Thanks for the list

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

That Bogart look-alike had me confused for a few moments! 😆

[@wonmoss0206]

It's easy for me to say those were better times. I was 8 years old with limited responsibilities, the hardest having to wake up to go to school. I'm sure there were people in 1973 that were my age now who would look back on their childhood as the good old days.

55:49 this was the end of one of the NBA Championship games, I think. 1973 was ABC’s last year of NBA coverage after 8 seasons. The NBA would come back to ABC and ESPN in 2002-03. In a few months from now, the package will begin its 22nd year! Also, with the new NBA broadcast deals, ESPN and ABC will have the NBA for 11 more years beginning in 2025-26.
