It certainly has that 70s look to it. I vaguely remember this.
I remember the Sunday World of Disney opening, and would be ticked if the Sunday Night Football was overtime.. lol
(Nothing else to watch.. we were lucky when we got 2 channels, sometimes a very snowy 3rd channel, so there was usually nothing else to watch))
Dennis weaver always struck me as a wimp 😏
Me too...
He could never get away from “Chester”...
Tuesday Movie Of The Week The Night Stalker 1972.
Intro included
Excellent Print here if you actually want to watch it...
He was in a movie in ‘71 called Duel.....an entertaining movie but I think he played himself.......a puss. LoL
Strongly influenced by Douglas Trumbull's slit-scan technique, developed for Kubrick's 2001.
Similarly used by the contemporaneous intro for the ABC Movie of the Week:
ABC Movie of the Week opening sequence, created in 1969.
The theme song is Burt Bacharach's song for his daughter, Nikki.
You know you were about to watch something awesome when you saw this logo spin across your screen....

Is that the one where he was stalked by the truck driver??
Yep. Through the desert.
I remember that movie...He WAS a wuss!!!!
Too close to “As Time Goes By.”
Unfortunately I can't seem to find it on YouTube, and years ago when I sent a letter to CBS they told me that they just don't keep track of those things, and it was most likely some spur of the moment composition by one of the house musicians.
Don’t remember it, because I never watched CBS on Saturday night or any night.
**I remember that movie...He WAS a wuss!!!!**
What was ridiculous was that a car couldn’t outrun a loaded semi on mountainous roads. They showed the truck lugging uphill. Weaver could have been long gone. Going down hill they show the truck in the rear view mirror, closing the gap really fast, thanks to the driver of the car applying the brakes (speeding up the camera would have caused the scenery to go by too quickly).
At the end the loaded fuel tanker goes over a cliff pushing a car that’s on fire, tumbles down, and doesn’t spring a leak anywhere.
I saw how stupid that show was decades before I became a truck driver.
It was Steven Spielberg’s first full length film.
“What was ridiculous was that a car couldn’t outrun a loaded semi”
To be fair it was a Mopar product. 😁
Interesting....I did not know that.
