It was also a big day for radio, with 7 of Melbourne’s 8 radio stations presenting some level of coverage (3LO was the odd one out, as ABC was already represented via 3AR. But 3LO (and ABV2) did have a live broadcast of Prince Philip’s arrival into Melbourne and the civic reception earlier in the day before the Opening Ceremony.

Something else we will probably never see on TV again, just put it in the pile with
Hey Dad!
The Cosby Show
A Different World(or at least not screen episodes with Cosby in it)
Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids
I Spy
Cosby
Kids Say The Darndest Things
I Spy
Roeannne
how many movies starring Bill Cosby would be showing on TV now anyway, regardless of anything else
I think for many of us Hey Dad! reruns would have been cringeworthy even without knowing what was happening in real life. It stopped being run on TV years before we knew anything.
Kingswood Country has been released on DVD, so people can still view it. Not sure the link between Kingswood Country and (having had to google) a double murder-suicide?
I have a vague memory of something called “Big News” on WIN-4 from my early childhood but don’t recall what it consisted of. Was it a composite local/national bulletin? I only remember Seven National News being broadcast on WIN-4 following the local news during the 1970s.
