Here's the opening of the ABC news show "Our World".
Hosted by Linda Ellerbee & Ray Gandolf.
I believe this was the very first show.
That week's focus was "The Summer of '69".
Song by Sly & The Family stone "Hot Fun In The Summertime"!
The begining has some commercials.
Included are:
Light N Lively Low Fat Cottage Cheese
The New York Times
WABC Eyewitness News promo [Ernie Anastos & Roz Abrams]
Thanks for posting this.

This was a great show. I used to watch this with my mom who was part of the baby boom generation.

@JWROWE3 Actually, it was "Tape Cosby; watch Our World." That didn't work.
ABC pulled that same stunt a decade later with "Watch Murder One and tape ER"...we didn't fall for it as well.

Cosby Show was the new hit on NBC. Magnum PI was the old hit on CBS. ABC had a throw away time slot and put on a fabulous show. Would love to see this type of show on any network. Oprah this is a perfect fit for you.

Sadly, this show was doomed at the beginning. remember it was on Thursday nights...up against "Cosby"... So....
Linda Ellerbee used to joke about the fact people would 'watch" Cosby, and "tape" her show, to watch later.

I remember that show. I liked it at the time and it was probably one of the last attempts to put something intellectual on at prime time. If I remember the show only lasted a few seasons until it was pulled and all the intellectual programming went to cable (of course, now, it is no longer there either).

The "TV as Time Machine" technique was great. Decades of important news footage languish in vaults when it could be used like this today. Shows like this would be constructive replacements for today's "talking head" cable imbeciles who do nothing but divide us.

This show was fantastic. I was one of the few who watched it while the rest of the world watched The Cosby Show and Family Ties. Could you upload the entire episode?
