YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE! reflects on the origins of THE NFL TODAY’s half-century of studio coverage, featuring interviews with the only surviving early cast members Brent Musburger and Jayne Kennedy, as well as current TV personalities including Jim Nantz, Nate Burleson and Gayle King. Featuring a virtual re-creation of the iconic NFL TODAY set from 1985 and never-before-seen archival footage, YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE! uses innovative technology to take viewers back in time. Debuting in 1975 and hosted by Musburger with Phyllis George and Irv Cross – and eventually Jimmy “the Greek” Snyder and Kennedy, THE NFL TODAY was the first live studio show that took viewers across the entire country, previewing and highlighting every game in the NFL. It was also the most diverse show of its time as the first studio show with a Black cast member and a female cast member. THE NFL TODAY quickly became the prototype for which modern studio shows are based.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
