July 5, 1970-July 8, 1979. 
A recurring summer series, "Evening at Pops" presents the Boston Pops Orchestra, under the direction of Arthur Fiedler (until his death in 1979). Announcer for this series introducing guests, descriptions of musical selections, and intermissions, is William Pierce.

On this broadcast the easy listening music of Ferrante and Teicher. Tonight they bring a swinging new touch to the Stephen  Foster song book: from a slow jazzy "Old Folks at Home" to a symphonic rendition of "Camptown Races." The pianists also perform a double-time version of "Malaguena," a haunting concerto woven from "Fiddler on the Roof," and the movie theme from "Exodus."

1971-1974

1971 (Syndicated). On this half-hour musical series host Johnny Mann, together with the Johnny Mann Singers and assorted guests, sang the praises of the good old U.S.A.   

Bob Crane's second appearance on the series. Crane does a tongue in cheek stand-up routine about Academy Award winning songs through the years. Bob sings, "Zip A  Dee Doo Dah," Baby It's  Cold Outside," "In The Cool Cool Cool Of The Evening," and "Talk To The Animals."  
The Singers present a tribute to Paul Simon, and to TV's  Sesame Street. The Johnny Mann singers sing songs from the show.                                  

1972-1973 (Syndicated). Half-hour musical show with Henry Mancini and his orchestra.

The Mancini Generation, a syndicated TV series that premiered in 1972, was hosted by none other than the man himself, award-winning composer Henry Mancini, and featured instrumental 40-man band versions of standards from pop hits to movie themes to classical overtures as well as originals composed by the series' star. After a brief run the show was canceled, perhaps having come a bit too late to appeal to the tastes of an audience that several years earlier would have more readily embraced a program perceived as cooler than The Lawrence Welk Show but not as cool as rock and roll. But there's a ring of truth to the short-lived series' title; the period from the late '50s through early '70s could easily be seen as an era defined by Mancini's music. His compositions permeated pop culture during those years, if often in subtle ways. He created literally hundreds of music scores, gaining acclaim, fame and fortune for television themes like Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky and movie music for Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther among many, in addition to occasional non-big- or small-screen recordings, supplying a daily music backdrop for tens of millions of people falling within that particular generation.
