Subject: Looking for Mr Goodbar

Written By: mrmuffer69 on 07/08/09 at 4:07 pm

I was wondering if anyone had tv guides from 1978-1979 and could tell me what date that the movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar aired. I am pretty sure it was on ABC and on a Sunday night. I don't think that is was as late as the 1980's but I could be wrong. I am pretty sure it was sometime in 1978-1979 since the theatrical release was in 1977.

Here in the UK, we have huge archive libraries for newspapers etc. Have you ask at your central library?

On television?
To be honest I don't believe it would have made it to commercial television by '78-'79.
That's way too soon and that may have been a year or two before cable television got off the ground.

I recall it first showing up on television (and yes I think it was a late Sunday night) in 1985 or 1986.
As for the movie itself, I never cared for it, not the kind of movie I'm interested in,
but I did know someone at the time who did, not sure why she did,
and I remember a Howard Jones song being out at the time when it made it to television.

Again, that's my guess.

True, for back in the late 70's and early 80's, here in the UK there was back then a 5 year wiat for broadcast on tv.

Saw the movie on TV, late night, very early 80's I imagine.
Don't recall if it aired back in 78 or so, prime time.
If it did, must have had some (sex) scenes cut out back then.
