Really nice improvement here. Source recording was a bit fuzzy, drab, and dark, but using Topaz and Resolve I put a real nice shine on it . See the before/after screenshots here --- imgbox.com/g/5...
You ain’t kidding there Don Carpenter . She was the living definition of The 2 word phrase😢 … S M O K I N H O T. ! I. And the audience lowly yells out ( Dangerfield style “”. How hot was she ? And then. You answer back “” I’m tellin ya you have no idea how hot this girl was , I’m tellin ya im tellin ya this girl was hotter than the space shuttle exhaust during liftoff ! Is that hot enough for you ? Bookqqqq aqqqqqp van we’re
God I wanted her ever since the first time i saw her on "Diffrent Strokes", as Arnolds school teacher. Was too young to know what to actually do with her, but then again, i probably still wouldnt, judging my performance in the sack.
Dave this is one of your best uplaods ever as I literally felt like I was living in a time machine on Thanksgiving Day 1978 with the commercials, and I love seeing this great era of The NFL Today as well. This is a true treasure of an enhanced upload as this looks like you cable back in 1978, that's how great the quality was here. Redskins and Cowboys had some truly beautiful uniforms here as I hate it that the Skins took away the gold pants the season after this one. Watching the 70s Cowboys is special too.
I was watching this on my TV last night and you're right - for whatever reason this one just has the 'look' of an original airing. Not sure what the difference was, but this one just really 'took' to the enhancement.
@@davemartino5997 no doubt. I love that era. More of a joke than a critique. The color man changed with Madden. Before that, the color guys weren’t expected to be experts.
Seeing Irv Cross being very sharp and articulate here, it's sad to think that in the decades to come he would suffer from dementia and was diagnosed with CTE. Sports television nowadays could use more presenters in the mold of Irv Cross.
Another great game! Great memories. I was 13 when I first watched this and at that time I wanted to grow up and be like Larry Csonka or Robert Newhouse. Thanks for bringing up these good memories with these great games.
I was 16 when this aired. I LOVED Thanksgiving games. Would love to go back to that day, when I was 16, happy, most of my relatives were still alive. My mom (who I miss dearly) was cooking the bird in the kitchen, and my dad and I were watching football while the guests were arriving. Such a fun, simple time. Now I’m a grumpy old man of 61 lol. I LOVE seeing the commercials from that time as well.
Another then 13 year-old checking in. I recall sitting around the dinner table with family that Thanksgiving. 🎉 It was a transitional year for this St. Louis kid, as l was painfully aware the Coach Coryell era was over for my NFC Cardinals, but my AFC Oilers rise of the past few years was finally gonna result in a playoff berth. Couldn't stand Dallas or Washington, but most any game between these two was can't miss TV back in the 1970s & 80s. Luved Ya Mom, Dad, & Blue.! 💙
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Would be a shame if they do....they should hire you to do the work that you are doing by bringing these classics back to life. In the meantime, hurry with more games like these....
Love this choice of games.....Everything Cowboys/Redskins in this era was competitive and fun. Appointment TV for me as I made sure I could watch this one live when it originally aired. Even though I have seen it a few times since, I am ready to watch this one again!
Of all the wonderful videos you’ve posted, this may be my favorite. Being a Cowboys fan, where Thanksgiving football is a mainstay tradition, this is special to see. Plus, including the best pregame show of all time, and the nostalgic commercials….this is a great time capsule and I couldn’t be happier. Keep them coming…thank you very much
The 1970’s was truly the golden era of football. Of course I’m biased, I was ages 8-17 in the 1970’s. This is great to rewatch. I used to watch the Saturday Night highlight show with Summerall and Brookshier EVERY Saturday night with my dad, it was my favorite show.
Tremendously clean and bright enhancement. This video has a shine it hasn't had since it first aired. And I always enjoy seeing the Cowboys pummel the Redskins. Great job, Dave!
THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️You even left the old commercials in . YES!!!! My only way to go back in time besides music. For someone who was plopped in front of this box as a toddler, there has never been a day I didn’t spend at least 7 hours a day in front of. My average the past ten years is approximately 16 hours a day. ( see Everything is on T.V.- The Hellacopters )…Retro- tv is my heaven. I don’t watch any new shows. Thank you for letting me go back in time. I cherish every second. Keep it up. Any old shows, fights, news events, upload them. I’ll be waiting.
Mad props to you for getting this cleaned up and posted. Commercials and all to boot!! I was 14 years old and loving that this game was on Thanksgiving so I didn't have to miss any of the game while I was at church. Mass at 11:30am was sacred in our house. That's why I go at 7:30am now 😀
It always seemed cool to me when I was a kid when the road team who played their home games on grass came into Dallas wearing their home colors on the turf with all of the shadows And I always liked when all of the NFC East teams would wear their whites at home & make Dallas wear their royal blue jerseys Back then those jerseys were a bit of a curse for Dallas & they dropped them for good after they lost the NFC Championship game in 1980 to the Eagles. Like always Dave, these colors are really popping ! Thanks again

The one time I felt the pain of Joe was when he beat us in Death Valley in 1977. I loved the Dwight Clark came out of Clemson just by picking up the phone on the way to play golf. Then when Bill asked to speak with him after running routes for Steve Fuller, he just said "I only caught 11 passes all year." and Bill said-"did you have a game where you caught more than 1." and Dwight said-" I caught two against UNC." The rest is history.
I thank you for this upload. You don't understand what this game means to me. This was literally the 1st game I watched with my father and I became a Redskins fan at age 6.
With sports betting being at an all time height of popularity Jimmy the Greek today would be in heaven today. He was such a pioneer in sports prognosticating. 50 years later our whole country is a bunch of Jimmy the Greeks trying to get an edge to a big payday.
Jimmy Greek quoted something he read in a book, didn't explain the context right, then got thrown under the bus by CBS and certain rabble rouser's and IMO, it was completely unjustified.
It's like a time machine. Since they took my beloved team I really really appreciate this stuff from decades before I was born even. Thank you so much for the post.
This is 1 year b4 I could sit through an entire game..I was 8 years old..My most memorable skins vs cowboys game was in 79 heart breaking 35-34 loss..But crazy to think Gibbs Era our best era..Was 3 years away Httr
The 1978 Thanksgiving classic. I remember seeing on the scoreboard mentioning. "Welcome to Texas Stadium." "Welcome to the Thanksgiving classic." They had a great lineup for this gamr.
It was Super Bowl XII that made me a fan of these Dallas Cowboys. It was this payback beatdown of Washington that was monumental in making America's Team my Team. I had just turned 9 years old. To say they were so exciting to watch, is the understatement of understatements. The 1978 Cowboys was as complete as any in Franchise History. Most exciting for me was that Defense. Randy Manster White, Ed Too Tall Jones, Harvey Martin(should be in Canton), Hollywood Henderson, DD Lewis, Charlie Waters, Cliff Harris. The Offense was as deep in talent as the Team ever had. And Tom Rafferty should also be in the HOF. This game was huge. Washington embarrased the Cowboys on MNF 9-5 earlier in the year. Then came this ultimate payback. And a showcase of just how special this team was. America's Team. HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS
I recently viewed the 1975 Cowboys/Redskins game Dave Volskey posted on YT, where Pat Summerall's play-calling here in 1978 was a lot smoother than he was for that 1975 game.
I wonder if there's a game out there with the "Punt, Pass, Kick" competition from Philadelphia? It'd be great to hear an 8 year old get booed cuz he could only throw for 20 yards.
Maybe Volsky is one of those time travelers. If he can show us the 1962 Packers, I'll be convinced. Thanks for these NFL games. Especially the ones with holiday commercials. The only thing I didn't like back then was the artificial turf.
I'm sure I put a thumbs up on a good 95% plus of the comments. It's like one giant family of nostalgia that seems to be watching all of these games of yours. Pat Summerall's statement at the end of the halftime show with that marching band and it's good ol U.S. of A. flag was epic indeed. "If that didn't make you proud to live here, I don't know what does"
Does anyone know where that music starting at 29:03 comes from? I always thought it was kind of hokey. CBS had pretty random music and graphics packages in that era, which was a contrast to NBC-and to CBS itself from fall 1981 onward.
The 1978 Cowboys entered the season as defending SB champions. They struggled during the first half of the season & were 6-4 at one point. They would finish the rest of the regular season undefeated including this victory over the R*skins that avenged an earlier loss to them. They would make it back it back to the SB where, unfortunately, they would lose to their nemesis, the Pittsburgh Steelers, in SB XIII. That was the fifth & final SB of-the Landry era.
The Cowboys couldn’t wait for this game, the Redskins won the first meeting on MNF 9-5, Theismann took a safety on the final play and spiked the ball in the end zone, Cowboys players didn’t like that, Harvey Martin in particular didn’t like it and said we’ll see them again
What the heck was wrong with McDaniel, the Redskins receiver? He didn’t look like he was really trying much at all. I saw him drop at least two balls that were catchable.
Would you happen to have the November 9, 1970 Monday Night Football Game between the Baltimore Colts and Green Bay Packers with the Halftime Highlights?
@ 1:02:45, Cowboys also got Pat Donovan and Randy Hughes in the 4th round of the 1975 draft. Cowboys used the 44th pick in the second round on guard Burton Lawless who never became a regular but started when others had suffered injuries.
@@JosePerez-vz1qq When comparing Jayne's career from her CBS days to the occasional guest starring roles she had in movies and TV dramas, she appeared to be much more at ease being herself on live TV than she was playing a character in movies and TV.
To think less than a year after this broadcast ESPN was about to be born and revolutionize sports. Many female broadcasters started out at a ESPN. They have pioneers in Phyllis and Jayne to thank for paving the way.
