  • TV Network Anniversary Specials of the Late 1970s
    Aug 7 2024
    On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, Smitty welcomes back pioneering Videophile Ray Glasser to the Show. Ray was on the program a few years ago, and on this return visit, Smitty and Ray recall the anniversary specials of the TV Networks which aired in the mid to late 1970s. In those years, the television networks celebrated their golden and silver anniversaries, by presenting unique and extravagant programs to commemorate these events. The programs focused on the history and origins of the networks which began as radio networks before venturing in television. We look back and compare the historically-rich specials of that time period to the more showy song and dance programs of later anniversaries. The differences in audiences and how people watch television from those days to these modern times are discussed. Additionally, Ray shares memories of those early years of home video recording, and the excitement of being able to record programs for later playback and preservation. Also the superior quality of the Betamax format is discussed by Betaphiles Ray and Smitty. It's a nostalgic look back at those years of television and what we watched as we celebrated those anniversaries.

  • Car Memories!
    Mar 12 2024
    It's all about car memories! Galaxy Good Guy Tom Dulaney joins us as we remember fad, fun, and muscle cars of the 1960's and 1970s. Tom's expertise sizes up many of that time period's fad cars, like the Chevrolet Vega, AMC Pacer, Volkswagen Beetle, and other memorable compact and economy cars. Our discussion of Pontiac GTOs and big block Chevys and Fords may race across your memories, bringing back the smell of burning tire rubber and twenty-nine cent Hi-Test gasoline. We discuss the evolution of today's electric cars, and remind show listeners that non-gasoline powered vehicles go back to the early 20th century! Who out there recalls the childhood thrill of taking to the road in the family station wagon or large sedan, back in a time of cheap gas and gas guzzlers? Order a burger, fries, and a triple thick milkshake, then hop into your cruiser and join us on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network https://bit.ly/MuscleCarsFadCars
