Retro Friday: Rocky and Bullwinkle on KNXT's "Two on the Town", plus an old KABC Newscast



In 1982, KCBS Channel 2 was still known as KNXT-TV, and "Two on the Town" was its signature nightly magazine show. Here's Steve Edwards introducing a piece on Rocky & Bullwinkle, including an interview with the vocal talents (such as William Conrad, who handled the announcing).

Now, a bonus Retro Friday clip:



Pretty interesting stuff -- 9 minutes from a 1980 KABC newscast. You actually see the end of one newscast (I love how they used to run off the set at the end of the show!), followed by a few old commercials, then the start of another Jerry Dunphy-anchored newscast ("From the desert to the sea!") It's a big night for KABC, covering flooding in the Southland. Check out all the live shots via the Channel 7 "Action Camera"!
