Hot Hero Sandwich Project Archives: TV Guide Covers

by G. Jack Urso

 

In researching and creating the first-ever episode guide for Hot Hero Sandwich, I acquired TV Guides covering the weeks Hot Hero Sandwich aired. While Hot Hero Sandwich wasn’t featured on any TV Guide covers during its run, it did have a feature story written up about why the show didn’t catch on with viewers in the Mar. 29-Apr. 4, 1980, issue (see Aeolus 13 Umbra: Hot Hero Sandwich: The Late 70s TV Teen Scene). A look at the covers reveals what was percolating to the top of American pop culture between Nov. 10, 1979 and Jan. 26, 1980, the dates of the original run of the series, and the Mar. 29-Apr. 4, 1980 issue.

                 Nov. 10-16, 1979                       Nov. 17-23, 1979                     Nov. 24-30, 1979

                 Dec. 1-7, 1979                           Dec. 8-14, 1979                        Dec. 15-21, 1979

                 Dec. 22-28, 1979              Dec. 29, 1979-Jan. 4, 1980                Jan. 5-11, 1979

        

                 Jan. 12-18, 1979                       Jan. 19-25, 1979                  Jan. 26-Feb. 1, 1979
