with goats while discussing the hardships of living in the 'wild,' Mike Love riding shotgun in a stunt plane, and Dennis Wilson getting overheated while judging a beauty contest (I couldn't help thinking it was like a shark at a feeding frenzy.) Also included are some completely unrelated moments, like a teenage skateboarder talking about the history of the sport, a stoned-looking surfer discussing his bohemian lifestyle, and yes, (somebody shoot me now!) a bevy of high-kicking cheerleaders strutting their stuff during the performance of "Be True To Your School." It's from this special that the infamous "Surf Police" sketch originated; where Mike Love is shown at his mincing, gold-spangled best; where Dennis and Carl are interviewed discussing their father with surprising frankness; and Brian, Dennis and Carl sing a reprise of "I'm Bugged At My Old Man," which still elicits the same giggles from all of them, but to the audience watching at home, must have seemed very strange. But this is still an engaging film: part time-capsule, part concert document, and part comedy sketch, all blended together into something unmistakably of the 1970's. Also As A Bonus, Rare Full Song Video Clips From 60's Television Performances. |
