Incidentally, when viewing a copy of the original broadcast, I noticed that most of the commercials were promos for other ABC shows. That would support the history that claims sponsors were afraid to be connected with the series because of the subject matter and for fear it would fail. I was also taken back to my childhood when I saw the Budweiser horses in the snow.
