Spectrum - Movie Ending & Intermission Opening (1983?)

Views: 1370

Finally - some Spectrum footage! (Sorry, OnTV fans...) Here's the ending of the film "Diner" followed by a Spectrum ID and Intermission animation with the beginning of "Cleveland Smith Bounty Hunter"

Not sure when this aired exactly, but the movie Diner came out in March of 1982, so I would imagine that this wouldn't get to Spectrum until 1983, no?

Views: 1907

Here's the opening for the ON TV presentation of the Bob Hope movie "The Cat and the Canary". Includes the ON TV logo animation at the beginning, but curiously, no MPAA ratings notice.

Here's another transition from regular ON TV Subscription Television programming to the "Optional Service" of Adults Only mode, which was presenting the movie "Russ Meyer's SuperVixens". (this immediately followed the presentation of "Alien".
