Endless Summer was an 8-episode, summer fill-in TV series originally broadcast (and never repeated) in 1989.  The format featured the Beach Boys performing live in concert, guest musical artists, stand-up comedians and the best part, the Beach Boys sitting on the beach, around a fire, reminiscing on the 60’s, telling stories & singing songs very much like their 1965 LP, “Party!”
