 Don't count on anything coming out soon as you yourself alluded to, it has been off-the-air for a generation and people don't have the same kind of interest as people my age do. 

 Dick Clark Productions own the kinescopes/videotapes of American Bandstand and they have proven in the past to be very niggardly about letting others see it without paying for its use. 

 The best ways to see these shows is that twenty years ago, dcp offered ""Best of..."" videotapes (note I said 'tape') and you might be able to get them on ebay or just watch Time-Life informercials that advertise 50's music, some of those kinescopes of the performers lip-syncing were from either American Bandstand, The Ed Sullivan Show or some of the other regional dance shows that were on-the-air at that time.   16:33, 19 August 2009"
