I like that "computer typeout" news opening, plus the use of green screen in the background on the set. Really modern for 1972!

A&P WEO turned out to be the beginning of the end of A&P. By 1975 they abandoned their markets west of the Mississippi, including Texas.

DIck Howser did not get the Rangers managerial job. That went to \Whitey Herzog, who went 47-91 and was fired, replaced by Billy Martin.

It was just before the Nixon-McGovern presidential election, so it must be November 1972.

[@MikeLutton]

Bet Archie Bunker be watching this if it about Nixon
