I was 10 years old when this promo aired. This clip evokes such beautiful feelings inside of me. And it doesn't matter how sad, angry or stressful I am. When I play this clip I have an orgasmic sense of serenity.

wow I remember these faces, such great shows back then. @zibbyzubb I thought I was the only one that noticed tvland is not tvland anymore! and how can we get it back. awesom memories thanks.

Boy, does this bring back memories. And for those of you who say that we had the same problems then as we do know, yes to a certain extent. But the difference then was that we were a more unified country and people. You didn't have a 24/7 news cycle on cable and the Internet so people would just 'give it a rest' after Walter Cronkite went off the air. Only 3 major networks...everybody watched the same shows at the school bus stop...ditto adults at dinner parties...a simpler time for all.

The ABC FRIDAY Night movie was always the schizzola,though.

...AND on only three vhf channels,a PBS station,and two flea powered channel 89 uhf stations-IF you lived in a major urban area.Our fights,in our family,was whether we watched Friday night shows for the girls or for the boys.(The girls ALWAYS won,btw!)

That's Jack Sheldon in the "MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL" promo; part-time actor, part-time trumpeter (he was in Mort Lindsey's band on "THE MERV GRIFFIN SHOW" at the time).

@zibbyzubb Maybe, but even with the fact that I don't have a time machine, I think that older people back in '71 were complaining about the same thing we do now (I am not making any justice to the television ''shows'' produced now), specially when prime time was cut down to three hours and cigarette commercials (until then the largest source of television advertising) were banned, apart from the same troubles we face in 2011: a deteriorating economy, civil unrest and socially relevant comedies.

I used to watch Room 222! I wanted to look like Karen Valentine, she was so cute. :)

I love these fall promo videos. I hope more will be posted. What great TV we had back then, and those shows still look good today. Thank God for DVD since the idiots progamming TV Land insist on ignoring geat shows any older than 15 years or they show the same shows (Gunsmoke/Bonanza) that they've shown for 10 years now. As for TV today, somehow I don't think 30 years from now we will be looking back fondly on reality crap like Dancing With The Stars, Survivor, The Bachelor, Big Brother etc.

ill bet you if the networks for one day just wiped all thier crud from the air and replaced them with these shows the ratings would go thru the roof
