Here are some clips taken from a two-night showing of "Murder in Texas" on WPIX (New York City's channel 11), November 20-21, 1985. Thanksgiving wasn't until the following week, but the holiday is represented, as well as Christmas. You'll see:
--Toys R Us (San Rio toys, kiddie VHS tapes… is that Candace Cameron?)
--Meadowlands racing ($50,000 Holly Stakes, flight bag freebie, Friday 11/22/85)
--8 O'Clock Movie bump
--Red Buttons for New Century Village at Pembroke Pines (clubhouse)
--Kathie Lee Johnson for Carnival Cruises ("Ain't We Got Fun")
--show promo, "Dempsey and Makepeace"
--return bump
--The Prudential, piece of the Rock (Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center)
--Independent Network News tease (Marvin Scott, new lead in Etan Patz case)
--garbled bump
--INN news break (AIDS family)
--New York Newsday
--SOS pads (Thanksgiving dishes)
--Leather Warehouse (their ads were really... something)
--Woolworth (Christmas toys--Santa Trail now goes for $40 or so on eBay)
--NBO (shoeless Leon Atkind)
--Amoco Premium (Tom Seaver, getting right in a kid's face)
--Seaman's Furniture
--show promo, "Comedy Break" with Mack & Jamie (Mack Dryden and Jamie Alcroft, with glimpses of Steve Allen, Sinbad, Brad Garrett, Jeff Altman, Markie Post, and Gallagher)
--movie promo, "10 to Midnight"
--Acme Supermarkets (Thanksgiving sale)
--INN promo, Geneva summit coverage with Morton Dean (still with us!) and John Aubuchon (died in 2003 at 57)
--bump with dead air before and after, with "11 Alive" chyron and station ID before movie resumes.
