WTVN (WSYX) Ch. 6 Columbus OH - short news bit from 1977

D2R2 was always my favorite Star Wars character.

Oh, Earl...(shakes head)

Earl Green had a bit part in an episode of the TV show "The Big Valley", back in the mid 60's

if you go to photohio(dot)org and search on Earl Green, you will see that he was a Channel 6 movie host in the 1950's.

@columbusmediatalk I just uploaded the clip from The Big Valley with Earl Green in it!

Terre Blair!

So cool...I met Terre Blair at a Funway Freeway gameroom in the late 70's and she was very personable! I sure miss the local news teams of the past

weird that they would advertise Cedar Point, because Kings Island, also once owned by Taft, is now a sister park

"D2 R2"? Earl wasn't exactly hip to pop culture, was he?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

His whole description of Star Wars is so clueless, it's obvious he doesn't know a thing about it.

Maybe this is from when the movie was just being released, or was about to be. Because by the end of 1977 even guys who look like Earl knew all about Star Wars because they had seen it multiple times.
