Oh wow, I never thought I'd see these clips again. Isn't You Tube wonderful?

Roger Grimsby & Bill Beutel Eyewitness News Team were the best ever!

Thanks so much for posting.

I love Roger Grimsby.

Whatever happened to Grisby and Beutel? When I moved away in 1985, I think they were still on the air. What's amazing is that Chuck Scarborough and Sue "What the fuck are you doing" Simmons are still on the air at channel 4!

Wonder what Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, and Roone Arledge are thinking about the second clip.

Frank Gifford did double duty as sportscaster for Eyewitness News and ABC Sports, namely NFL's "Monday Night Football" w/ the late veterans Howard Cosell and "Dandy" Don Meredith.

Did anybody else see Roger and Bill walking down that New York street and think Roger was Oscar Madison and Bill was Felix Unger? Because I got an "Odd Couple" vibe from that clip, and it was the same era that the show was on Channel 7!
