- ALL NEW! Things were going along well for kids that night during an airing of Walt Disney, until a jarring CBS Special Report Bulletin... First up before the alert are plugs for Pizza Hut, Mercury Lynx, Bayer, and Roto Rooter and a promo for the CBS Wednesday Night Movie.

When you saw that "Special Report" screen pop up, a chill always ran down your spine.
+scdevon That was when "Special Report" & "Breaking News" meant something serious. You stopped what you were doing and paid attention. In today's cable 24 hour era, "Alerts", and "Breaking Now" don't have the same urgency.
+scdevon Follow that up with "This is CBS" and you've completed the deal.
OH yes!!!! Every time there was a 'special report' I figured "This is it...they pushed the button!"
+999manman I always thought the same thing.
scared the shit outta me LOL
Linda Evans was a beauty!! Who’s old enough to remember her as Audra in “The Big Valley”?
I even remember that Lee Majors played the roll of her brother Heath on the Big Valley he was also 6 million dollar man
@@davidterry919 The Big Valley was awesome, but I'd be lying if I said I watched it for any other reason than to see Linda Evans.
Hey, I can go back farther than Big Valley.
She had a part (10.13.1960) on the TV series Bachelor Father a daughter of one of Bentley's clients who had a school girl crush on him.
Oh by the way, she was a brunette at the time.
@@spiff8862 Yes, and John Forsythe played the father and that was well before Linda Evans and he were on "Dynasty" from 1981 to 1989 and the reunion movie in 1991 and the reunion special in 2006.
35 years later, and that pizza still looks good!
Diversity casting even in 1982! 🎭
The AHH sound in the end kind of Reminds me of a production
I know. I'd still eat a piece of it
40 years later & 3 months ago the Pizza Hutt Pizza looks good!
Two foods I’ve always wanted to try: cartoon food and food from 40+ year old commercials.
Man, those Pizza Hut pizzas could not be beat back then. Someone left a comment on another video saying they worked for them back then. Everything was made fresh, made their own dough too was my understanding. To those young people reading this, you have no idea how good that pizza was. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant was cool too. The lighting, the brick walls, red/white checkered tablecloths, red plastic glasses and the sit-down Pac Man arcade game, an unreal experience.
ALL of what you said. Simply could not be beat. Was the best pizza/experience ever, the time went just flew by, had no idea we were in the middle of some of the best times of our lives #80sKid
Let's not forget a jukebox loaded with the latest Pop/Rock hits...! =;)
@@pancudowny Oh yeah! One after another
@Metal Fan no doubt. Became a chain pizza. Not the original pan pizza super supreme I remember. A 30 yr old CEO sold out for the $$. Wrecked it.
I remember that Pac-Man glass table!!
1982: The future looks bright.
2022: The hell with this. I want to go back to forty years ago.
The only way that happens is if we dissolve the welfare state, teachers unions, and the Democrat party. Here's to hoping.
Love those words.
Man that’s true
2022 is the new 1982
1989
Notice the calm and professional manner in which an actual news story is reported.
Exactly. And it was just a voice-over delivering facts with only the special report slide on the screen. No flashy graphics, no orchestrated music, and if you saw this, everyone in the household stopped what they were doing to go into the family room to watch and listen.
Indeed. Also note how there's none of that divisive "the left did this" or "the right did this" finger-pointing that we are now constantly subjected to by the likes of Fox News, CNN and other partisan media outlets.
@@4862cjc Exactly. I don't watch the MSM these days. Can't trust any of them.
People don’t watch the news anymore for information, they watch it to ratify their beliefs.
That's before emotional incontinence became a thing.
Maybe it's just me, probably is. But I swear when I see "BREAKING NEWS" today it doesn't usually alarm me. It seems everything is "BREAKING NEWS " anymore. Back then when you had this "SPECIAL REPORT" it truly got my attention. The big letters covering the screen and only hearing the reporter speak. it just seems EVERYTHING is so insanely sensationalized anymore. I miss the days when networks were more serious about the news and being the first to get it out right. Now it's more about ratings, sensationalism and how sexy is this story.
+Bret Bailey You got that right! Real news reporting then too not so tabloid.
+Bret Bailey It isn't just you! I also think that we've come to rely on the media to tell us whether or not a news story is "important." I was watching whatever one day in the 90s when suddenly the station cut to a shot, sideways and wobbly, of people running around, crying and yelling in front of a building; no narration or "crawl" re what was going on. The program resumed after a minute or so of this, so I figured Oh well, it wasn't anything *really* bad. A few minutes later there was a (coherent) breaking news report on what I'd previously seen - the immediate aftermath of the Oklahoma City Bombing.
April 19, 1995
This is an old thread, but it is so dang right-on….it is sCarRy! Every single evening, “BREAKING NEWS AS WE COME ON THE AIR!!”….only to find out that the bubblegum machine in the downtown drugstore is empty prematurely. Maybe they can occasionally whip up a semi-valid story such as: “President Trump farted this morning. As a result, three secret service agents are now in critical condition!” “Pelosi will address congress later today to complain.”
I did news and had a general manager who thought there should be at least one bulletin a day. We hated the idea for the same reasons you list.
Pizza Hut back when you could sit and eat there. That takes me (way) back.
There's a pizza hut by me that you can still go into and eat. It's like stepping into a time machine since it hasn't been remodeled for as long as I've been going there..(my first visit I was 5 and now I'm 34. ) It even has a section near the back with arcade games. It's such a trip! Sometimes I just go because I'm feeling nostalgic lol.
I can still remember the smell of the restaurant
It was great pizza then. Now crap. All delivery pizza is.
In England you can dine in
And the pizza is much much better
They used to own another pizza co. named Straw Hat . Brings back memories.
Back when the Pizza was good! Not this garbage they try to sell you now.
For the record, the reporter reading the news bulletin was CBS correspondent Marlene Sanders, an ABC and CBS veteran who, by 1982, was working mostly in radio. She died in 2015 at the age of 84. Her son, Jeffrey Toobin, is a legal analyst for CNN.
Jerkin' Jeffrey....
Wow this is cool, and I now know who Jeffery Toobin is because of his nasty incident.
I'm gonna guess that mom didn't teach him about that one.
You mean tuggin toobin?
@@didsomebodysaydmt8193 You could say Lubin’ Toobin has a firm grasp on things.
This was from a Saturday evening, January 23, 1982. The plane landed in Boston at 7:36 PM, but couldn’t stop by the end of the runway due to ice and braking, so they steered it off into a field and into the edge of Boston Harbor. The plane actually broke in two. Most people survived, but two people disappeared into the water and were presumed dead.
Actually they lived underwater in a cave, ate fish and seaweed to survive, and emerged in early 2003.
@@kewkabe "That's Incredible!"
Get it? 1982.... Huh, Huh???
Kathy Lee Crosby?.... Huh???....
I was on the road then and seen that plane there.
Ironically,when I saw January,1982,my first thought was of the Air Florida Flight 90 crash in Washington DC. I usually follow channels that talk about air disasters,but had never heard of this particular accident
I miss being a kid in the 80's so bad. Someone please invent a time machine so we can relive the best time of our lives!
I know, why are they so special? I'd love to do it again.
I'm working on it.
Johnny F It was the last of the good old simple days.
it WAS so awsum! especially on saturday mornings with cartoons. Super friends, fang face, hong kong fooey, smurfs, booberry crunch, cookie crisp, fruit roll ups, Underoos and Rolos. :)
Johnny F
because we were segue from analog/disco/am clock radio to synthy/big perm/curly kit/tonka truck/leg warmin/kraftwerk radio shack trs-80 floppy disk. :)
I remember going to pizza hut in 82 I was 9 yrs old that year. Then if you read ten books in a certain amount of time you got a free pan size pizza.
Back when special reports ACTUALLY WERE a big deal. Nowadays, they are WAY too over-exaggerated.
I was 4 or 5 in 1982~whenever a Special Report would come on the TV I would put my fingers in my ears and run from the room lol
Same here! It was the sound of bad news
That's what I did as a kid in the late 60s/ early 70s when that scary Emergency Broadcast System tone came on the TV.
Same here.
I was the same way. I'd run and sit in a chair with my feet off the floor. I would in many ways get terrified by Special Reports on TV
It was terrifying because you wondered if they were going to say "Russian ICBM's have been launched..." and that would be the end of everything.
Now that’s the Pizza Hut I remember how good that looks!
I'd love to go back to the 80's. Every night was Friday!
I remember eating at Pizza Hut, they used to have record jukeboxes you can listen to while you eat. those were the good ole days.
The Pizza Hut pizzas seem to have tasted a lot better back then than they do today.
yootuba, MSG and coconut oil were really tasty & really, really bad for you🤒
I go to one of them, hand them the coupon, it tastes great.
I go again, pay full price, just tastes different, somehow.
Much thicker too back in the years passed.
I didn't realize it until you said it but yeah
Pizza Hut workers were less angry back then.
So, there was less spit on your pizza as compared to today.
I grew up in the 50s and 60s. The words "We interrupt this broadcast for a special news bulletin!" would stop us cold. You would hold your breath as "IT" was being reported. By, why wouldn't we be edgy? JFK's assassination in 63, 65, Malcolm X assassination, then from January of 67, the Apollo I fire that killed three astronauts, Spring of 68, MLK's assassination, a few weeks later RFKs assassination, summer of 68, riots at the Chicago Convention. But, back then when you heard such stuff, you believed it. You actually trusted the news.
"...You actually trusted the news." And *some of it* was actually real!
You hit the nail on the head and I agree wholeheartedly. What with Star Wars, CGI, and Sandy Hook there's no telling truth from fiction anymore.
Richard, you and I must be close in age. Yes, those bulletin announcements, especially those on CBS, just made your blood run cold as ice. The afternoon and evening of the JFK assassination and the same with Oswad being shot, on LIVE TV, made the bulletins fly like arrows at an archery range. You froze for a second and then made your way to the TV as fast as you could without colliding with others in the household. Once all made it to the front room, we all held our collective breath for the shocking news.✌
I love how they waited until all of their commercials had aired before breaking in with the Special Report.... can't let important news disrupt all that ad revenue!
Well, even CBS has bills to pay.
If it would have been in daytime they would have broken in
Usually, if a flash comes in during a commercial break, the commercial break is run to conclusion, unless it's an extremely major story (i.e. a terrorist attack, a fatality on a space flight, a declaration of war, etc.) where the news should be broadcast at once and not at the end of the break, in which case a commercial would be interrupted.
MoonerFury unlike trump interrupting the few seconds of once upon a time Im still pissed about that
kossur10...Yay! The obligatory Trump comment. That hardly took any time at all!
What an amazing job they did fitting that in during the commercial break! They didn't even cut any of the commercials off.
The exception is the Kennedy assassination. A Sanka commercial was interrupted. The previous report interrupted a Soap, but the commercial immediately followed and was interrupted
There was no need to cut anything off, so it wasn't done. But, as news became more hype, that changed. Now stuff is cut off to report a hang nail on some celebrity. But then, the stuff getting cut off usually isn't worth watching, so no biggie.
Now if Pizza Hut had a full blown video arcade inside with a bunch of arcade games mostly from the 1970s and 1980s, I would be truly be happy.
They used to
Any pizza place had arcade games, why think 80s kids love pizza?
Lol
The Pizza Hut that used to be around the corner from my house had a Neo Geo machine.
Hell, you can't even find a Pizza Hut with a dining room today!
now that's how you do a special report. Today, it would pre-empt about an hour of the movie for analysis, video and interviews.
Back in the day when Pizza Hut restaurants smelled like pizza and cigarette smoke.
Yup, they used to be just one big square room with nothing between the smokers and non-smokers but an imaginary line and I guess the salad bar... So for my family it used to almost be a game, see how long we can sit in there and eat before someone's smoke crossed over to our side and we had to take the rest of our food home.
People were having fun, enjoying their time out, no one was thinking about the smoke as they would today. Today there are smoke free places as the norm, yet no one is having fun, at least not like before.
Another good year 1982!
I was riding in a van from Cincinnati to past Detroit on this night. It was the eve of Super Bowl XVI. My Cincinnati Bengals vs San Francisco 49ers. We stayed overnight in a one room motel in Oakland Michigan. All 6 of us that night. Partied all night. Got up and went to the Bengals first Super Bowl appearance. I don't even remember this news report. Big world.
Bengals lost 26-21 to the 49ers!
Remember seeing the special report come on... feeling the horror knowing that tragedy had struck
I remember feeling the same way
Wow!!! My mom had an 1981 Lynx in the 80's into the 90's. What a CAR!!! I was born in the late 80's so I grew up in the 90's.
Boy did Pizza Hut look different back then. It look like real Italian restaurant.
My youngest brother's 1st car a mint gold 1987 Mercury Lynx GS. He had a kicker with 1000 watt amp, that shook the pavement. Lol
85 I had was a piece of s***
@@hankkingsley9300 Yeah my mom ‘s Lynx was a piece of crap car. She only got it because she didn’t want to take the bus anymore. My dad got her a Firebird afterwards. Talk about an upgrade! Lol
I remember that accident! Growing up in Boston, we heard the initial reports that there were no fatalities, but it turned out a father and his adult son had slipped into the water and were never found. Leo and Walter Metcalfe.
Spot on Sheila. I worked for World Airways in the 90s. NTSB found fault with airport authority in not giving flight crew correct weather conditions….poor breaking action on landing runway.
@@chriskibbe2901 Weird the things that stick in your head.
I remember when they made for TV movie about the plane crash. Very chilling.
I got my EMT training at Bunker Hill, and a lot of BEMS vets taught my class. They told me about this one.
I lived in New England all my life. This is the first I've heard of it
January 1982. Orlando, Florida. I fell in love with pan pizza
I remember that Roto Rooter commercial.
In the 80’s when Pizza Hut was excellent pizza. In ‘97 when it became part of Yum, along with Taco Bell & KFC, the quality nosedived.
when 'special report' didn't mean a report on Kardashian's latest baby's name
Wow what the memories with the commercials!
There was TV Movies then, no reality shows.
Yes, on Sundays and Tuesdays.
Sometimes the Sunday night movie concluded on Tuesdays. NBC had Tuesday Night at the movies.
I miss those days how I Hate reality shows
IKR? Movies were on every night of the week. The Sunday movie would sometimes conclude on Tuesday nights.
reality shows existed.
The 80s were so great. Everything was simple, you could say what you wanted, nobody blew up on anyone or tried to start a fight.
Blame smart phones & social media for that.
We didn’t have such things in the ‘80’s.
We met people and socialized in person back then.
This was the Cold War. We were too busy being afraid of nuclear annihilation to be offended. Special Reports and sirens were terrifying in the 80's.. In some ways things are actually better now, or at least the threat is less.
The 80 s were great. Thank you Ronald Reagan.
nah, it sucked, sure, say what you want, but don't be surprised when you lose everything because of it.
@TheJanka51 Ya! There were separate water fountains and everything. The 50s and 60s were the best .
The special reports mostly break in the middle of a movie or TV show, but never break in the middle of a commercial. The networks took no risks with their sponsors.
At least the Special Report was fast so we could get back to watching what we wanted to watch.
Loved the Pizza Hut advert back then.
I was 17 in 1982. These old commercials make me feel ancient.
You know, I was just mentioning to a friend that Pizza Hut had changed drastically from years ago... I can still distinctly taste the difference in the Pizzas that are delivered and the ones you get in the sit-down restaurant (Which seem to be disappearing for the most part... at least that's the case in SoFla)...
WREYtube Yeah, when I was a kid, going there was a treat, and getting a dime for the jukebox so it could play Boson, Journey, Styx, etc. I can still smell the pizza and cavatini with garlic bread.
I agree, the taste has changed. My husband still like it, so we have it once in awhile. It's kind of blah, for me.
Pizza Hut used to be a treat back then. But it's been different for decades, and not in a good way. It is mediocre to poor, at best nowadays.
Pizza Hut overseas is a totally different experience. You can actually order octopus in Shanghai.
@@tperk
.
Uh.....isn't that kind of a long way to go for pizza (and do you think Shanghai Pizza Hut would deliver here?) ?? ;-)
.
I wish Pizza Hut's pizza was that good. I worked for them back in 2005 making fresh dough and pizzas, and answering phones.
JMMT7022801 I liked Pizza hut better before they eliminated Thick'n Chewy pizza in favor of Pan Pizza. Sadly, PH went to frozen dough about the time you quit.
I like how most of the comments are about Pizza Hut..
Thanx for the original ads! My brother worked at Pizza hut 1986 til 1991. I worked there 1990 til 1994 good times.
Good stuff, huh? :)
How much weight did u gain while working there !
And the ad for a Mercury Lynx. It had its run in the 80's, then died a quick death.
paskuniag The Ford Escort came along in 1982 and the Lynx was soon history
+paskuniag ........ It was a total piece of shit...👊😘
This was also around the same time that an Air Florida Boeing 737 crashed into the icy Potomac River will never forget that so scary!
kinda funny years back when a commercial came on,we would either go take a dump or get something to eat or see what else was on tv.but every once in awhile you would stick around for the commercials.now we sit there watching the commercials.
At first, I thought that this was going to be about the airliner that landed in the Potomac River in Wasington, D.C.; after its tail section struck a bridge, and cars that were on the bridge. I believe that crash happened during the same month.
Yep me too
Vividly remember that account as a 12-year old. River filled with chunks of ice & a civilian dove in to save a stewardess if memory serves me correctly! The nostalgia from the commercials make me long for the simpler days.
*Anyone else born in the glorious year of 1982? I'm glad...really glad I was!*
I have a daughter born in 81 and son in 83.
Ah, the '70's when the only drugs advertised were Bayer Aspirin, Doan's Pills, Bufferin, Ex-Lax, Alka-Seltzer and Hayley's M.O.
So true!
The Pizza Hut commercial was worth the watch. I miss the Pizza Hut of my childhood
I truly miss the days of my childhood. The 70's and 80's were the best. Everything was so much better then. Men were men, women were women, and breaking news was actually news. Now a news story told at 4pm is somehow still breaking news at 11pm. How is that breaking news? That's not possible! Often times I feel as though I'm living in a damn twilight zone!
I miss the days when over half the population was bullied and coerced into semi-subservience and kids could be beaten and raped with impunity and blamed for it. I miss the days when everything stunk with tobacco smoke. I miss the days when only educated white men mattered.
Oh, wow. Do you remember the Vietnam war, campus riots, Kent State, race riots, the Cold War, the threat of nuclear war 24/7? Air raid sirens? If you think those days were "best", you weren't listening to the news. The world tensions were different then today, but they were terrifying.
I agree 100%!! Those were the days. Kids of today have NO IDEA.
Holy cow! I was living in Quincy MA at the time, and I would have SWORN this only happened 15 or 20 years ago! Crickey, I was just starting college! My my how time does fly....
I lived in Quincy at the time as well (near Marina Bay). Yup. Time flies indeed..
+rockweedgirl We were living in Walpole when Kennedy was assassinated. You guys can probably imagine the impact this event had on a Massachusetts town back when Kennedys were US royalty.
Man, that Bayer aspirin was flying off the shelf!!
I think that was Pam Dawber from "Mork & Mindy" in the Pizza Hut commercial!
I remember this. It was shortly before I joined the Army. Shortly after I joined the Army I was sent to Fort Devens. Logan Airport was the only way to get back to Dallas!
Yes, that pizza looks damn good!
Man that Walt Disney commercial music oh man and remember Friday night movies a simpler time that I miss.
When I was watching CBS at the time, seeing CBS was like an Orlando thrill ride: part scary, but all fun. Sometimes, getting scared seeing the CBS ID picture, along with other images on TV, was tantamount to feeling the depths of one's stomach when a roller coaster drops. Even with the times I had to think during news time, I had fun watching CBS as a child. I just wish I had done the same as a little girl; because admittedly, my favorite parts of watching CBS were the pics that made me want to scream like a little girl!!👧👯
I feel that way about when stations signed off at night, I was so scared back then but I'd love to be able to see the same sign-offs again today.
Two and one half minutes of commercial for the half minute special report. The video should be titled, "CBS commercials."
I learned to scroll ahead on these videos anymore. So much clickbait out there these days, as you get older you learn these things. Another way to tell if its gonna be clickbait or not, is to scroll down & scan the comments. Usually someone will post the word clickbait so that should help.
@Flame Resistant Troll not really useless if it persists to the subject.
Tv was fun back then God I miss the early days.thanks for posting
Graduated HS in 82. Quite nostalgic
This WAS the time to eat a Pan Pizza at Pizza Hut they were good then. How far they have fallen. You can blindfold yourself and pick a frozen pie at random at your grocer and do better.
*Ahhh yes! . . . the 80s and the 90s...when women ACTUALLY "needed" men.*
This should have been titled "Commercials interrupted by news report".
Wow they still used That special report graphic from the 70s in 1982.
They finally changed to a different one in 1983.
Moonerfury, they didn't "wait" to show the commercials before breaking in - the uploader just rolled tape a few minutes before the report. Also this was the Logan accident, not he Washington crash which happened 10 days earlier, and was far more serious.
Those Pizza Hut pan pizzas were really good.
The plumber for Roto Rooter: “So the next time you have a problem, remember this!” (screws finger into the air!”)
Pizza 40 years ago was truly a great thing. I remember a food court pizza chain, Pietro's that was at Hulen and Ridgmar Malls in Fort Worth, Texas. You could get it by the slice (or the whole pie). It was so good! Domino's was much better then also.
Can we all just appreciate the Pizza Hut commercials
I really want some Pizza Hut!
The Mercury Lynx was just a re-badged twin to the Ford Escort which in its early years had a lot of problems.
looks like a cloned version of a Mazda
True, the early 1981-83 Escorts were rubbish, 1984 got better, but the 1985-90 versions were reliable little cars.
Further back than this "Special Report" there use to News Bulletin. One of the oldest I remember was the sinking of the submarine, the Thresher, about 1963.
Well... there's 3 min I'll never get back.
I’m from Boston and remember when this happened …..I was outside using a snowblower when my sister came outside to tell me what had happened……we had a snowstorm but was mostly ice at Logan
"We interrupt these commercials for a special report" Today, in the name of the almighty advertising dollar they'd wait until the show comes back on.
Back when Pizza Hut was good!
Janelle Y. Pizza Hut was *never* good.
@@10.11.9 sorry you're wrong
@@10.11.9 Pizza Hut 🍕 was the bomb, nothing even came close.
A few days after this happened I took the written exam to enter the Navy as an officer candidate/pilot. The test was given at the old shipyard in South Boston. There were about twelve of us candidates in the classroom and right out the window across the channel was the DC-10 still sitting there, off the runway, it's nose broken off and partially in Boston Harbor. Kind of ironic.
Wow it looks like real pizza. Sad how many things have gone to hell in a hand basket
Brad Crandall voicing the "Tom Horn" promo.
i remember watching that movie it was pretty good
Special Report! You knew something was about to go down!
The actual report is at about 2:35 but the commercials are well worth the wait.
Compared to today's Pizza Hut, give me the good old days.
This same bumper was used when they broke in during the CBS late movie (The Rockford Files) to announce John Wayne's death in 1979 also.
Not to nitpick, but in the interest of accuracy, I thought graphics (visual) were called "slides" while "bumpers" referred to *audio*.
I also recall John Wayne's death as part of a Special Report past the 10 p.m. news. A vague recollection of my dad watching a "Bonanza" rerun on our ABC affiliate when ABC News broke in. Channel 13 Houston, TX
gaymerguy69 Yes--we were living in Missouri at the time and I remember them cutting into the Rockford show somewhere between 11:00 and 11:30 p.m. Central time.
John Wayne died in 1977....
Back when Pizza Hut had the market cornered. Now can't find one anywhere.
So many things were better back then good old days
I remember eating pan pizza and they had beer too, at a sit down Pizza Hut!!
I don't know if planes are safer now, or we are all just oblivious, but it seems like there were alot of plane crashes when I was little in the 70s. I remember so many of them.
Notice, most if not all of the commercials made it on the air for the viewing customers to see. Then, the territying "special bulletin" was stated. Then, after the scary bulletin, "We will now join our regular scheduled program in progress". That always sucked and you prayed nothing good happened that you'll NEVER see. That is unless you were fortunate enough to catch it as a rerun or much later when it came out on dvd or later still on YT.
ah it wasn't too long! And that Roto Rooter jingle, I didn't know it was around then!
This is back when you could order a pizza and sit down and eat at a Pizza Hut. You can't do that anymore.
The lady that is saying "This is a special report from CBS news", sounds just like the lady that does the voice for HBO autopsy....her voice always scared me.
That's her... there was a more recent reply identifying her
That's when Pizza Hut was good!
Back when they actually reported the news without any of their own comments or political slant.
Thanks to the Fairness Doctrine.
No you just didn't realize it at the time
I grew up the 80's. I don't remember ever having seen a Lynx.
Same car as a Ford Escort.
The voice of the special report was Marlene Sanders. She voiced the HBO shows Autopsy and the Iceman documentaries about serial killer and mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski.
Wow way before the days when all you have to do is look at your phone and instantaneously know everything up to the minute in real time...
I remember this it was a cold ice rainy night.
It’s now 2022… 4 decades ago.
How ironic that this came into my algorithm when I’m staying at the Embassy Suites near Boston Logan international LMAO
They used two types, the one you mention when the network broke in and showed the anchor and the video of the story. This one was mainly used for audio reports. Some stations in the US were still using film and long range video didn't take hold fully until '85
I remember being so upset in 85 when my cartoons were interrupted by the TWA 847 hijacking.
