   That's one of the things I remember, the depth of the reporting. Used to watch   
   it with my parents back in the early eighties and they seemed to work really   
   hard at going all in on a story.   
      
   When I mentioned it had been a few years since I had seen it I guess I meant a   
   few decades.
