Early memories of TV where you can't identify the program
roadman:
Anybody here have early memories of watching TV where they can remember details of scenes, but can't recall the name of the program?
For many years, I would recall watching a TV program where a suspension bridge collapsed in a rainstorm and they showed the debris piled up on the riverbed, as well as a police roadblock stopping people from trying to get to the bridge.
Didn't figure out the title of the program until about five years ago. A friend sent me a YouTube link called 'Thunderbirds Greatest Machines.' Watching the clips of the Martian Space Probe, I was finally able to identify the scenes I remembered as being from the Thunderbirds episode Day of Disaster (which I have since purchased on DVD).

I remember watching a TV show where they killed some guy in an action scene. They end up running some sort of machine over the body which gradually vaporizes it. I want to say that was two?...it freaked me out and I can’t for the life of me remember what I was watching.
roadman65:
I remember watching a program as a small child that was a sitcom. Its opening sequence had an escalator in the house that the family lived in.

I remember a TV movie in the late '70s that kept showing an outline of the state of Minnesota at every commercial break.
Also, I remember being horrified when my parents were watching some serious news-type program that showed a child dying. The reporter said the child "will never be seen again."
I remember a show later that had a montage of commercial parodies where people kept getting pies in the face.

There was an early-80s sitcom called Silver Spoons, with a pre-teen boy living in a filthy-rich household. I don't remember an escalator, though. Perhaps that was an occasional establishing shot.
