I mentioned this briefly last week, and today saw the following in-depth post from Ohio Media Watch, and thought it was worth sharing with you all:

Cincinnati.com has brought back a 2007 “Then and Now” video that compares the shots featured in the show’s 1978 opening, with what they’d have looked like in modern times. It’s well worth a view.
P.S. – While talking about the pending anniversary, my friend Rebecca and I watched bits and pieces of the pilot, courtesy of Hulu. Here it is for your own personal viewing pleasure.
