I'm trying to fix a date on a snippet of a TV show I recorded(on a tape recorder) from that time.

You're right - CBS was particularly adept...JB,<br /><br />You're right - CBS was particularly adept at this throughout the 60s and 70s, with everything from The McCoys (renamed from the primetime "Real McCoys") to The Beverly Hillbillies to Lucy. ABC did some as well, particularly with their hour-long dramas. NBC, which had a strong daytime schedule, never did that as much.<br /><br />I think the Rose Bowl's problem was that they did it up TOO much - the shield remains the largest midfield logo I've ever seen (I think you can find it on YouTube), and the colonial-era eagles in the endzones, while brilliant, probably would have been better-used the next year. Instead, they had a stenciled '76. Of course, that goes to the art form of football field design, for which I suspect someone has a blog somewhere!<br /><br />BTW, Andy Rooney has a very good piece in this TVG on the Bicentennial Minute and how difficult it was to create them, to boil a historical event down to 40 seconds or so. Done with a typical blend of complaining and humor!<br /><br />MitchellMitchell Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695771505209080030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-71798223220521675512013-07-04T09:42:09.962-04:002013-07-04T09:42:09.962-04:00IIRC, the networks themselves sometimes reran old ...IIRC, the networks themselves sometimes reran old primetime shows in daytime. CBS ran old episodes of "MASH" on weekday afternoons in the 70s, for example. <br /><br />On the subject of the Bicentennial, CBS started its famous "Bicentennial Minutes" series on 7/4/74, so some observances were underway well before the fourth in '75. So maybe the Rose Bowl wasn't jumping the gun at all. jbhttp://jabartlett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-48547254863568755752013-07-02T17:40:58.770-04:002013-07-02T17:40:58.770-04:00"It's New....If You Haven't Seen It B..."It's New....If You Haven't Seen It Before" reminds me of a tagline NBC used a few years ago to promote reruns: "If You Haven't Seen It, It's New To You!".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
