      Lead in was best guessed at "NBC Special Report Disclaimer Title At The Movies" covers a lot of the themes as shown in #SCTVNetwork90NBC "CCCP1" episode. Gene Levy playing Julius Caesar "We're being taken over by Iranian amateurs" Other actors on set "Bobby, they are Russians" Gene: "Russians, that's even worse.." and also the Godfather type Guy Cabbalero "Network War" spot on❤❤❤❤

      His role on here sounds similar to what Gabe Pressman would do on occasion after his 1980 return to WNBC after eight years at WNEW-TV.
