When people mention 1970's television, I imagine television that's full of warm brown and orange tones. Think: All in the Family, The Jeffersons, The Partridge Family. Shag orange carpeting should be required. Bell-bottoms optional.
But here's Walter Cronkite hosting an edition of the CBS Evening News on November 13, 1972, which, based on film quality, looks pulled from a 1938 time capsule.
Why does it matter? Because it's about Cuero, TX, and their annual Turkey Trot, as told by Charles Kuralt.
Let's revisit Thanksgiving during a simpler time, when watching television made you feel like you had cataracts.
