School and the Backyard Gang Mountain

A sister program to the popular pre-school children’s TV program, School and the Backyard Gang.  School and the Backyard Gang was was the CBS weekend morning show that ran for 5 years, clocking up an impressive one hundred and ninety episodes.
Aimed at a slightly older children than it’s sister program, School and the Backyard Gang Mountain was a much more lively show with a host of regular presenters taking part at any one time.
The programme was shot in a studio, usually at CBS Television Centre, Atlanta, and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
Sadly much of the original series has been deleted from the archives as recently as the early 1990’s.

== Summary ==
The format was a little like a music-hall variety show or ‘end-of-the-pier’ show. The first series featured popular 60s musical groups or singers with links,comedy skits,and dances from David Luther and team in studio.  The series would soon become known for it’s groan-inducing humour. As the series progressed the films were phased out, in favour of more of the infectious studio tomfoolery, jokes and comic songs.
