Eyes of Texas makes a comeback on KPRC

Mike McDaniel of the Chron reports that KPRC Channel 2 is bringing back the Eyes of Texas:
The Eyes of Texas, which ran from 1969 to 1999, is being revived.

The one-time, half-hour weekly series will become an hourlong quarterly and will run in prime time beginning 7 p.m. Saturday on Channel 2. Dominique Sachse will host.

The series, retitled Best of the Eyes of Texas, boasts features about places and people all around the state. Many segments will come from the old series, but there will be new stories, too.

I used to watch this show as a kid back in the days when Ron Stone was King. Can glam girl Dominique fill his shoes? Definitely a different interpretation of the show.

I didn't realize it aired till 1999.

It's safe to say that there were two shows like this in Texas. The Eyes of Texas from KPRC and the Hobby Family ruled the south and Texas Country Reporter from WFAA (I think) ruled the north.

Which is better, I don't know.

One thing for sure, that would be a fun show to work on. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
