    Fall Preview Shows

    Brian's post about Saturday morning cartoons led me to some research on the preview shows the networks used to do to promote the line ups. What I had no memory of, however, was what the Staurday morning preview shows were off-shoots of- The Fall Prime Time Network Special.

    WHile I couldn't find any of the Sat morning preview shows, there are a TON of the ABC prime time specials on you tube, covering the entire 1970's (and then some). There a pretty slow, but they really take you back to time when TV was incredibly relevant. I especially enjoyed watching the previews for the network-produced telemovies.

    Here's 1979-

          That was pretty cool. I watched the 79 one. Funny seeing the "new" shows that didn't become hits.

              When I was a kid, I loved watching those type of shows. Fond memories.

                              I have one of those Good Times semi-bootleg videos that compiles old Batman material, and Adam West and Burt Ward hosted ABC's preview in 66 or 67 as Batman & Robin.

                              I seem to remember Henry Winkler as the Fonz hosting several in the 70s/80s.

                                              NBC had one on recently for it's new (prime time) Fall lineup...unfortunately the only one that looked any good was Chuck.
