As a NY'er I remember these all. It was such a happier time that I feel tears in my eyes. We don't realize how complicated and rushed we've made life today. It was about being with family back then and everyone was in the same boat. Much much simpler times. Now we have everything and nothing at the same time.
Well said man. As a fellow NYer I agree! Nostalgia and great memories from a time long past. Now the song “We May Never Pass This Way Again” makes more sense now than it did when I was a kid.
@@ronaldh8446 Thanks. I remember asking my mother on Friday "who's house are we going to this weekend?" My favorite thing was sitting at the table and listening to all the stories my Aunts and Uncle's would tell. Then playing with my cousins. No smartphones, just a very warm time with people you love. All these older people worked hard, but they seemed so content and lighthearted. I feel like I'm on another planet when I visit with people these days. I don't enjoy it. The soul of society is gone.
It was special. I feel bad looking back because I knew those times were fun and I took it for granted then that certain things wouldn't change because they seemed so perfect an experience. Looking through a TV Guide to find out a show or movie was gonna be airing and making sure I got home to see it... looking for a movie in the newspaper timetables to see where a film was playing (can't make the showing in time, let's head over to that neighborhood theater instead). Why would any of that fade away. It was blissfully naive. History has always showed us everything changes or fades eventually. Nothing lasts and that's such a shame. Thankful for the beautiful memories.
@@ronaldh8446 I could've wrote the same myself. I look back at photographs from the 1970's and everyone had, like you said, "a blissfully naivety" about them. You can see the contentment in their eyes. They say that medical is so much better. Yeah, but are we any happier or less fearful? They say we're more politically correct and accepting of each other. Well, people may not speak openly about it, but the exact same prejudices and hate for anyone out of the "norm" is as strong as ever. We are not advancing. We're declining.
I agree. This one's kind of cool and unique. But I found the Boston CBS intros for the Late Show (movie) on TH-cam and they had used the same ones in Chicago.
I remember back in the '80s when I was a teenager my late father would come home from work at 4:00 and sit down and watch the 4:00 movie on channel 9. I miss those days.
Miss these days. When life was much simpler and we valued TV content. Long for these days again. Thankful to those who help keep the memory of these awesome moments for all to see...
Glad you enjoyed it. (W)WOR was 'tha bomb' back in the day. The Four 'o Clock Movie (loved it when they showed Fantastic Voyage (66) Perfect "just home from school" flick) Million Dollar Movie, Movie 9, Spaced Out Flms, Fright Night, 9 All Night, Holiday Movie Special (Thu - Kong / Fri - Zilla) Seems like yesterday. Now more than 40 years ago. "Ain't it'Funny How Time Just Slips Away..."
I was just a child, maybe three or four and living in the Bronx. I remember when the million dollar movie theme came on that meant it was time for bed. Just listening to it brings tears to my eyes as I reminisce those about days. ❤
And now years later this is my jam. Funny because it was kinda corny to me back then. But now it’s full of memories and nostalgia. Sigh where did the time go lol. NY proud.
I'm 61 years old born in 1961 i watched the movies on all the networks and then went out to play with friends now there is nothing on but useless boring infomercials.
Networks like THIS TV, MOVIE! & DECADES etc... should use this song whenever they do an introduction of a film. Songs like this is too good to be forgotten 👍👍
You Toober For those who were blessed to be living in New York in the late 1970’s and early 80’s or have WOR TV on your cable lineup, you know that when you hear this song, it’s 4 O’CLOCK IN NYC. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great memories. Met’s during the lean years in the 70’s getting crushed by the whole NL and top off with this WOR Channel 9 program after Kiner’s Korner. Thanks for posting.
this is a fantastic walk down memory lane....ahhh the 1970s and early 80 were a more innocent time. I loved this as a kid! Thank you for posting this gem!
Happier times. This was during my courting days with my girlfriend now wife of 40 years. We’d watch movies on channels like this in the 80’s every weekend. Still do.
The 4:30 Movie Intro channel 7, Planet Of the Apes week, we got the first four ape movies, but on the fifth day it was The Omega Man. I miss those days running home from school just to watch it. The channel 5 Drive In Movie Theater with all the Shaw Brothers Kung Fu Flicks. Channel 11 WPIX Sunday Afternoon Movie, I would never miss the Abbott And Costello movies. Fright Night Theater channel 9, I was in there for some Night Of The Living Dead. Chiller Theater Channel 11 WPIX I was in there for some of that gore as well. Thank you for posting, it brings back so many memories.
Night of the Living Dead never played on WOR channel 9 Fright Night . ABC channel 7 showed it , late night on Saturdays starting in 1977 thru about 1982 or so.
I just subscribed. I only whish someone could find MORE WNEW Channel 5 bumpers, spots and ...CREATURE FEATURES intro. I'd LOVE to see the "It's 10PM; do you know where your children are?" spot and the graphic on the screen was a shadowy street scene in some city. But yeah, Chiller Theatre turned up but no Creature Features .
The best ones were the Sunday Morning Movie, Holiday Movie Special, Drive In Movie and the 4:30 Movie.. Essential in NYC TV History. They just brought back The CBS Sunday Night Movie.
Yeah, watched Raiders of the Lost Ark (beautiful print) couple of weeks ago. Had the sound down, but noticed that they were using the classic late-70s / early 80s logo. Ran into the next room, told a friend of mine: "Hey man they're using the classic logo!" www.dvddrive-in.com/holidayfilmfest.htm

As a jersey boy growing up in the 70s and 80s this is true nostalgia
And Chiller Theatre !
@@joesimon2029 of course
Yes indeed!
As a non new yorker (Chicagoan) this is nice looking at your city tv movie history
I agree. This one's kind of cool and unique.
But I found the Boston CBS intros for the Late Show (movie) on TH-cam and they had used the same ones in Chicago.
I remember back in the '80s when I was a teenager my late father would come home from work at 4:00 and sit down and watch the 4:00 movie on channel 9. I miss those days.
Back when watching television was fun.
Kind strange how all this just faded away. Thanks for posting it.
This was such a time!!!! Brings back many many memories!!!!
Reminds me of my time growing up in New York!
This reminds me back in the 70's when I was a teenager as soon as this Them came on you know the choirs was not getting done.
Me being a nostalgic person, this brings back so many many memories
Outstanding montage from the Metropolitan 70's!
Miss these days.
When life was much simpler and we valued TV content.
Long for these days again. Thankful to those who help keep the memory of these awesome moments for all to see...

"Ain't it'Funny How Time Just Slips Away..."
I always found channel 9s movie intros to be more visually creative, but 11s text graphics were pretty awesome
The four o'clock movie on channel 9 in New York aired great movies that was during the week before the local news miss the good old days of television
Great compilation! Wish I could go back to SOME things about that era in my life.
What an era! Life was simpler then.

I missed this Them back in the 70's I was in my teens.
What great memories! Thanks for posting this!! I grew up in New Jersey in the 60s and 70s. Loved the 4:30 movie!!
Free movies what a concept ...
BRAVO 👏 Brings back great memories of the 70s.
These are giving me flashbacks
Happier times. This was during my courting days with my girlfriend now wife of 40 years. We’d watch movies on channels like this in the 80’s every weekend. Still do.
Probably the BEST video on TH-cam!!!

Thanks for the HD nostalgia.
This music was in Oceans Thirteen.
Classic metropolitan memories! Thank you so much for your hard work putting this together. It really means a lot
Great movies to watch in great times!
The late great groovy movie time machine - TH-cam!😉
I remember all the intros

Night of the Living Dead never played on WOR channel 9 Fright Night . ABC channel 7 showed it , late night on Saturdays starting in 1977 thru about 1982 or so.
@@joesimon2029 it was a typo I meant to say Tomb Of The Living Dead.
a time when you didnt dwell on what bad shit might or WOULD likely happen tomorrow...the controllers didnt have full control of your mind back then!
Herb Alpert
that's cool music!
Psycho aired on WOR-TV Four O'Clock Movie all those years ago
NEIL RICHARDSON - THE RIVIERA AFFAIR (ORIGINAL)
Sunday Afternoon Movie meant some good Abbot and Costello movies were coming on.😊
I just subscribed. I only whish someone could find MORE WNEW Channel 5 bumpers, spots and ...CREATURE FEATURES intro. I'd LOVE to see the "It's 10PM; do you know where your children are?" spot and the graphic on the screen was a shadowy street scene in some city. But yeah, Chiller Theatre turned up but no Creature Features .
I can still recall the channeleds times
The best ones were the Sunday Morning Movie, Holiday Movie Special, Drive In Movie and the 4:30 Movie.. Essential in NYC TV History. They just brought back The CBS Sunday Night Movie.
Yeah, watched Raiders of the Lost Ark (beautiful print) couple of weeks ago.
Had the sound down, but noticed that they were using the classic late-70s / early 80s logo.
Ran into the next room, told a friend of mine: "Hey man they're using the
classic logo!"

And then Joe Franklin to finish it off.
So beautiful...
