Roger Grimsby, "Jeans weren't made for blimps." Straight faced. Here I'm dying 🤣 Loved him & Bill Beutel.
LMFAOO Classic@@@!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wish Channel 7 would bring back the Cool Hand Luke theme. I love it.
@@sillygoose635 your opinion
@@sillygoose635It sounds pretty smooth to me
Can I go back to 1980 , I was 15
I was 2.
Take me with you.
I was 11-1980 was a fun year. I didn't give two shits about politics, religion or anything like that. I lived in Southern California and I was only interested in the NFL and skateboarding.
Thanks for the memories ✌🏽🙏🏾 Bill Beutel the only one I recognized in this video😳 he died saturday , March 18 2006 at the age of 75 🤔 I was 18 years old when I started watching channel 7 In nyc...didn’t speak any English but did learn a lot by watching 'Eyewitness’
Just turned 12 years old when this newscast aired.
RIP Roger Grimsby, Bill Beutel, Bob Miller, John Slattery, Milt Lewis & Roger Sharp. Tracy went upstate to WTEN, now retired, don't know Storm's whereabouts, but this was when the news was worth watching!
Storm Field, Born Elliott David Field, November 25, 1948 (age 75) Field was let go by WWOR in 2007 after ten years due to cutbacks at both WWOR and its sister station, WNYW, and was replaced by former WCBS weather personality Audrey Puente. He retired shortly thereafter. Field has two daughters and lives in Westchester County, New York.
@@DonKeecock Thanks for the update. I remember he worked at Ch. 2 as well. I'd like to know what ever happened to Chee Chee Williams?
R.I.P Roger Grimsby Bill Beutel Roger Sharp n John Slattery
That theme song brings back childhood memories.
I can’t get enough of it! I get chills. I think it is a wonderful news orchestral piece. I could play it on repeat tbh. I’m also in tv news. None of the local news intro music is like this anymore.
Cool hand Luke movie.
They should bring back it back
Same.
Yes it does😎👍 Love it!!
Bill Beutel was the nicest newsman opposite Roger Grimsby
I'm from long Island this is a part of my childhood
This is so much more interesting than the news of today!
not true.
@@sillygoose635 opinion something you can’t judge
@@sillygoose635He said interesting - not sad and pathetic
Interesting because we know how it all turned out. Today, we think the media was somehow different. It's still the same ol same ol.
I remember that drought of 1980. My Dad dug a hole in our back yard and pumped ground water out to water the garden. Scary times. Thanks.
Tomorrow will be John Lennon's 40th Birthday. His last. In five days I will be 15. I was born on Lenny Bruce's and Margaret Thatcher's 40th birthday. It would be Lenny's last.
Great Video
Thank You for posting. Love The Whole Eyewitness News real . Miss Bill and Roger
Good evening. I'm Roger Grimsby, here now the news.
Miss 1980 wanna. Relive. My. Senior. Year. Wanna. Relive. 1980
The Boy Band Cons” documentary brought me here. Late Alan Gross was telling the story of Jordache Blimp crash, and how Lou Pearlman purposely orchestrated this disaster to get a $3 Million insurance.
October 8, 1980 (I was 8 year old at that time) I was in my 6th year in The Bronx when all this was happening. The NYCTA buses and subway cars were experiencing a Graffiti pandemic. Carter will lose the presidency to Reagan a month later. This new decade would start a development for me that will garnish so many awards along the way
I was 11 years old lots of beautiful and good memories know i am 53 years old
Back when news reporters had jokes
You can still see many gaffes and wisecracks if you watch news blooper compilations on YT. ;)
This was also my 12th birthday! Cool!
They noted in the promo they were on late, which suggested this was following Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia between the Phillies and Houston Astros which I believe started at 3:05 PM ET and was three hours, 34 minutes in length as the Astros won 7-4 in 10 innings.
Can you please upload Eyewitness News from 1971 when Peter Jennings anchored with Bill Beutel. Peter was subbing for Roger Grimsby.
A lot of top local stories, thanks for uploading. I guess Gabe Pressman was at WNBC at this time.
New York Memories....
24:31 I say this to every customer as they conclude their visit to the store i work in!
Not FAKE NEWS.
0:04 ABC's coverage of game 1 of the 1980 ALCS pushed the news back by about 15 minutes on this evening.
Grimsby must have thrown out one of his priceless asides as they were all fighting laughter when Tracy Egan was tossing back to Bill.
When NEWS was NEWS and not activist telling everyone how they should feel.
Real New Yorkers remember and love this.
Lol
Kudos 2 whoever cleaned up this video
I was 4 months old in Brooklyn. 👶🏼
Susana Sunshine I was 4 months old in Spanish Harlem! Lol
I was 24 years old in New Jersey
I was 6 months old down the street from that blimp!
I was 75 living in Connecticut and now I’m dead.
9:18 “Reagan also seen as a one-term President...”
Christopher u hot dude…would luv to talk more personal babe
2 term president
Keep the Bill Beutel gems coming.
Best lineup in NY market for news.
WHEN NEWS WAS TRUSTWORTHY .....
still is.
@@sillygoose635 not really
@@sillygoose635Good joke and the fools that agree with you 😂
News wasn’t corporate back then
@@sillygoose635you definitely win a DB award for that one
My dumpster is a bout 5-foot high! Lol.
Why tf am I watching this?, Maybe cuz I'm high
5:45 Broadcast is from: 5/6/1937
Boy I guess in Hindsight; Roger Grimsby did have a little smile now and then. But I did like him and Bill reading the news back then.
5:36
*in July of last year a goodyear blimp was torn from its (?) by heavy winds in Iowa lots of damage but no one hurt*
0:22 It was up for about two minutes….
and then it *crashed*
I miss him hahaha. So honest and to the point.
Actual grownups. Very reassuring.
Wow I was 14 years old this year 1980
@3:12 PLOT TWIST: After watching this Newscast, a new group of burglars broke in and stole every piece of paper in the house, leaving the family destitute.
Isabella lanza ...ahhh 79/80
It's funny how it took so long for people who are in charge of these big media news stations to figure out putting beautiful women on screen instead of old dudes would be good for ratings.
It's hard to beat Bob Guccione sipping on a can of Tab
Was class of 1980 the class of. 1980 rules. Rocked the best 80s class. 1980 best music. Cars.
Nah, 70s were better, although 1980 was better than what came after it though LOL
Class of 1980 here also.I was 17.Turned 18 in November.Wonderful memories.Ch.7 was my go to channel for the news.Great line up.Lived in Brooklyn.
Eyewitness News then Eyewitness News now
Can you leap me locate a news coverage regarding refugees arriving at JFK, May 21st 1986? News aired a few days later, I think.
Did they cut out the sports on this? The Yankees were falling on their faces in the ALCS at this time.
yes, they did. as stated in the description
My confusion this broadcast was on John Lennon’s 40th Birthday two months later he would be shot.
Funny how history repeats
Real news from real people who actually fact checked their work and took pride in their reporting....so much better than what we have now with fake news and fake people...
"Real news from real people who actually fact checked their work and took pride in their reporting...." sounds like now, but you wouldn't know anything about today's news.
@@sillygoose635 Kindergarteners with nothing but lies.
Whatever happened to Bob Miller
LOL got that prediction wrong 9:17
Sad to say
where is Ron Burgundy?
Was that blimp joke a joke made towards fat people?? I ain't gonna argue
Joseph mmmmm
Even in the early 80s Republicans had campaign money scandals. Yikes
I wonder if they understand the difference between a dirigible and a blimp? I don't think they do.
2:24 ONE of the worst returns coming home from a trip? What else happened and how is he taking trips on a magicians budget?
That first story wtf was that
I was 6 😂
Too many ads
0:23 It was up for about two minutes and then it cræshed
I lol'd
the news used to be amazing
13:52. Hospital Strike!
Babe yeah🥰
Newswatch theme
N.j.J. Loves destroying mayden voyage blimps!
This was the real news not this BS TODAY
1994
9:04 Laughable political predictions.
LMAO!
Why we’re they late
This was following Game 2 of the National League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia that started I believe at 3:05 PM ET. The Astros won that game 7-4 in 10 innings in a game that ran three hours and 34 minutes (ABC had the League Championship Series that year while NBC has the World Series).
Back when news was real news and not propaganda
7:11 Ted Kennedy “The Supreme Court must not become a political pawn of the New Right”
12:21 The Rats!
