Why doesn't MeTv or another station air the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew shows for younger generations? It was good. It might get kids to read the books.

Dave, I really love your gentle, enthusiastic and respectful approach to your subjects. Your videos are always a treat to see. Thanks!

While all my friends were head over heels in love with Shaun, I was gaga for Parker Stephenson.

I had a big crush on Shaun Cassidy when I was 13 years old and I used to read tiger beat magazine that was the magazine us kids used to read Do Run Run was my all-time favorite 😍😍

Shawn was the man I was gonna marry when I was 10 years old..lol

My wife named our son after Shaun. Needless to say he was her heartthrob, before me of course. Lol

Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett were pinup cuties of the 1970s ❤ What teen girl didn't have a a poster of at least one of them on their bedroom wall ? 😎

Shaun came and went like a lot of teen idols. I'm glad he was able to avoid the self-destructive behavior that ultimately ruined David. I wonder what made things different for him.

Tiger Beat Magazine 👍🏻👍🏻❤️from the 1970s. I remember.

Nice tribute to my favorite guy. I was able to meet him last July at his concert in DC. What a genuinely nice guy and man... he's still got that amazing voice! Hoping he'll tour again. Thank you for making this cool vid! Peace.

I loved Shaun Cassidy when I was a kid. You could find me sporting a satin jacket with his picture on the back, and his posters adorned my bedroom walls. I never missed an episode of The Hardy boys! I even went trick or treating to his mother Shirley Jones Cassidys house in Beverly Hills. I was just certian he a grown man would be living with his mom. Lol... Wishful thinking or my youthful mind in the end no one came to the door. Gotta love the Seventies!

American Gothic was ahead of its time. LOVED that show.

He was my first celebrity crush. I had 2 of his albums, t-shirts with his pic on them, and a Hardy Boys lunch box. I remember crying when I heard he got married. Now, I watch his niece on tv in two of my fav shows- Supernatural & Arrow.

Shaun Cassidy is LIFE! Born in ‘67 The Hardy Boys started my life long love affair with dreamy Shaun. Then the self titled LP with the groovy poster included. I was an avid fan of American Gothic. I think it would be more populat today. Launching the careers of Sarah Paulson and Lucas Black. The show was amazing. Shaun is brilliant. Now with New Amsterdam his creativity just keeps shining brighter. This was a great video. Thank you!

Dave, I enjoyed this video on Shaun Cassidy, so thank you for your great insight on him! I've been a fan of his since I was a teenager, and am now in my 50s. I'm so glad New Amsterdam is doing well, I really enjoy watching it, and it's a bonus that Shaun is one of the producers! 😊

I used to watch The Hardy Boys EVERY WEEK! My BEAUTIFUL MOM/BEST FRIEND took me to one of Shaun Cassidy's concerts. I still have my Hardy Boys lunch box with the thermos. I also had a long sleeved light blue shirt with Shaun's picture on it.

Thank YOU for making these GREAT videos, Dave! PLEASE KEEP 'EM COMMING!

He was my first star crush. I cried when I read he had gotten married the first time. Glad he's doing well.

Shaun made a classic with American Gothic. My sis loved him. She and mom used to watch Hardy Boys. I was into Nancy because I liked Pamela Sue Martin and enjoyed solo detectives. Great times.

David's daughter Katie is a regular on the show Arrow.

I loved Shawn Cassidy, I remember I got his first album for Christmas best gift ever.

I have a vague memory of watching the Hardy Boys, remember liking it. Shows like it made me a lifelong mystery fan. American Gothic I watched a few years ago, good show, sorry we didn’t get more.

My first concert was Shaun Cassidy! I made a whole scrap book full of Shaun Cassidy photos and cut outs! Still love him! Thanks for this, brought back a lot of good memories!

OH WOW What a great blast from the past! I was CRAZY about Shaun Cassidy....he was all over my walls. I still have a set of the Hardy Boys books.

Dave, you bring back some really wonderful memories. Thank you, and keep going.

I loved Shaun. I had Da Doo Ron Ron playing on my record player non-stop. I watched every Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Mystery (I also read all the Nancy Drew Mysteries and a few Hardy Boys). Shaun was really the first crush of this little girl's heart. Thank you for the video.

Every September 27, I call my best friend from high school, and we celebrate his birthday.

NICE!!! I was a huge Hardy Boys Nancy Drew fan!! I really loved that show and Shaun Cassidy! Thx for the update. Good to know he's doing well🤩

I'd like to see Shaun Cassidy on Dancing with the Stars! They should do a 70's/80's teen idol edition! LOL Donny Osmond WON his season on DWTS!

I just saw Shaun cassidy in concert this summer. It was a wonderful show I haven't been to his concert since i was a kid. And for some reason he is going back on tour. I am very happy he is out there again. And I never missed an Episode Of the Hardy boysIt was a very good show shame it had to end..❤ still a big fan.

I loved both The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, but when they crossed over, it was pure magic!

Shaun Cassidy was my first ever concert! I didn’t see another until Sting in 1985. Good times!!!

Thankyou so much Dave, this was great to see info about Shaun. He is very active on social media at the moment and has 2 live concerts coming up in California this month (May 2019) and is announcing more soon. His fans cannot wait to see him performing live again.

Dave, so many comments on this one, so I just want to say "THANKS"! Loved it!!

I cried all night when he got married the first time 😂 LOVED American Gothic!

Hi Dave, another great video. Thank you for sharing. I really love hearing your kind thoughts 😊❤

Ah memories of every Sunday night. I was 5 when it aired. The van they drove, is when vans were the bomb. Custom paints, plush carpets, and custom graphics on the pannels.

I still have about 50-60 Hardy Boy books...I used to love that show as a kid.

@Dave Sundstrom The Hardy Boys Mysteries TV series (1977 to 1979). Was not the first live action adaptation of Edward Stratemeyer's classic characters. The original Mickey Mouse Club TV show from 1956, featured two Hardy Boys TV serials, starring Tim Considine and Tommy Kirk. In 1967 NBC aired a hour-long pilot for a Hardy Boys television series. The pilot was based on The Mystery of the Chinese Junk. It starred Tim Matthieson (later Matheson) as Joe Hardy and Rick Gates as Frank. Both actors were in their early twenties at the time. So, the Hardy Boys were portrayed as young adults rather than children. Unlike the Mickey Mouse Club TV serials.

My sister had the biggest crush on Shaun Cassidy when she was a teenager. She had a giant poster of him on her wall and every time I walked into her room I would see his eyes and it would scare the crap out of me.lol

Interesting video and got me caught up on this interesting personality. I really respect, Dave Sundstrom, that you respect the privacy of the people who do these little vignettes about.

Another fine video, and you it on another series in Hardy Boys.... I have fond memories of. Glad Shaun is doing well these days.

ROAR was another masterpiece, besides American Gothic which was THE BEST SHOW on TV at that time. I had all of it on VHS. I *knew* from episode one that Heath Ledger was something extremely special. Thank you Shaun! I had your albums, posters, & LOVED Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew having read all the books. I used to beg my Mom & Dad to let me skip church on Sunday night so I could watch. Shaun is a legend & so was David, whom I fell for at the age of 6! Thanks for gr8 update, Dave!

My girlfriend and I were in love with Sean ! we were in high school and he was a Dreamboat and he could sing.

Shaun was my first crush! His concert was my first concert as well!

I been huge fan of Shaun Cassidy I even saw him in concert back in 79 and plus a huge of his brother David and I always will ( I have all Shaun albums ) he also had a hand with blood brothers

He was a major Teen Idol in the late 70's. I remember there was a huge rivalry between Shaun and Teen singing sensation Leif Garrett back then. Them both battled it out to be the hottest Teen Idol. Obviously Leif Garrett took over the Teen Idol arena....Wow Leif!!! But Shaun has Leif beat in the postcareer department for shure.

Shawn had a killer band when he played out. The late great Denny Greenspoon of 3 Dog Night on keyboards, Room 222 character actor David Jollife (also played a motorcycle gang member on The Partridge Family. ) Jay Gruska on piano..Carlos Vega on drums from the 79 Live album That's Rock n Roll Live. Any chance of ever doing a tribute video of David Cassidy?!?!. I wish more people would have seen him for the talented musician he really was. His solo career in the RCA label from 75 to 77 was, to me, at his best, brilliant southern California sound. Hanging with the likes of the band America, Flo & Eddie of The Turtles, his producer Beach Boys, Bruce Johnston and beach boys drummer Ricky Fataar. The list goes on and on. I can go on and on as well. I appreciate all you do my friend! Rowland

Oh, man. Dynamite magazine! I forgot all about that. You got a subscriber for that alone. Going to check out your other uploads. Btw, I also loved the hardy boys Nancy drew crossovers...they were my favorite of both shows. I recall one involving a vampire. Oh, the 70s...

Your videos are well done. Thanks for a trip down memory lane. I will share this on my social media and hopefully others will show up to take part in a piece of history.

The first concert I ever attended was to see Shaun Cassidy. My older sister accompanied me and we had a blast!

I had a satin jacket with his picture on the back and a pair of bell bottom jeans to match. I was in love with him lol

Shaun Cassidy was my first concert. Cobo Arena Deeeetroit MI. Watched Hardy Boys every Sunday night.

I rewatched the Hardy Boys Dracula episode this past Halloween. What fun !

Shaun Cassidy was my very first concert, I was 14 and he came to Cincinnati. It was great, Shaun Cassidy was my first teenage crush, was so good looking, wow and I loved the Hardy Boys mysteries

He certainly did NOT Da- do run away from the biz. Sorry. Had to say that. He's an admirable man.

I watched Hardy Boys tv show some My sister 2 years younger than me had a big crush on Shaun Cassidy great video again glad to see he is still working in the entertainment field

I grew up reading the Hardy Boys. Enjoyed the show as a grown man. Thanks for sharing this and other videos. 🙂

I loved American Gothic, " someone's at the door"! I think people were just not ready for that kind of show at that time.

Shawn Cassidy, Also spent a while on General Hospital, in the 80's ( Dusty ) I believe....

My sisters and I seen Shaun Cassidy in concert. I remember he jumped through a paper hoop. We watched both tv shows The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. I read a few of the books in school library. Also read Dynamite magazine and 16 and Tiger Beat. Had posters that literally looked like wallpaper from ceiling to floor and Shaun Cassidy had a corner to himself. : ) Bought his albums the week they were out. Before Oprah ended her talk show, she interviewed him. I had to tell my sisters to watch. We all had a crush on him. : ) Those memories are part of my growing up. Angie St. Louis, Missouri

Loved the hardy boys/Nancy drew mysteries.

My wife adored him when she was a kid. We both love American Gothic. Potato Boy is our favorite episode. He is a genius that is just ahead of his time concidering AHS and other quality horror tv shows are the current trend.

I still have the born late album and I'll never give it up!

Nice to know what happened to him! Love New Amsterdam!

Thank you so much for doing this video. My very first record album I ever bought with my own money was Shaun Cassidy Under Wraps! How I wish I still had that album!

So fun story. I was about 7 or 8 and I entered a contest at a local record store called, Win a date with Shaun Cassidy, I had such a huge crush on him and so this would’ve been a dream come true for me. Well I didn’t win but did get a first place prize which was a signed picture of him, his album, a life size cut out and a beach towel. I still felt like such a winner.

I saw him in concert. American Gothic was good I liked it. I'm glad I have the DVD. And I have all three seasons of The Hardy Boys.

Very nice, thank you! 👍🏼

Hi Dave, great to see this feature on one of my favorite singers! As for “The Hardy Boys Mysteries” being popular enough to land on a Dynamite magazine cover, I think that had to do with their managers’ influence, too. “Da Doo Ron Ron” was a hit for The Crystals originally. As for the cover with Chewbacca, they called it a composite or some pre-Photoshop word back then. “Hey Deanie” was also an Eric Carmen song, and The Lovin Spoonful did “Do You Believe In Magic” first. My sister was also a big fan but she was disinterested when I gave her the "Under Wraps" album as she'd lost interest by then. Hey, I am really puzzled why you said Shaun’s two albums after “Born Late” were not hits instead of saying his next four albums after “Born Late” were not hits. Don’t you like his very different last album “Wasp” with Todd Rundgren and Utopia, and covers of David Bowie, Talking Heads, the Who etc songs? I always thought it’s amazing. Also what about his 1989 musical comeback with "Memory Girl"? In terms of acting, how about also his Golden Globe award--nominated 1979 TV movie “Like Normal People” with Linda Purl who was later on “Happy Days”? How About a “Whatever Happened To Linda Purl”? Or actresses Glynnis O’Connor or Lynn-Holly Johnson? Great work, have a super day! :-)

Dave, that is why you're our leader.

I thought Parker Stevenson was THE dream man! In all seriousness, I spent my youth in the elementary library reading and taking out the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books...I love them!

I watched The Hardy Boys as a kid but I honestly don't remember much about it except for one episode in which Shaun's character, Joe, and his fiancée were in a car accident and she died. For some reason, that episode haunted me as a kid. I also watched Nancy Drew but I don't remember anything about it other than Pamela Sue Martin. Good to see Shaun is still active in the industry. Thanks for sharing! Oh, final question: what da heck is a daa doo ron ron?

TALENT. 60S 70S 80S SITCOMS COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH WITHOUT PERVERSION. APPRECIATE THE VIDEOS YOU DO SIR. THANK YOU Dave

Hello Dave. Enjoyed your video and your commentary on the Hardy Boys and Shawn Cassidy. I wondered what happened to him as I too watched that show and listened to his music. Thanks for the update! ❤️💜💚

Loved the Hardy Boys too. Was one of my favourite shows when I was a kid. Unfortunately I don't think we got Dynamite here in Australia (or if we did my mum wasn't buying it for me lol). So glad I came across your channel!

My sister named me after him, she had a huge crush on him

Dude... if we would have known one another as kids... we would have been best friends! We have such similar likes for tv shows. I LOVED the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and Like you loved the crossovers! And I was pleasant surprised to see you had an issue of Dynamite magazine! I loved that magazine as akid. Hey Dave here is an idea... have you thought about doing a video on some of the kid/ teen magazines that were big during the time period you cover? It would be cool to see some of the covers with some of the stars of the 70’s and 80’s and how they look now. Just and idea. Great video.. didn’t know Shaun has done some of the tv shows you cited. Glad to hear he is doing well!

Shaun Cassidy was my very first concert. My mom took me which surprised the hell out of me. I didn’t think she would. I wore a new flowered pink dress and brown leather sandals with my first pair of pantyhose. I felt so special. Shaun was amazing on stage. I’m 53 years old and can still picture the day. It’s one of my favorite memories I have of my mother. She passed away 3 years ago from Alzheimer’s.

He also was a producer on blue bloods

American gothic was Flimed in Wilmington NC my hometown

American Gothic was a great show! I forgot all about it until I watched this video. The other short lived television show, Roar with Heath Ledger was pretty great as well. I didn’t even realize Shaun Cassidy produced both of those tv series. It’s a shame that so many great television shows weren’t allowed to grow and find there audience and there respective networks also treated them very poorly! This video once again shows us that just because we haven’t seen a certain actor on the small or big screening a very long time doesn’t mean that they completely disappeared. People like Shaun Cassidy are now working behind the camera and not in-front.

I had a crush on David Cassidy 😁

I love "The Hardy Boys" interpretation on South Park. They were named "The Hardly Boys" and they kept getting clues.

Shaun was my one and only celebrity crush in high school. The only one I collected Tiger Beat for and put his picture up on my bedroom wall...

I got to see him in concert in Memphis loved it

I wonder how many posters had the staple holes from tearing the centerfold out of magazines...no, not THAT centerfold, the Tiger Beat centerfolds. lol Both Cassidys had perfect hair with feathered bangs. 😁

Now I remember. His album came with a free iron on design for t -shirts.

Live this channel. Live your bit on shaun. Miss these shows from the 70s and 80s. They were the best

Oh how I always loved Shaun bought all his albums too. :D Thank you.

I watched Shaun on Hardy Boys and then i listened to his music. Both were awesome

My two older sisters loved this guy. Watched Hardy boys, Nancy Drew every week.

I do not remember much about this other than the Hardy Boy's and Nancy Drew was my sister's show.

What stunning eyes he has! 💕😍💕

He was my boyfriend in my mind when I was a little girl. I had posters of him and Donny Osmond all over my room.

The Hardy Boys was on every Sunday night and my sister and I were glued to the television. Shaun Cassidy posters in our bedroom and the Do Run Run playing on our record player and I would be singing to that song over and over and over ❤️❤️❤️❤️

First record I ever had as a kid was Born Late. I still know the words to every song on that album.

My sister had a Shaun Cassidy poster and a David Cassidy one. My mom let me have a Linda Carter poster and a Suzanne Sommers one later because my sister and I shared a room till she moved out when I was 13.

Yes, I was a HUGE Shaun Cassidy fan, sat front n center at Nassau Colosseum at age 11 to see him in concert. Lol, good memories!

Nothing really happened to him....he's probably home with his family....greating ready for Christmas...I know he will be missing his step bro. David for the Holidays...
