why I'm not a fan of Part 2 of the Dobbie Brothers ep-lol That was way too much music for a 30 minute episode. I think the producers forgot a viewer only has 30 min to watch a episode. I think it was a horrible and lazy job by the producers to just show a Doobie Brothers Concert for like 10 min. I watch a sitcom to laugh not look at music-lol

I didn't mind it at all, the Doobie Brothers rocked it out!

You have to understand, during this time the Doobie Brothers were mega-stars. It would be like having Britney Spears on a sitcom (which recently occurred) and having her sing songs. The Doobies were winning awards, grammys, they eventually earned song of the year and other accolades. Them having added Michael McDonald just raised their status as rock stars even more. To me, hearing them play for ONLY ten minutes was not enough.

Taking it to the streets was the bomb!

Takin' It To The Streets (Doobie Brothers)
Words and Music by Michael McDonald

You don't know me but I'm your brother.
I was raised here in this living hell.
You don't know my kind in your world.
Fairly soon the time will tell.

You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for runnin', takin' it to the streets.

Take this message to my brother.
You will find him everywhere.
Wherever people live together,
tied in poverty's despair.

Oh, you, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for runnin', takin' it to the streets.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for hidin', takin' it to the streets.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
takin' it to the...

Oh, you, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
no more need for runnin', takin' it to the streets,
Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets,
takin' it to the streets.

I liked the Doobies two episodes

But I would NEVER EVER watch Britney Spears sing anything, I couldn't stand to watch her for 5 mins never the less 20 mins lol

I know, me either... I am just trying to give a good example of a "hot" celeb that makes an appearance on television. WH was 20 years ago. Their appeal is hard to understand when they are no longer a group, selling records, etc.

I still wish the concert was OFF SCREEN-lol

I agree with you 100% Solomon. I know they needed to have the concert for the plot purpose for Rerun to be caught with the recorder but the concert just made the episode drag to me.

then how would the 2nd part have played out without the concert? Rerun needed to be seen recording them...without that footage of the band, what do any of you suggest the episode be played out? How could they have made a 25 minute episode? Show the boys hanging out at the soda shop and then have a commercial and then show them after the concert is over?

Generally speaking, that particular two-parter episode of the Doobie Brothers was more than A-OK with me! :cool: :happyface
Anyhow, I think that it brought more excitement to the sitcom as a whole, granted that WH was just in its second season (rather, toward the end of it.)
It gave most of its viewers (at the time) something to look forward to, at least... :cool: :lol:

Well to be honest with you the doobie brothers storyline was kind of weak and shouldn't have ever been created-lol

It may be weak to you, but when it was shown during its first run, it was an exciting thing. You don't seem to get that if a series has a celebrity of some sort on their show and that celebrity is in its prime, then, it's going to be awesome. Seeing it now in reruns, unless you are from that era (a teen or adult, I don't mean a young kid) you will never appreciate the status the group brought to WH.

It was a better concert than the ones the gang did in the 3rd season, LOL. Now that one should have never been filmed.

:dance: yeah, that was a good episode. I went out and purchased their greatest hits CD after that episode. *irene dancing*

"I'm Roger Thomas. Which Doobie you be?"

The two part episode Doobie or Not Doobie is my all time favorite WH episode. I didn't see it in it's original run as I was barely 2 years old at the time. I first saw it around 1980 in syndication and it quickly became a favorite of mine.

:dance: yeah, that was a good episode. I went out and purchased their greatest hits CD after that episode.
Really???? Wow. I love their music. I have their CD's. I remember when I was growing up I bought their music on 8-tracks!!:lol: :lol:

I haven't heard of anyone owning 8-track tapes since the Flinstones. My mom with 8 -Track tapes? Nope, all LPS, no 45s, she liked the extended versions. Sho, we were "moving on up in the world":dance:

Plus, I wasn't old enough yet for an allowance to get 8-track tapes:)
