3AM watching old news reels from 15+ years before I was born. With all this pandemic stuff going on I wish I could leap into that Covid free world of 40 years ago
I'd stop carrying a cell phone if pay phones were still around.
Have you Complied with the Plan-Demic?
2023 now, and STILL wish I could just will myself back to those times.
I was 2 years old then and I wish I could jump back to when everything was that cheap!😊
You can move to rural TX no one believed it. we still don't.
I love binge watching these old videos anything from the 70’s and 80’s
So I was 6 y o in 1980 :)
Love watching these old clips and reels, crazy how I skipped to a random time in the video and ended up on a story that took place near where I live in Canada, I wasn’t expecting that!
Kroger 0:43 Finger Furniture with Houston Oilers Legend Earl Campbell with his real life mother 10:25 former Handy Den home improvement with former Houston Oilers and KHOU 11 News sports anchor director Giff Nielsen 22:37 and Whataburger with country Legend Mel Tims
0:11 Bum Phillips and Ken Staebler!
It's Mel Tillis, not Tims. And you forgot 7:06 Marvin Zindler!!
Marvin Zindler killed it each and every time!! A true legend!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅 "We got slime in the ice machine"😂😂😂This was before my time but Alief was very diverse when i went there in mid 2007. This is so interesting because Houston is so diverse today.
Opening the news with cool hand luke, and closing the show with Move Closer to Your World, what an awesome combo!
Fun to watch during the Corona virius. Anyone else watching?
Yes actually!
Yes...
Me!
Yes. A simpler time in life, miss the good ol days!
Yeah born in 02 but like watching old news
I ❤the Houston Post. It was great when Houston was a 2 newspaper town.
My Uncle was ahead of State circulation for a long time. I felt bad for him when they shut down. He was 5 years away from retirement. Ended up at Amarillo's newspaper. He ended up retiring up there. Miss him a lot. RIP.
How ironic, Dave Ward reporting on boozers. He was at Kay's Lounge so much they should have put a plaque at his spot.
Exactly my thoughts! I can recall when he admitted of his drinking problem at the end of a live newscast..........and lets not forget Doug's nose candy habit too.
@@hubriswonk At least he admitted to it-- too many keep it under wraps forever, and never admit.
Do as I say, not as I do !
Amazing how it's mostly news, no commentary and practically no propaganda.
Before the internet enhanced people’s lives so much
Kinda wish I grew up this time so I can have better life skills
life was better before the internet n everyone having a cell phone....a lot better.
@Lewi Yonas life is what you make of it. I grew up in the 1970’s and it was no better than it is today. To me, it SEEMS like it was better because I was young and I had my whole life ahead of me. Don’t ever let an adult tell you things were better when they were growing up, those are people who have trouble embracing change, and the world will always change, it’s inevitable. Go out and do good in the world and make the most of the time you’re here.
@@russell_szabados thanks for the advice pal
@@driver4011 doubt it
@Lewi Yonas you’re very welcome!
Around 1982 Ed Brandon was scheduled to come to my school and was a no show. We all were assembled and seated ready to see him speak about weather and after about an hour of waiting we were sent back to class. We never got an explanation or a reschedule from Ed Brandon. After I got older and learned he was a cocaine addict and have no doubt he was a no show because he was probably partying the night before. I'm so glad he went to drug rehab to help him with addiction problems. It's obvious at the time he stayed clean because he started gaining weight. Rest in peace Ed.
@@dr.lorianne I was at Burnett elementary school located in the southeast Houston neighborhood of Scarsdale. Just curious if you were from that area when Ed Brandon was a no show.
Man I used to love going to Fingers furniture store it was huge they had an astro museum ❤
The Fingers furniture on I 45 just south of downtown was my first job.
I remember a different commercial that Earl did where he says something to his mama, she responds "That's right Earl". It was so funny it was cool!!!
Ahhhh Dave forgot to say “Thank you Marvin”. Lol
I remember watching channel 13 news sitting on the floor as a kids. Yep sitting on the floor because back then we sat on the floor and adults sat on the couch. I wasn’t a bad thing we liked sitting & laying on the floor.
That Whataburger still looks good 39 years later.
I didn't like it back then, it taste better now.
I remember those Whataburger commercials with Mel Tillis. My childhood.
Kids ask what was it like growing up in the 1980’s... it was like this 😁
That’s the Houston I remember and grew up in. Very different from today’s Houston. I don’t recognize Houston anymore. Lived away since 1990
Lived in Houston since the very early 1950’s. We moved in to a neighborhood in 52’, open the garage door, and never closed it until we moved out of that house until 1970. South Park area.
Interesting with the music: Tar Sequence on the front end and MCTYW on the back end. Usually, in this time period, it was one or the other but not both.
Oh gosh, I remember the million dollar movie
16:55-- love that old Houston Post commercial, where you could get home delivery of that defunct Bayou City paper; if I were living there then and had the money, I'd definitely subscribe.
my right ear loved this video
Turn on mono audio.
30 years later or more..lol were still visiting these issues
This brings back good memories being a 10 year old kid back in 1980! This was the only channel my parents watched and I still watch 13 as of today! That high tech weather map 😂 Lots of things has changed in Houston. It doesn’t feel the same with all the out of town folks and a lot of foreigners here!
Was ❤class of 1980 the class of. 1980 the class of 1980 rules rock 1980 had best music. Cars wanna re ❤live my senior year
Was class of 1980 the class of 1980 rules. Rocked. The. Best 80s class 1980 had best music. Cars. Wanna. Relive. My senior year.
Spring school use to be one of the safest. Look at it now.
2:21 LOL, why is he standing on that? XD
If you look close,you can see the glue holding on Dave's hairpiece.
Marvin Zindler, EYEWITNESS NEWS!!! A bygone era in TV news. Too bad.
I grew up with him being a part of my everyday life. Slime in the ice machine
Dave Ward looked like he was late 20s or early 30s back then...lol.
Actually, he was in his early 40s; depending on when this aired, he may have been 40, or even 41 (my guess is more 41, given his 5/6/1939 birthday).
I was just over 1 year old when this was broadcasted. This is why the nets exist.
It is aazing how far we have come in predicting weather, yet we still keep believing we can control it.
This was back when 65° for a low was normal in Houston for the middle of May. Now 65° is probably as rare as 50° then.
I miss Marvin Zindler, Slime in the ice machine. It seems like news casters talked faster at times than modern ones.
I was 4 years old & I remember the desegregation when I was in 1st & 2nd grade
In 40 years weather technology has come a long way.Remember ol' Ed "cocaine" Brandon.
Known to have a constant cold for 15 years!!!
I was very glad he got clean though.
Yep, he was framed by a young b1ack male he was messing around with. There were home movies that he was threatening to release.
@@thomasmorrison5611 And also that his co-anchors welcomed him back with open arms, and helped him stay clean.
What a nostalgic slice of heaven
Geez...I was 4 yrs old
Alf Humphreys at 10:55, in the men's warehouse ad. Before he did My Bloody Valentine in '81, and Funeral Home in '82. RIP Alf✌️
I was just a born baby back in 1980 👶 😊.
This is around the time that Mt. St. Helens blew.
@LilZebra yes, you’re correct. Mt. St. Helens erupted on Sunday May 13, 1980. I was in 7th grade.
@@russell_szabados I was also in 7th grade and went to mt st hellen and collected ashes.
I sure remember these years in the Houston area and era!
Dave Ward now 81 and retired. Bob Allen died 2016, age 70, from cancer. interesting news stories. not much has changed -still killing each other. June 01, 2020.
I had no idea Bob Allen died
Marvin Zindler was a real trouper, working right up to the bitter end, even doing his last reports from his hospital bed. RIP Marvin.
Where is Marvin Zindler when you need him 😢
Haha the Weather graphics Lol
"Bellaire Bong Team" good one.
Can't hear many people spraking with Houston accents like this anymore.
Those were some really bad kids!!!!!!!!!!
I remember the 3 O'clock Million Dollar Movie weekday afternoons at 3
I never knew Ken Stabler played for the Oilers. I thought he spent his whole career with Oakland. He ended his career in 1984 with the New Orleans Saints.
Ken Had his own soft drink, Snake Venom i got a empty can from back in the day
@@jamesconn1104 Never heard of that, but I did know his nickname was "Snake."
1980, 1981
Its funny how Dave is reading the news off of paper notes cuz hes seen to keep looking down tiwards the desk, nowadays the script is right on or next to the camera.
Three days before the Mount Saint Helens eruption.
I'm here for the commercials...
Is Charles Harrison living or passed away
The 3 Legends!
That Capital National Bank logo at the beginning looks almost like South Dakota Public Broadcasting’s at the time.
Marvin Zindler…….. awesome
Poor fitting toupee on Marvin
Rip Marvin & Dave
-🤟
SS baby Moses Dave is still alive.
@@jordanthomas7304 you're right. thank you. dont know where i got that from. 🕊️
@@ssbabymoses4758 It's Allen and Brandon who are the ones who are gone, besides Zindler.
It's weird how 1980 still felt like the 70s. It didn't became 80s 80s until MTV, so around 1981.
Honestly I think the 80s didn’t gain their identity till around ‘83-‘84…..most of the time the beginning of a new decade really is a carry-over of the previous decade. It takes time.
@@rwall3450 Eh, at least 1982. You have '82 movies like Fast Times and The Last American Virgin which definitely feels 80s.
Did Charlie Harrison pass away
9:27 this Marvin Zindler is very much my type of comedy anchor
Canned
Drinks had the smallest wide tab
Houston has been building like nuts
Keep em coming!!
Katy was not
built out yet until recently
Earl Campbell you are awesome today
I was 7 years old!
Me too !! I'd give anything to go back
Can someone do the research and compare to these schools today
Dave ward we miss you
13:02 like a scene from dazed and confused
It’s obvious there has been disgusting segregation throughout Houston’s history. Areas that ever integrated eventually went back to segregated. Riverside Terrace, and now Midtown.
0:12 Luv ya, Blue
Sure do miss those super cost cutters
The Supreme Court caused this strife.
those guys have the worst wigs in the history of tv news..
This is what you call cap "all money in"
Is Earl (Campbell) still alive?....
Yes. Living in Tyler.
I remember the 10:30 movie!
Weingartens was best store
The Houston i remember
Ktrk was awesome with David ward
Marvin zindler was 59 years old in 1980
25:37.
Was getting to graduate.
Marvin zindler is a legend
Bum Phillips
Was
Good
Did anyone else find it interesting that Norman Wells the owner of a weight loss center was fat himself?
And I look like Bob Keeshan. (Captain Kangaroo).
The cans were cheaper
I reckon Norman Wells when seeing Marvin Zindler coming he should have told Marvin we've already changed our tactics to weight reduction.
Yes Marvin, from now on its just coffee enemas all the way!!!
Tim melton joined ktrk tv a
Year later
