    I absolutely LOVE the intro to the ABC Monday Night Movie. You can tell it was played by a real orchestra and sounds so majestic and lively that it's one of my favorite movie of the week intros. I do know them all by heart. There was something about those beautiful orchestral themes, intros, and outros that made me want to watch the movies more. My childhood was certainly rich because of 70s television. ❤❤❤❤👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

      Look, that's Vivian "Ethel Mertz" Vance of "I Love Lucy" fame hawking Maxwell House Instant Coffee"! I met Vivian Vance in the summer of 1977 at the Cherry County Playhouse in Traverse City Michigan where she was starring in the play "HARVEY" - early one evening I saw Vivian Vance heading toward the playhouse parking lot and she was carrying a huge WHITE STUFFED RABBIT to her Ford Granada. I approached as she was struggling to hold the huge rabbit and get the keys from her purse and I said, "Hello" and I told her that I was a big fan and she smiled and said, "Honey, I'm so tired" and I offered to hold the giant rabbit while she got out her keys and opened the door, took the rabbit from me and smiled at me & said "Come see the show, Honey" in that "Ethel Mertz/Vivian Bagley" kind of way. She was much shorter in person and her hair was "snow white" but she just oozed charisma. I never got to see the show but I did get to exchange a few words with one of the all time greats. And that was the last time anyone ever called me "Honey".

    Ernest used to hang out with seemingly random people he didn't necessarily know. I remember a road trip to San Diego from the valley with some acquaintance I met, tripping. The acquaintance said he knew some celebrities, made a call, and next thing I knew we were on our way. So surreal, but I have pictures. I got the feeling they were related, but never asked. I was silent the whole time for all intents. I never did get my head around the whole thing, as I said, so very surreal.

      We were traveling around that week somewhere on the Eastern Seaboard...
      We were at an backyard Italian barbecue. First time I had ever had Italian barbecue chicken.
      Right afterwards we loaded up and went to a Bicentennial concert at the Washington Monument.
      I saw Dizzy Gillespie perform.
      I know that we were in Washington when the Redskins played a pre season game that I watched with the family that we were visiting, and the huge tin can of Charles BBQ potato chips.
      It was also the first time that I had ever heard of and saw the legendary John Matuszak play.
      [Self Edit] I'm wrong...
      The commercial for the '76 Summer Games refreshed my memory.
      We weren't on the trip across the country until after the closing ceremony.
      So we didn't start our state hopping until August/September.

    Earnest Borgnine would then go on 4 years after this to play an almost identical role again as a partner, but this time a Sergeant, to actor Terrence Hill in the movie "Superfuzz" which hit the theaters in 1980, who instead of being a cop robot like in this tv movie above, was instead a regular cop that came in contact with radioactive material and then acquired super powers, kind of like a superman cop. Well worth the watch if you enjoyed this tv movie and can find it.

      @@TheRealPynkPanther Since you asked, on the Friday, July 9, 1976 finale of Rhyme and Reason, the set got trashed. The gameplay went on as planned where June Penrod the champion played the bonus rhyme and got $4,000 after getting 2 for 2,000. But Brian Biro (s.i.c.) became the last champion leaving June with a total of $4,250 after 2 matches. In the final bonus round of the series, Terry Carter guessed all three rhyming words that rhyme with "Gipper" where the final champion have to say the bonus rhyme from a movie line from Knute Rockne All American.
      After all that said and done, Brian Biro's total was $5,500. At the tail end of Bob Eubanks' speech, the trashing of the set starts as he says goodbye. Some of the poets got help from the staff in destroying various props, busted out the neon lights, tore the carpeting apart, and breaking the podiums where the contestants stand and the poets sit and even knocking down the host's podium.
      And no one knows how the finale of the daytime Let's Make a Deal played out, but Monty Hall's farewell speech was very heartfelt, to say the least.

    Here's a bit of background information. Science fiction writer Harlan Ellison pitched this idea to ABC, with the idea of adapting his short story "Brillo" to the screen. The premise was the same, but ABC said it wasn't interested. When this movie came out, the plagiarism was so obvious, Ellison sued ABC and won a settlement. It's a shame, because I liked this movie when I saw it, and wished ABC had played fairly with Ellison on this matter.

    WOW! Thank you for posting this 1976 presentation of FUTURE COP. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT FROM BEGINNING TO END! WHAT A TIME CAPSULE!
    I was born in 1974 California & never new about this! A little
    "West World™", with some inspiration for
    "Knight Rider™",
    & "ROBOCOP™". DELIGHTFUL!
    I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOUR DOING WITH THE PRESERVATION OF THIS & OTHERS. GREAT IDEA!
    I RECORDED A LOT OF THINGS THAT INTERESTED ME OFF OF T.V. From the late 1980's Thru 2015 onto 300 VHS tapes I still have. I think everything I recorded, other people did also. I don't think I have anything that can't be found on RUclips. One thing that comes to mind though, is. . . .
    I had 3 brand new blank VHS tapes ready to record on Sept. 11th 2001. As soon as I heard on my clock radio that a 2nd plane hit the twin towers, I leapt out of bed & popped the 1st of 3 VHS tapes in, & pressed record set on 6 hr mode as I turned the channel to CNN. I stayed home from work that day.
    I was afraid to leave the house for 3 days.
    I didn't know if there was going to be widespread panic, looting,
    toilet paper hoarding,
    "Sleeper Cells", "Manchurian Candidates" or if that event was going to "trigger" people that were already "on edge" or what. I just kept recording & flipping channels thru every NEWS station until those 3 tapes were full!
    The Spanish channels actually showed people jumping out the windows of the towers to escape the fire before the calapsing started.
    I also recorded building #5 calapsing around
    5pm. Like a perfect demolition.
    (That's the 7 story office building that contained all the files of financial records that wasn't hit by a plane or anything). . . .
    (That was weird).
    I don't know If any of these tapes will still play after being in a metal storage facility for over 20 years in California weather.
