The Music Shop is a music television series on NBC which premiered in 1959 in a Sunday time slot. Hosted by and starring Buddy Bregman, the show attempted to capitalize on the popularity of the related series The Dick Clark Show.
Its first show featured Bobby Darin, Ritchie Valens, The Collins Kids, Gary Crosby, and Sam Butera.
Bregman said that his show differed from Clark's because he sought as guests "the Dean Martins, Frank Sinatras, and Eddie Fishers", rather than just "teen-age recording artists".
The program was also known as the Buddy Bregman Music Show.
