The '''''Kooser Main Show & Dolli Showtape''''' was the first show produced for [[Kooser PTT Show]] at the [[San Jose, CA (1371 Kooser Rd)]] location, releasing in December of 1978.

== Production ==
For the Dolli part of the Showtape, the audio would be produced at Corasound Recording (122E Paul Drive, San Rafael. CA 94903) in two sessions. Session recording #1 was done on November 9, 1978. The audio consists of the final versions and outtakes for segments 1, and 3-11. The session recording #2 was done on November 13, 1978, consisting of the final versions and outtakes for segments 2, and 12-20. The 8-track master tape was recorded on an *Otari MX 5050.<ref name="cep1">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdZcDC1pJyc youtube.com]</ref><ref name="cep2">[https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Recording-Engineer/70s/Recording-1978-10.pdf worldradiohistory.com]</ref><ref name="cep3">[https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Mix-Magazine/70s/1979/Mix-1979-07.pdf worldradiohistory.com]</ref>

== Showtape Run ==
There is conflicting evidence on whether the showtape was played throughout the entirety of the [[Kooser PTT Show]] run until it was replaced by [[Cyberamics]] in Spring of 1980, or if other tapes were made to replace it. One image of the showtape can be seen in March of 1979, with an April article confirming the original tape's programming was still in the store.<ref name="cep4">[https://archive.org/details/PersonalComputing197904/page/n11/mode/2up?q=pizza+time+theatre+pdp archive.org]</ref>
However, in the ''Real People'' footage of the Kooser store, a tape with a different label can be seen on the deck. The footage would air as part of Season 3, Episode 13, on November 12, 1980. It is believed that Real People filmed Season 2 and 3 simultaneously, explaining the gap between the footage and the final air date. Season 1 would conclude on April 18, 1979, and the Kooser Rd store would upgrade to Cyberamics in either April or May of 1980. This makes the potential filming date between those dates.
This puts the differently labeled tape after the March 1979 label, and consequently, the Main Show segments believed to be from the store's initial opening could actually be new ones from this differently labeled tape.
It is unclear however if this label change was just for labeling, a simple revision to the initial tape's programming, or an entirely different tape from the one at the store's debut.

== Main Show List ==
Out of the twelve segments confirmed for the show,<ref name="cep5">[https://www.showbizpizza.com/info/articles/cec/ptt_79sjmercury.pdf showbizpizza.com]</ref> only 'Hooray for Hollywood' is known to exist in full. A fragment of 'Down By the Old Mill Stream' was featured on an episode of the show ''Real People'' in 1979.<ref name="cep6">[https://youtu.be/EdKLsomLbtY youtu.be]</ref> In addition, an article from 'Food Service Marketing' mentions the song 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy', but whether this was a modified version of [[Pizza Time Theatre Showtape]] or was an entirely new version is unknown.<ref name="cep7">[https://www.showbizpizza.com/info/articles/cec/ptt_79fsm.pdf showbizpizza.com]</ref> From the [['Pizza Time (Birthday 8-TR)' (November 13, 1978)]] is a clip of 'The Sidewalks of New York'. This is also potentially a clip that was used in this tape, but that could also likely be the potential second variant of the tape mentioned above.
