Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Theatrical Release

Clipped from the Miami Herald late in 1979. Yes, the first few episodes of the new TV show were edited together and released theatrically, in order to launch the series. Believe it or not!

I actually saw the theatrical release of this. I'm not sure if I saw the Battlestar Galactica theatrical release or not, but I'm sure I saw Buck Rogers.

Sorry for commenting all over your blog today. Obviously that's what I'm doing instead of going to the movies ;)

Welcome to my vintage newspaper movie ad blog!

When I was younger I clipped out the ads of the movies I wanted to go see and put them in a scrapbook. I also enjoyed hunting through old newspapers I would find here and there, and saving the ads from those as well. Some that I've gleaned from relative's old closets and attics go back to the 50's!

Rather than let them sit there in the old notebook I saved them in, I decided I'd share them with you. Every single entry on this blog page are from actual newspaper clippings that I own and have scanned in, so click on any image to view biggie size.

Although this blog will mostly feature nostalgic vintage newspaper movie ads, I'll also throw in an occasional newspaper article about the movie that I found, as well as ads and items from various TV guides about movies and shows that I liked. And who knows what else? That dog-eared 37-year-old notebook is packed with goodies. Hopefully "Held Over!" will be fun to visit and will reawaken some of your own memories!
