Late 1970s ABC "Friday Night Movie" Introduction and Closing

[jimspy1001]

Reminds me of my "dream job", what I would always answer when people asked me what I wanted to do with my life: I wanted to be a network booth announcer. I could not (and still cannot) think of a job with a higher ratio of dollars-to-actual-workload. I had the pipes for it, I did it at our college TV station...Don't know why I didn't follow through. "Theee ABC Friday Niiight MOvieeeee..." Yup, I can do that. Too bad, they don't use 'em any more.

I don't understand... I turned on my television set last Friday and there was no movie on ABC. Some sort of reality program and news show. What happened?

@Dimension150 Probably that fact that what people like to look at on television has changed dramatically from then to now: just my guess.

@Dimension150 Generation Suck has destroyed pop culture! That's what. No wonder why I live in the past!

It all brings me back to those days in an unexpected way. But that outro (last 10 sec) was just fantastic with the orchestral crescendo!

Even as a kid, I thought that theme was great....reminds me of watching the various James Bond movies that they'd show on Sunday nights.

@stogieguy7 Amen :D
