I miss the late 70s/early 80s. This stuff just isn't broadcast anymore. :(

I grew up in Oregon (60's). We had four channels, and a B&W t.v. The fact that late movies were on until as late as 2 a.m. fascinated me. At some point, I heard that elsewhere in America, there were movies ALL NIGHT. That blew me away. If I'm nostalgic about anything (but drive-ins, too, & intermission shorts), its the openings to those late, late shows.

It's a good thing I'm not wearing my headset. Because that would be just brutal booming into my highly sensitive ears. :(

@PAM2167 - I know here in Pittsburgh, IIRC, KDKA-TV was 24 hours even in the 1950's because we were a steel town, people worked all hours of the day and night. They even called the late night movies they would show, "Swing Shift Theater." I can't remember whar WIIC/WPXI did, if they were all night or not, but WTAE-TV and WQED/WQEX did sign off soon after midnight when I was a kid.

Love it! I wish I had lived in NYC during the late 70s/early 80s.

@singinglawnchair. The thing you have to realize is that all-night television was a novelty...probably not by 1981 in NYC, but certainly not long before that in most places you'd get to about 2 or 2:30 and then it was the National Anthem, and then nothing but "snow" till about 5:30. BTW, snow is what an analog TV would display when there was nothing on! Then you'd watch the test pattern, some farm reports, and finally...cartoons.
