KNBC-4 KNXT-2 1974 Channel Jumping Around Some Cool Goodies...

[@mikevanriel7573]

Sadly, a lot of sports, local children and game shows from 1974 are lost.

[@luisreyes1963]

The good old days of when not every 3rd commercial was for a prescription drug during NFL games. 🏈

[@StevenClark-l8r]

you mean like last weekend? Not picking on you but the damn drug commercials are everywhere these days!!!

[@guerralg63]

​@@StevenClark-l8r, I wonder if the reason why the only commercials we see today are because the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies have all the money to advertise these days?

[@ericsamuelson5656]

Going back & forth between 2 football games is the closest to a time machine we have

[@impalaman9707]

Well, they weren't exactly the most happening NFL teams in the mid-70s! They were exactly the Dallas Cowboys or Pittsburgh Steelers!

21:42 Actor Christopher Reeves for JC Penny before he became Superman

[@fromthesidelines]

0:27- Andre Kostelanetz, who recorded many semi-classical and "mood music" albums over a 40 year period (among other musical achievements), He passed away in 1980, at the age of 78.

And in a "Bicentennial minute", as a bonus.

Telly savalas made an album? Awesome stuff and Christopher Reeve in a JCPenney commercial double nice 👍

[@impalaman9707]

1) The NBA on CBS theme sounds like the Partridge Family...2) at 39:14---I always wondered what the were saying to each other at the sports desk after the audio went off!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@meheuck]

33:22 - this Norris Industries ad is very likely an inspiration for the "Zinc Oxide and You" sketch in KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE.

[@ernestcruz6316]

1:47 - Telly Savalas in a promo for his 1974 MCA album. I don't know if it's her, but the woman in the ad with him looks like former Playboy Playmate Christina Smith. 5:57 - Mason Adams (I think?) for Security Pacific Bank. 21:44 - As others have noted, that's a young Christopher Reeve in the ad for JC Penney. 23:55 - Ricardo Montalban for the 1975 Chrysler Cordoba. 25:38 - Rich Little for Pizza Hut. 26:26 - As my friend Maynard said below, that's Andrea Marcovicci in the Polaroid commercial. 37:39 - Bart Starr for Stihl chansaws.

The Rams/Jets game here was played October 27th, 1974

[@unreeled8184]

References to the John Hadl trade. Certainly a disastrous outcome for the Packers.

[@smichaelb1980]

The very first clip on the tape is a '200 years ago today' segment for 10/27/1774...so yeah😁

[@diamonddog13]

Jack Buck was 50 years old but looked 80.

@@diamonddog13you go fight at the Battle of the Bulge and let’s see how you age. He had a rough early life.

This was when Shea Stadium hosted the Mets, Yankees and Jets. Yankee Stadium was in the first year of its two-year rebuild and Giants Stadium was two years away.

3:05 we had a 75 Caprice coupe. EPA rated at 13/18 mpg.

[@danhendrickson7708]

That trade fior John Hadl set my team back several years. Dumbest move the packers ever made.

I am going to see her sing at The Gardenia in Los Angeles next month!

All of this footage is from Sun. 10/27/74

[@chrisutley2859]

Assuming this was recorded in sequence, the Columbo NBC Mystery Movie footage may be from the Sunday prior

[@jamieschmidt939]

@@chrisutley2859 It appears to be all from the same day, just out of sequence.

5:54 "Monday in Color" Seems strange to indicate color since NBC had been a full color network for almost a decade

[@EnhancedStuff]

Definitely

Who was that lady at 36:24 who interviewed the Blazer fans?

[@meheuck]

Probably Phyllis George, before she joined "THE NFL TODAY."

[@jamieschmidt939]

I believe her name is Jane Chastain.
