Yeah, remember when big movies were treated as an "event" when they were shown on broadcast television?
The younger members wouldn't even remember waiting all year to see "Gone with the Wind" or "The Wizard of Oz." Not to mention "The Godfather Saga," which wasn't shown nearly as much as the former two films.
I definitely remember anxiously waiting to see the broadcast premier of the GF. I believe NBC bought the rights for a one-time showing on Saturday (or maybe Sunday) Night at the Movies a couple of years after its release I believe. Remember how that proliferated into an ... at the Movies almost every night?
