This may be a little OT but it is still on 3D TV. Anybody remember when they tried 3D TV in the early 1980’s, 1981 to 1983, where they used the old red/blue glasses? I remember here in Pittsburgh, Channel 11 (WPXI) aired a few of those 3D movies. Did they do this in other cities? I remember watching them on our 1971 Zenith Chromacolor (I still have it), it worked a little as long as I had the convergence adjusted right. It was a bit better on the 1982 Zenith that I have now but not spectacular. IIRC, they showed “Creature From the Black Lagoon.”

Here in the Boston area we had the summer of “Gorilla at Large in 3D” around 1980 or so.

This movie was super hyped for 2 months through our local UHF indi channel 56.
All the Convenience Stores were giving out free glasses.

FINALLY the BIG night arrived!!!!

it sucked, the 3d sucked, the movie sucked.
oh well....
