I've discovered a fantastic research resource for the Jo book: the Vanderbilt Television News Archive, which gives detailed rundowns of network evening news broadcasts from 1968 on, including the commercials. So when Jo sits down to watch the news on December 30, 1975, I can even mention that she sees a commercial for Geritol or Clorets!

Headless Man: Norman Parker
I busted up laughing. Then I looked up the guy, and he has a hefty imdb.com resume, including a bit part as a "Dr. Valenti" on Ryan's Hope in 1976, various other soaps and a lot of nighttime TV. But his first role? "Figure in vision" on Dark Shadows! Heeeeeee.
