Between the psychedelic animation, goofy photo-flipbook effect, saccharine-sweet music, and the all-around goofy news team, this local news promo is everything the movie "Anchorman" should have been.

  • Got anymore cuts of the Catch 5 Package?

  • Nope. I pilfered this one from another web site.

  • wow I'd watch local news every day if it was still like this.

  • Interesting how this station had an 'emeritus' anchor decades older than the others- but the usual genders were reversed. Back in the 70's it must have been unique in the US to have a woman anchor clearly in her 80s with her male colleagues in the 40s or younger instead of vice versa! Even now, the female anchors in my city who are in their fifties do their derndest to look no older than 40! Mrs. Fuldheim seems to have been quite the character! Thanks for posting this.

  • WEWS TV Catch 5, a Sid and Marty Krofft production!

  • Wow, I was a high school freshman when this commercial was playing. Thanks for posting it.

  • And this is the way it was in Hoy, West Virginia with Hugh Weinstock and his news team. Hugh was the initial inspiration for "Anchorman." Only his sign off was, "You stay sparkling, Hoy."

  • I'm Ron Burgundy. You stay classy, Cleveland!

  • John Hambrick looks like a well known gay porn actor.

  • Wow, I don't remember that!

  • @jgerard56 And I still remember to this day when Gib Shanley burned the Iranian flag to protest what was going on in the late 70's in Iran (and Dorothy Fultheim watching in total shock as it burned). Classic stuff. Gib was always the troublemaker on that station. May he rest in peace...

  • @tritonrocks: I'm guessing that it was a year or two earlier by the way I reacted to it. It brought back memories of a fond part of my childhood.

  • @studebaker62: If you google, you'll find that tape of Ms. Fuldheim throwing Jerry Rubin off her show; I remember finding it a couple of years ago.
