My thanks to romelovesdan for providing me the DVD files used for this project. I've enhanced the broadcast recording of the 1978 Week 6 Vikings at Seahawks game. The game was on two separate discs, 1st and 2nd halves. I ran both through Topaz to denoise, sharpen and double the framerate, achieving a very nice cleanup. I then took those enhancements and applied color-correction in Da Vinci Resolve, to absolutely STUNNING results. You can see the original shots and post enhancement/color here -- imgbox.com/g/fMFVtIwxH2 -- VERY impressed with this one.

The NFL at its absolute peak, IMO. It’s never reached this level again … particularly since the 21st century began. I miss it.

This Pete Rose guy sure is something. He's gonna be in the Hall of Fame one day!

Man, I'm 62 and I really appreciate this awesome blast from the past..... Makes me really happy.... Thanks so much !!!!

I remember watching a Seahawks game as a kid, and my Dad kept asking "Why do they call him "A Friend Herrera?" "Why are they such close friends?"

Just seeing Jayne Kennedy 1978 version is wonderful.

For 45 year old video, the quality is quite remarkable. Thanks for posting.

I know I'm late to the party, but thanks for leaving in the ads...great memories from a great era👍🏾

It was great seeing Fran Tarkenton do his thing again, even at age 38 he was still a master of spreading the ball around and creating opportunities for other plays. And he still could even scramble a little bit!

I AM 77 YEARS OLD. SUCH HEARTBREAKING LOSSES IS THE NORM WITH MY BELOVED VIKINGS. WE ARE USED TO IT BUT SKOL!

I was surprised to find Jim Brown in the booth on this one. Never knew he did broadcast games. RIP.

This was/is an incredible looking game. I love the fact that the NFL Today was included as were the commercials. This brings back so many wonderful childhood memories of watching football in the 70's. Thank you for this. I can't express how much I appreciate your efforts and your dedication. I was recently diagnosed with emphysema and heart disease. So these classic games bring me back to a more simple time, a happier time, and a more healthy time. God Bless you sir. 🙏 You definitely got a subscriber here.

Born and raised in Seattle, I vaguely remember this game, I was 8 years old. Looking back, Zorn was a very athletic quarterback which was pretty rare during that period. His talents are more coveted today. Zorn was ahead of his time.

This was the year I started watching the Vikings. I was 8. I gave them 20 years of being a fan and gave up on them after they choked away the NFC Championship against the Falcons, the game known locally as "The Take a Knee Game" or "The Tragedy of the Crying Blondes" (the paper caught a picture of three hot girls weeping). It took a few years to really divorce myself from them, but now, 45 years later, I still watch football but I just want to watch a good game. But finding games like this on KZfaq is very nostalgic. I remember all the names and the stories.

Picture quality is amazing. I remember in '77 getting the plastic Seahawks helmet in the supermarket vending machine !!! I thought it was the greatest logo ever.

Future Seahawks radio play-by-play announcer Steve Raible getting lots of screen time early on in this game. Miss him on KIRO-7 TV.

My absolute favorite football pregame show ever. I was always glued to the T.V. on Sunday mornings watching CBS.

As someone who LOVES old sports footage... this is incredible. Great upload and thank you!!!

OMG - complete with commercials, a baby-face Brent Musberger, Pat Summerall WITHOUT John Madden, a movie with Warren Beaty I've never heard of, Jimmy the Greek, and LIVE updates from around the League!!! This is FANTASTIC. I would have been 4 - 😶😶.

Thanks for the game, probably a little older than the target audience being born in 89 but it's surprisingly very hard to find any of the old NFL games (not sure why the NFL doesn't release them as they would make a fortune) let alone one with such great quality this is amazing to look at, was a treat to watch, thanks again.

incredible enhancement for a 1978 tv broadcast better than getting in a time machine and watching it on a curtis mathis tv in 1978.

OMG! I love the Kingdome era, these uniforms, the dome! I love the commercials being left in here too to give us the time machine feeling.

Another Excellent restoration Sir 👌.....You are what John Facenda's voice was to NFL Films...You just get it man...

I miss football looking like this.

You’re the man, Dave. Thanks for all you do. I feel like a kid again watching these games and commercials

Lindsey Nelson’s jacket at 8:41 is the most 70’s thing I’ve seen today.

This is a beautiful restoration job of this game. It's like master video-level quality, and it's like as if HD was around in 1978.

The enhanced version of this game from 1978 makes this game look like it’s from the 90s. So cool!

Ive been a Seahawk fan since 1982 I was 5 year's old back in 1978 Go Hawks ! ! btw it's interesting watching all of these commercials going back in time 45 year's 👍👍

I miss this era.

Excellent job on the picture quality. This is clearer than watching live on TV back then!

Vin Scully, was a great voice in sports. Being a football fan over other sports, Vin calling the 1981 NFC title game between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers with the words of “The Catch”. I quote “It’s a madhouse at Candlestick!”

You could just feel how nervous the state farm agent was having to read off the script, while being recorded. It's even funnier when they had to include a voice-over while he's still talking.

So great. Puts me right back in the living room with pops. Thanks so much🔥🔥🔥

Jesus, the clarity is unbelievable. 🙂

That Colt 45 commercial was pure gold!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

GREAT VIDEO QUALITY. THANKS. I was a Jim Zorn fan. Saw Heaven Can Wait in theaters. Everyone loved it. Thanks for the NFL today show and commercials. For a minute I thought I was in the happy past. Real football.

I was 9 when this was televised... I remember the... you can call me Ray... commercials for Natural Light... if only i could go back for one Sunday afternoon. So many memories.

This is so cool. Thanks for putting these up. It’s literally like going into a Time Machine.

I miss this NFL broadcast. This was my whole childhood.

Lasorda looked 65 years old in 1978. It makes it magical that he lived a long, full life well into our modern era.

The quality of the video is just fantastic! It's also great to hear Vin Scully!

The great old days of the League!

Absolutely stunning quality here! My family's TV in 1978 never looked half this good.

That turf looks like green painted concrete. It's amazing that they survived multiole games on that.

A very nice trifecta in Scully, Allen, and Brown. Definitely enjoyed this broadcast with 3 very knowledgeable people. Love those old school Seahawk uniforms, need to bring them back.

Its crazy how we've perfected pregames and sports talk shows. I'd love to see todays game shot like this, graphics and all.

Man ! What memories . Great memories . Jane Kennedy ! Wow ! Brent , Irv. Cross . Even the commercials .

Jimmy the Greek! 😆 I remember these broadcasts growing up like I was glued to the TV. Very nostalgic. Thanks!!

Another great job, Dave! I love the inclusion of the pregame coverage of the MLB playoffs and the Irv Cross piece on the Packers. Not only was a second-half collapse coming that season, but it would be another 15 years before the Pack made the playoffs in a non-strike year.

I played high school football with Jim Zorn at Gahr High in Cerritos. Nice to see the old videos.

Why is the kicker not warming up, he's just sitting there biting his nails... 🤣. This was a blast to watch and brings back lots of memories of 70s football. Thanks for uploading.

First, unbelievable picture quality! Second, thanks for not spoiling who won this game because I watched with intense interest in this entertaining game. What a game it was.

Those Seattle uniforms are spectacular.

thanks for doing this, sometimes you watch old film and the poor quality kind of attributes to the game seeming so different. But watching it in this quality you realize its not that much different, game has not changed much. At least compared to a sport like baskbetball

ok this is crazy.. I love it

Lovely, just a pleasure to watch the old NFL.

Crazy to see the commercials from that time and how much things stay the same even with all the change over the last 45yrs. I wasn’t even born for another 10YRs yet from this game

There was a saying in Seattle back in this day, "Efren in need is a friend indeed."

These are great......thanks so much for the work that goes into bringing these back to this quality....

Thanks for this. I was at this game! I was 18. What a celebration when Efren made the kick.The best Seahawk game I ever went to.

I can't express enough that adding the NFL Today and pregame shows to these games are what makes them special. Please keep it up.

I loved seeing a young Rick Moranis in that Wang computer commercial. I never would have caught that without this amazing upgrade. Thank you for all the amazing work you’ve done here. And Jayne Kennedy never looked better!!!! 😍

Another great restoration. And these were the Seahawks' best uniforms ever. They desperately need to return to these.

beautiful uniform colors & combinations

Of all the Hawks variations of throwbacks these are my favorite. I like how the facemask matches the helmets and the stripes on the sleeves were symmetrical and there was no logo on the sleeve to make it look gaudy. This is such a clean and classy look.

Would love remastered 90's NFL, NBA if possible, what a lovely channel!

Tommy Lasorda, Brent Musburger, Jimmy the Greek, Pete Rose, Jim Brown, Fran Tarkenton, and Loni Anderson and Warren Beatty. Names from my childhood. It's amazing that some of these people are still alive. (This is one year before John Madden become a commentator.) Also funny to see that this was back when OJ Simpson was allowed to do commercials, at 46:46

How many times did we have to hear "the Pack is back" in the 70's and it was the 90's before they actually came back!

Sports news, pre-ESPN. And love that background replay music, always have, provided by NFL films. And Musberger saying,"You are watching LIVE, from Lambeau Field!"

Thanks for this. It’s great to see those first Seahawks teams finding their rhythm.

Looks fantastic! Thank you for your dedication to fans of this once great game! Tarkenton in his last year against the coming Seattle team led by Jim Zorn, Steve Largent, and Sherman Smith. Great to see Ahmad Rashad, Sammy White, Matt Blair, Bobby Bryant, Efren Herrera, Dave Simms, Sam McCullum, etc "young again" and playing their hearts out for the fans.

I was 9 yrs old, I only remember how good Jim Zorn was for the Seahawks, they got better every season seems like and we’re in the championship game with the raiders few seasons later but lost

Wow, never have a seen a Seahawks game from the 70's on TV or here in such good of a restored picture

Great game and clarity! This was the NFL that I grew up with, brings back some great memories. Jim Brown with the short sleeve leisure suit! I have never seen one before lol. Wild. Thanks for posting!

So few commercials. You could actually enjoy the flow of the game.

Excellent quality. especially for being 45 years old. I also liked watching the pregame with Brent, Jayne and Irv Cross. Great memories from when I was a "tweener". Keep up the good work.

I’ve never seen a game of any Vikings team before the 80s. This is amazing

Amazing footage, thank you for posting! Instant sub

great looking little gem of a video! fun to see what life was like back then. thnx!

Nice restoration of the game and it was very entertaining. Glad to see that the Seahawks won since I was a fan of Jim Zorn and Steve Largent.

Thanks for uploading these old classics.

I was at that game when I was 14. It was fun!!!

I thought those were really sweet Seahawks uniforms. IMO, much better than what they have now.

Incredible job! Thank you!

I love this just for the commercials you can tell the 80s where coming and some where still hard intrenched in the 70s fashion

Man, this is fantastic and beautiful!

I was so young that I don't remember if I was at this game or not, but during this period I saw a lot of games at the King Dome with my dad. Jim Zorn and Steve Largent were the big names then, but my favorite was a special teams guy named Rufus Crawford whose name is no doubt lost to time. My dad would watch all the games on TV but we wouldn't watch with him because he became semi-volatile when the Seahawks lost, and they lost a lot.

Was about 2 months old, this is awesome to see.

Beautiful job with restoration!!!!

Wowwww what quality thank you

This is truly amazing, i would love to do this with my old home movies and a ton of shows on vhs

Fantastic quality image. Thank you.

Enjoying clean cuts of classic promos (WKRP) and commercials (You can call me Ray). and Jimmy the Greek-Dutch Masters Thank you.

Video quality is awesome, especially considering how old this is! Nice work Dave!

It’s amazing how we take for granted having the score on the screen at almost all times now… I remember being a kid in the early ‘80s and if you just switched to the other game, it could be 10 minutes before you saw the score… frustrating!

I enjoy watching old commercials :)

In short yardage situations David Sims was automatic money; that season he led the NFL in rushing touchdowns. A tragic shame his career was cut short the next season.

This looks absolutely SUPERB. Fine work. That Muriel cigar ad is bonkers to see, though! I was born in 1984, so by the time I remember television advertising, tobacco ads had already been outlawed.

This looks amazing! Thanks!
