Is this the only opening to AM America? Wish someone would post some other openings. I was 16 when this premiered and loved the opening.

Stephanie Edwards co-hosted the Rose Parade with Bob Eubanks for many years on KTLA, Channel 5 in Los Angeles, which re-runs the parade throughout New Year’s Day.

Perhaps the only surviving fragment of the series, not counting an ABC closed circuit broadcast from 1974 that was intended only for the affiliates…

Oh wow! Stephanie Edwards has said that the show was just a joke at the time. Peter Jennings was appalled to be a part of it. I now see what she was talking about. That was awful!😮

Great to see Eric Idle!

This would never have been able to be done today. Bill Beutel (who was off this day) was a legend in New York TV news, for several years before and several years after this co-anchoring WABC-TV (Channel 7 in) New York Eyewitness News with Roger Grimsby, himself a legend as well.

5:11 is such a wonderfully pissed off reaction to the group that it genuinely cracked everyone up, including me.

Peter was awesome

This was actually much longer. They were on for the entire hour as "co-hosts" and they went wild! The full version on on KZbin years ago but then it disappeared.

Abc should’ve kept the AM America title, there was no reason to change it as the morning show. I know the show was unsuccessful but they could’ve revamped it into the format that became Good Morning America. Same with the Goodnight America title

I can't tell the real difference between AMA and GMA except GMA had the homey den set with the homespun David Hartman . While the Today show was the almost pure news show behind the formal new desk .

Yep… Involuntary flashback. Spontaneous Monty Python…actually flipped the bird. Peter Jennings is trying to seriously announce the actual Fall of Saigon. Classic original/live Monty Python tho… Difficult balance…I thing KZbin is trying to say something here…

Is that Rick "Mr. P. Dude, Jr" Hunter doing the intro on the first two seconds?

The music was boring and awful and the set was bad.... Stephanie Edwards very cute, 31 yo here....

Thank you for Sharing This. Great 😃👍 Memories from 1975.

The Hussle , Shake shake shake. Get down tonight, big fat misses wright. Scorpians inTrance.

Ayy its the dude…

>"Wouldn't you know, we're out of time!" >Rolls over a minute and a half of credits.

ABC dicided to go to Good morning America

Good ol' cast of MP. Guaranteed to raise a smile...or something.

The 70s was good and bad times

Not Python’s best. They come across here as ruffians. They had a hard time catching on with Americans until PBS aired their full show in ‘77.

The opening montage brings back memories of the mornings when I was in 6th grade. My dad was laid off and had this on the tv as my siblings and I ate breakfast. The kids at 0:49 were older, biģger kids to me back then. I often wondered if they worried about going to school and getting beat up like I did(My hometown was starting a slow but steady collapse). The clips of americana sometimes made me wonder what it was like growing up in another place where the crime was so bad, the kids were allowed to leave their block and bike forever(And their bikes weren't in danger of being stolen). The mid 1970s Innocent times? Somewhat. Better times? Not exactly.

WFAA in Dallas didn't carry AMerica, opting for their own "AM Show."

From April 25, 1975.

My dad worked at this station downtown in the 60s and early 70s as a copy writer for both radio and TV. Chuck Collins ( not his real name) remembers me but I don't remember him, lived in the same neighborhood and played baseball together in Marquette Heights. Thats what Chuck told me online some years ago. His real name when he mentioned it, I only vaguely remember.

Ended up here because of the loss of Terry Jones, and was reminded of how much I miss Peter Jennings. This video is a treasure of a time capsule.

Great theme. It is very inviting.

Yikes, juxtapose the great comic moments with the developing fall of Saigon.

Great too see the young Peter Jennings and cast of Monty Python in America on April 25 1975!!! Which I was a young kid and didn't know it was ANZAC Day until I find out about it 20 years later in 1995!!!!

Peter Jennings did not look happy.

Oh wow...Stephanie Edwards about 15 years before becoming pitchwoman for Lucky Supermarkets in the early 90s.

Good Morning America was such an UPGRADE from this amateurish hour. I remember my Mom was so excited to see David Hartman (David who?) of GMA back in 1975. I was 9 yo. Sept. 1975 was also when CKND-TV (Winnipeg, Canada) launched and we lost great tv station KCND-TV 12 from Pembina, ND.

AM America later became Good Morning America

These were the days. Peter Jennings Stephnie Edwards. I miss these days terribly

At 3:06 seconds Stephanie farted in Graham's general direction....check out his glance her way.

i’ve been searching for this everywhere. thanks so much!! cheers! :-)

Graham Chapman flipping off America, the first thing in the morning, on broadcast TV. It just does not get any better than that!

I think Geraldo Rivera used to be on that show.

I didn't watch this, I was too busy watching cartoons when I was home, but I was in school at the time.

Terry Gilliam was the only American in Monty Python.

Saigon would fall in a few days.

Stephanie Edwards filled in for Joan Lunden the week that John Lennon was assassinated on "Good Morning America ".

They looked so young.

Obviously, Peter Jennings was not a morning man.

How pleasant, hilarious and great in general. 1975 also had within it, the first 90 or so days of Saturday Night Live! :D

Theme is Spirit of 76 (A.M America) by William Goldstein

"A.M. America" was ABC's first attempt doing a morning news program and to compete with "The Today Show" on NBC. It premiered in January 1975, and ran until that October, but the program was retooled and was better known as "Good Morning, America".

That's Len Caruso doing the voiceover for WABC-TV. Caruso was a very successful announcer with ABC, along with notables such as Bill Rice,Fred Foy,Fred Collins,Scott Vincent and Wally Parker.

Palin siempre con cortes de pelo algo problemáticos. ..o muy corto.o muy frondoso. o tipo "tazón "...bueno. eran los 70'. 😜💕👀
