ABC Network - Monday Night Special - "Homosexuals: Out From The Shadows" (Bumper Promo, 1976)

Views: 1886

Voiceover by Scott Vincent.

This promo aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, March 15th 1976 during the 9pm to 10pm timeframe.

On the night that The Day After - an ABC presentation about the effects of a full-scale nuclear attack on the United States (and one of the most-watched movies for television) aired, NBC Sunday Night at the Movies aired Part 1 of the mini-series Kennedy.

Here's a rare bumper and the ending credits for Forever Fernwood on WFLD Channel 32, followed by a filmed promo for Night Gallery (screwed up with a voiceover by Bud Kelly promoting the upcoming Honeymooners episode that followed immediately).

The "Night Gallery Hour" promo ends with a neat animated "32" logo left over from the Kaiser era - I don't think we've seen this here before.

Lastly we have the first moments of the opening titles of The Ho...
