I almost wish Halloween was playing. Great movie! Maybe it's just me but I LOVE that jingle for Freshen Up gum. That song is extremely catchy. Back whey bothered to actually come up with great jingles for commercials.😭
This is right before WSM-TV changed its call letters to WSMV. 7:05 - RIP Dan Miller & Bill Hall; Charlie McAlexander is also there. 9:33 - I loved SCTV, even more than I've ever liked SNL (which I don't like now). 11:15 - That's a nice version of WSM's "We're Four" theme. 14:14 - I imagine NASHVILLE PALACE got its best ratings on this station. I don't remember it at all myself. 14:25 - I don't remember Donald Pleasance at all from SNL, but I imagine he did a few interesting things. 17:00 - I remember when MILLER & COMPANY premiered after SNL May 1980. WSM moved the show after SNL tanked in the ratings fall 1980. I was fortunate enough to get a tour of WSM studios Aug. 1980, and I remember seeing the "set" for the show (the restaurant booth) on its side to a side of the main stage. 24:10 ULTRA-QUIZ, hosted by Rowan & Martin, flopped badly in the US after being a huge hit in Japan. It didn't translate over well culturally.
