I swear during the late 70s KCOP 13 showed nothing all day except GET SMART and GOMER PYLE. Maybe they would pop in with local news or and occasional movie but then it would just go right back to Get Smart and Gomer Pyle all they way past midnight, I loved it.
Beatlemania on Thanksgiving weekend, while I was recording "Help!" (not yet on home video) from cable. Two weeks later, we got the news that the real Beatles were never going to be able to get back together.
LOL the Control Data guy says something about people in "jobs that go nowhere" and then he goes on to list "television repairman". Talk about a job that soon went nowhere, literally.
Lmao....What’s the hurry, I can always start my training tomorrow toMORROW TOMORROW....😆 that commercial was nonstop on channel 13...I remember, I use to tell my mom and dad...what’s the hurry, I can always start my homework tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow....
6:09 , ... I attended the CDI on Arbor Vitae near LAX. They had this one 'teacher' named Brian, I think, who tended to confuse everybody in the damned class. One individual student had a problem with an input device and brought it to him. If I remember correctly, he told the guy to simply reverse the polarity and that would solve the problem. I think the results caused the guy to end up dropping the class without being liable for any damages done.
I wanted to call some of these phone numbers, to see if it's too late to sign-up for one of these vocational schools. In 1980, it wasn't necessary to use the area code, since all of Los Angeles was 213. Now it's a ton of area codes. I'm still dialing to figure out how to reach National Technical Schools. :/
I WAS 9 IN 1980 HEY WHO WANTS TO GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS TALENTED TV COMMERCIALS TV SHOWS SITCOMS REAL MUSICIANS AND BANDS AND SINGERS LIKE AT 1:37 TO 2:05 NO AUTO TUNE NEEDED REAL SPORTS. AND WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLY AMAZING RAISE YOUR HAND MY TIME MACHINE WILL PICK YOU UP✋😁
2:38 - Aqueduct City - I wonder how many people lost money speculating on that amazing land deal. Nothing ever came of it. Today, the land is still just sitting there.
Um, no. Both shows were back on KHJ in 1984 (after being on KCOP since 1981), and stayed on KHJ until 1986. *expletive deleted* KHJ has been KCAL-9 since December 1989.
Ben Hunter was a tv host on Kttv channel 11 Los Angeles. He showed a lot of old movies e g from MGM. Test Pilot, Boom Town, A Date with Judy, The Harvey Girls. Before TCM and Robert Osborne, Ben Hunter told you about the movie. The plot, the actors, the directors,he had a lot of information prior to Leonard Maltin and Tom Hatten's knowledge of the old Hollywood classics. He showed a movie called Manhattan Melodrama. It was made in 1934 and starred Clark Gable and William Powell. It was the last movie the late gangster John Dillinger 1903-. 1934 saw before he was killed in Chicago at the Biograph theatre. Ben Hunter made watching old movies entertaining. I think he was showing old movies from the 1960s until the 1980s. He died around 1980. Check out Google newspapers archives from the Press Courier. Los Angeles tv stations were playing in Oxnard Ca.
Shawn Malone He died on December 12, 1980 of a massive heart attack, according to a Facebook group I belong to. Ben was also well known for showing Laurel & Hardy on KTTV on the midday as well. I remember him quite well as a preschool aged viewer of his in the early-to-mid '70s. What great memories! 😁
Loved the diet commercial, that husband was a jerk, not letting her have a frikkin table spoon of macaroni salad. Restrictions are not part of a healthy life style...weight watchers is awesome
And to think, not one commercial promoting pharmaceutical products of any kind. How far we have fallen as a society when, at every turn, pharmaceutical companies have practically taken over the airwaves. Very sad indeed.
lakebay972 WRONG!!!!! That's well-known KTTV Ch. 11 broadcaster Ben Hunter who was famous for hosting old Hollywood movies, Laurel & Hardy shorts & features, and, for hosting a talk show on that same station here in L.A. which featured child adoption. 😃
