The Group and Chapman
The Group and Chapman was a local Dallas–Fort Worth television bandstand program that broadcast on WFAA-TV on Saturday evenings. It featured Ron Chapman and Ralph Baker Jr as hosts. The show developed into the weekday afternoon Sump'n Else show that broadcast on WFAA-TV. The set of Sump'n Else would later be moved to Northpark Center in September 1965. Joan Prather and Calleen Anderegg both members of the Sump'n Else Little Group dancers began on this show. The set of this show was located at WFAA Communications Center Studios in Downtown Dallas. Both Chapman and Baker were KLIF-AM announcers at the same time they were at WFAA-TV. The original name of the show was The Group and Harrigan because when Chapman worked at KLIF, he was part of the Charley and Harrigan Show and voiced the character of Irving Harrigan. When he left KLIF in 1965, he was forced to use a different name because KLIF claimed to own the Irving Harrigan name. He used his real surname Chapman and the show became The Group and Chapman.
