This reeks with the 80's, and that's awesome.

ET is the one and only movie I cry @ the end.

[A1sausie]

WOW! That's a young but always gay, Jack Williams!

[Dalen77]

How old is Jack Williams, I remember him doing the news when I was a little kid, and hes still doing it now, I think hes gut the best news caster voice and could have gone national instead of just local.

I saw that they are taking another look at one of the suspects.

I was just starting Kindergarten at the Grew School in Hyde Park in late September of 1982. I remember poisoned tylenol being in the news quite a bit as a kid for some reason, around the same time razor blades in hot dogs and nails in Halloween candy were in the news.

Bob Lobel just got canned in a round of CBS layoffs.  Proof that CBS is nuts.

I wasn't sure what E.T. they're talking about. Is the movie E.T.? or Entertainment Tonight?

[SailorCallie]

That would be the MOVIE E.T., not to be confused with Entertainement Tonight in which the show was into it's 2nd year on the air at the time.

Jack Williams is Ron Burgundy

Just goes to show you how popular "E.T." was. This was October (Tylenol scare, last game at Fenway) E.T. came out in March. I've never heard of a movie staying up for 7 months

[kc86er]

E.T. came out on June 11, 1982; that would make it 4 months.

[copyright1982]

You're right; my mistake. Didn't know why I thought it was March.

[SailorCallie]

11 years later, 'Jurassic Park' came out on that same day. Another Spielburg classic.

[DrGalazkiewicz]

And 11 years after that, "Napoleon Dynamite" came out.

Just throwing something our here... no link to anything!

[roosevelthighschool]

I remember learning about this back in the day but didn't know what in the world happened at that point in time.

WBZ back in the day!!
