WCBS West 57th Open-CBS Promos-11PM News Open 1988

From WCBS New York, the open for West 57th, the hipper version of 60 Minutes, some CBS promos, a WCBS Newsbreak and the 11PM Saturday News Open with Jane Velez-Mitchell and Reggie Harris. Especially enjoyable is a promo for an action movie with Carol Burnett and her daughter which probably was a big mistake for everyone involved.

0:46 2:01 That's Meredith, ten & fourteen years before hosting the View & Millionaire. So this is where she got started on television.

..and the Monday night CBS comedy lineup (on my birthday, February 15th) looked like this:

"KATE & ALLIE": "Inside Park Avenue"

"DESIGNING WOMEN": "The Incredibly Elite Bona Fide Blue-Blood Beaumont Driving Club"

"NEWHART"; "Attention WPIV Shoppers"

"FRANK'S PLACE": "Shorty's Belle"

Actually, this aired on February 13, 1988, 'gameshow', as Carol Burnett's "Hostage" movie aired on February 14th....

this same "sitting around talking about the story" concept is now the whole premise of the TMZ television show

Yeah, according to People MAgazine at the time, she was a devoted Virginia Slims gal. I was so in love with her back then -- the look, the voice, the attitude... she was something. I don't know what she's doing these days... or if she still is inhaling those Virginia Slims.

The West 57th theme is simply outstanding. One of Edd Kalehoff's best works. I love those classic CBS promos after the intro, and the staff announcer with stylish "This is... CBS" call.

Did Jane Wallace smoke? Her voice...

...I love it.
