The show began with six co-hosts (David Steinberg, Chris Bokeno, Larry Hankin, Paul Reid Roman, Christopher Ross and Lily Tomlin) who would also do comedic skits between musical numbers. This format lasted for 6 episodes. Beginning with the first episode in November, David Steinberg became the sole host with different special guest hosts. Unfortunately, this format change did not bring new viewers, and the show was canceled less than three months later.
A regular skit on the show was David Steinberg interacting with a giant ape leg that he would refer to as "Kong". In the final episode they make plans to meet in 20 years, with Kong suggesting he wear a carnation so that Steinberg will recognize him.
ABC aired two 45-minute-long episodes back-to-back to counteract the competition in the 8:00-9:00 slot, which included Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1967)); Music Scene aired at 7:30 (ET), immediately before The New People (1969), another 45-minute program.
