In a nearly 30-minute behind the scenes look of ABC's Eyewitness News in the 1970s, we get cameos that range from Burt Reynolds to a young loose cannon reporter named Geraldo Rivera. While more professional than the broadcast news team of Anchorman, this crack team does kind of resemble Brian Fantana & Co.
We also see a 1973 New York City in the footage, which is described as being dangerous—these were the Fear City days, and one of the city's toughest decades. The narrator notes:
"The crew leaves the plain, inconspicuous ABC building for their unmarked car. In this tough city, identification is an open invitation for danger. Once a clearly marked ABC car was firebombed."
