what a line up of movies for a week! every afternoon at four PM. I would have been in front of the TV every day this week, I can assure you of that. one of the really interesting things here is the "Bionic Monster" title. I wonder what actually came up for the title when it was shown.
this is from San Diego, as the call letters are for a local channel. in Colorado they did these movies on Channel 4, which was the local NBC affiliate at the time. I have the actual pages for these movies, and another week's worth, which I will post in due time, you'll just have to keep looking!
I only remember one of these Japanese monster weeks, and I remember only two of the movies- "The X From Outer Space" and "Terror Of MechaGodzilla" were shown. there had to be three more, but those are lost to the sands of time.
I remember those because it was the first time I had seen either of those movies.
I also remember a Harryhausen week, as I think they aired "Mysterious Island" and I had to miss it for basketball practice. so this was the late 70s or maybe early 1980.
I wonder when the practice of themed movie weeks died out. I really didn't pay much attention to the other types (probably cops and robbers, westerns etc) though everyone always mentions that the Planet of the Apes movies were usually show. I don't remember seeing those, either.
