Even more, CBS is doing a retooling of one of their classic movie opens from 1978-1987, which for kids of the 80's like me...is potential joy.
In fact..here it is as it was back in the day...Special Movie Presentation in this case.
And here is some trivia...the company behind that segment is R/GA formerly R/Greenberg Associates, founded in 1977, by brothers, Richard and Robert Greenberg. They also did titles for many feature films, including one film we all know well.
It also turns out this will include other big hit films as well...
May 10 - Forrest Gump (8:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)
May 17 - Mission: Impossible (8:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)
May 24 - Titanic (7:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)
May 31 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (8:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)
Note...these are all Paramount films...CBS as it is a part of Viacom, which is a part of Paramount.
Feature films have not been seen on TV in over 15 years. By the way, the two Superman films and Helen Slater's Supergirl, were on ABC. To turn it to my area, the films, including Superman III and IV (the clunker of the bunch) were on...Supergirl's current home WPIX channel 11 in their pre-WB and CW days.
With people staying home and maybe even some of them telling cable to hit the road, this is CBS looking at the trends...albeit a couple of years into cord cutting.
