I know some people would like to say they wish they could go back to the 1980s especially the early 80s but I don’t think they would want to. Think of all the things we would miss, but I did enjoy watching movies on channel 38 and I enjoyed watching Dana Hersey. Fun times and fond memories but I could never want to go back in time to that era.
Yeah they announced it a few weeks in advance so we all had time to get them at the store I think I got mine at either Cumberland farms or little peach I don't remember
I remember when they showed Friday the 13th part one and part two uncut. I wasn’t old enough to watch it but I kept sneaking into the living room to get a glimpse. Let’s just say I didn’t sleep for a week after that
I remember watching this film on TV38. What is interesting is that the majority of the films they showed were on actual 16mm film stock , like this one. Complete with scratches and a feeling of nostalgia. I miss this TV station.
Such a wonderful memory thank you for uploading this. It was for me a glance memory back in time. Back before cable tv, internet and cell phones. I enjoyed Dana Hersey's commentary very much - most professional and classic voice. This is a childhood gem, thanks.
The opening theme makes me want to draw a warm bath and take a sharp object in with me, wondering where the hell my life has gone over the past 40 years. 😬 😢
Always loved the movie loft and channel 38 wsbk (Go Bruins, lol!), Dana was an awesome host, and him & Joyce Kulhawik were awesome at covering entertainment news in Boston in the 70's and 80's. Frank Avrusch pretty cool too.
..An outstanding cast including Wayne Crawford, Fred Ward, Lee Van Cleef, Micheal Dudikoff, Tim Thomerson and Sandahl Bergman..in the Greatest movie MADE!!!
I remember one of the competing stations put up a movie show later on where they marketed their 'advantage' that they had no host interrupting the movie. In the commercial they had an obvious Dana Hersey lookalike saying, "And now....for your pleasure I will juggle!" It was kind of funny--but I used to watch The Movie Loft all the time for Dana's info in-between commercials!
Actually I used to enjoy it I was just a kid but I remember watching these movies I think it was on Friday or Saturday night and you know with my parents me and brother and sister or my sister was probably too little but my parents and we used to like the commentary he talk a lot about the movie not too much
@electrogeek77 - NYers probably would have grown up watching movie programs on PIX and Channel 9, and a few others. The Movie Loft was indy, low-key, and ran lots of great movies. Also, un-cut movies and, kind of unknown ones too, with a lot of background info. at breaks by Dana Hersey. First place I saw Spielbergs' "Duel", and others. Guess you can only go back here on YT..
Upstate NY here, had tv-38, wpix-11 and wwor-9, evokes some good and sadly bad childhood memories. I remember when TML showed the Terminator uncut, that was a big deal back then!! lol.
Channel had so much variety… great movies, reruns of mostly new great shows like Cheers taxi, 3s company. Had rights to all the professional Boston sport teams Celtics Red Sox Bruins and showed live games.
The Movie Loft was for movie lovers. Dana would discuss what went into making those movies, so we all got an even greater appreciation of them.
I remember this so well. They used used to play really high quality movies. It’s sad that there’s nothing like this on tv anymore.
So many great nights at my folks watching the movie loft.
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 I used to watch this with my Dad
I miss the era of movies on the late show, or even in prime time on the indie station.
I Miss The Movie Loft!

What part of New York Matthew? Also do you remember the blizzard of 78? I think it hit New York also
Grew up watching this guy!
Love that theme! Makes me want to watch a movie. I remember when the movie loft played those 3-D movies and you had to get glasses at Lil Peach, etc.
+jsngallery yup, summer of '82.....got my glasses at Store 24

Dana sounds like a trained actor.

Dana came to Universal Studios on June 7th 1990 for the grand opening. We had a great talk
I miss that music
I still have a tv38 movie loft official mug
They always were really excellent movies
I met Dana in 1980 when I was on the Willie Whistle Show....
Classic WSBK TV 38! And the Stooges Marathon!
Yup. Can’t forget the three stooges marathon. Don’t forget Creature double feature on channel 56 on Saturdays!
The Deer Hunter was on all the time!
Quality TV from a better time.
When I saw this, I was so excited that I yammered on an on to my NY-transplant husband about The Movie Loft. You just can't go back...
Your content is great!
when the holidays actually meant something to us

@@hansgrueber8169 Capital Cablevision carried WSBK, WOR and WPIX. Great memories growing up in the Capital Region.

Tv 38 the movie loft bruins red Sox stooges ask the manager better days!
Wow, the good old days when a TV station could say "Merry Christmas"!!!!!
Who did the music for this opening? Anyone have a name of the composer?
I wish I knew, as well. I've wanted to know this, for a long time!
You could play it on SoundHound. Fir obscure stuff I've had the best luck with Google Sound Search.
