<p dir="auto">Growing up in the 70s around Fairfield County Ct., one of my favorite TV memories was watching the 4:30 movie on WABC.<br />
They used to have theme weeks, like Planet of the Apes week, Vincent Price week and my favorite as a kid, Monster week starring Godzilla and all the other Japanese monsters.<br />
This was before cable TV and VCRs, when our roof antenna only picked up seven stations.<br />
Any 70s TV fans  of the 4:30 movie out there?<br />

<p dir="auto">I can still hear the theme song and see the rotating movie director with the camera in my head.</p>

<p dir="auto">Actually, I remember Oprah taking over that spot?<br />
I loved the 4:30 movie and that opening. Also the Million Dollar Movie on Channel 9, the WPIX movies with that great bongo theme, and the CBS Late Late Show!</p>

<p dir="auto">Sadly, taken over by Judge Wampter in 1981.<br />
VCR's and cable TV packages were making the 4:30 movie an obsolete dinosaur .<br />
But , In the 70s, that show ruled.<br />
"You work your side of the street, and I'll work mine"</p>

<p dir="auto">Does this take you back?<br />
This was the later version in the 1970s.<br />
I grew up in New Jersey, and this was regular daily viewing for me when I came home after school. This was where I first discovered such classics as<br />
To Kill a Mockingbird; To Sir, With Love;  Bye Bye Birdie;<br />
and<br />
Some Like it Hot<br />
.<br />
There was also Biblical Epic Week, Martin and Lewis Week, Silly Sex Comedy Week (or something like that) and other themes I can't remember. Because of the 90 minute time slot, a lot of these movies were shown over two (or more) days.<br />
Occasionally, the movie was pre-empted by an "ABC Afterschool Special," but otherwise, this was a treat for movie lovers.<br />
Unfortunately, the slot would be taken over by "Oprah" and other local stations followed suit; later generations of kids got stuck with that and with other daytime sludge such as "Judge Judy," "Jerry Springer," etc. At least there are<br />
cable movies in the afternoon now.<br />
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!<br />
Hewwo.</p>
