Description
Program Description
Firecrackers, lion dancers, dragons and beauty queens were all part of the 1985 Chinese New Year's Parade. The live telecast of this annual San Francisco celebration through the streets of Chinatown, brought viewers the excitement and color of the city's most important parade. Pre-produced segments peppered the live coverage with informative, entertaining and sometimes irreverent pieces, highlighting the tradition and ceremony involved in welcoming the New Year in Chinatown. Attempting to harmonize this very live event were four commentators -- Felicia Lowe and Davie Louie at the booth position, Roberta Wong in front of the reviewing stand, and Mal Sharpe, San Francisco's Man in the Street-- amidst the crowd estimated at 500,000.
