ahhhh yezzz i rememba dis cbs special movie presentation theme music when i was a child sittn down on the floor in front of tv waitin for tha movie to come on it kept u all geared up for tha movie wish they'd bring it back....greattttt memories!!
Wow, they never show Network on TV. Never. And these bumpers "A Special Movie Presentation" were back when watching a theatrical movie on TV was kind of a big event, something you really planned for and really looked forward to. It really was something special. But now it's just routine. Thanks for uploading.
...My GOD!!!!!! I love this stuff. Been so long since all of us have seen it,yet somehow,most of us remember alot of the sequencing and notes of the song before they even play. am I right? =-)
Why would CBS air a movie so critical of television? Is it any wonder that NBC's share in the late 70's, the worst of the Big Three, is higher than last week's highest rated show?
@93sundance I think you're referring to the "splicing block", a sort of mini-guillotine where the film could be cut, rearranged (parts removed or re-ordered), and then literally glued back together again... all the things that can now be accomplished digitally with a few points and clicks, and no mess. There is a real romance to all that technology, however, and as long as theatres continue to project images burned on celluloid ribbons, the editors will keep the splicing block in their arsenal.
I was very young when these bumpers came out. I remember my mom taking my dad to work and we will all piled in the car and go to sleep and then we will come back and watch the bumpers before we go to bed. It's a riot.

That's so hilarious the way they describe "Network" like it's a 1940s film noir.

I wish CBS bought the movies back. I love the background music, and the old 'splice' the film.
