I quote the following from his autobiography"Polish Prince"published in 1978.
"It wasn't a network show, but had to be syndicated station by station.
Nevertheless ,through the efforts of Sandy Frank, eventually it was bought
by more than one hundred stations in all the major markets of
(The show was owned by Chuck Barris and Buddy Granoff.) We sailed through
the first year with excellent ratings, and, although TV is no substitute for a live
performance, we reached a much broader audience than I could have ever had
playing in clubs, all my life.Unfortunately, television executives can't stand success.
The CBS people analyzed the "Bobby Vinton Show" and decided the success
was due to its production and comedy and not so much to Bobby Vinton.
When I saw the results of editing of my second year's shows, I could scarcely
believe it. Bobby Vinton was limited to a few appearances and the guests were
prominently featured; the format was turned upside down and a lot of the spirit
was taken out.The show didn't have the same feeling of fun as it had the first
year.Then the ratings started to fall off, but this convinced the exectives only
that my first year was a fluke! They dropped their share of backing for the show.
With my budget accordingly reduced, I decided not to try to go beyond the three-
year contact. Although in
it for the fourth year, I told Art Weinthal, the head of Canadian Network, that I
wanted to quit while I was ahead. It was an exciting adventure, and it coincided
with the success of "My melody of love" to spread that message to a wide audience.
