Summary[edit]

Description
English: Advertisement printed in the Los Angeles Times on October 19, 1976, promoting the upcoming October–January episodes of the new PBS anthology television series Visions. The text of the advertisement reads as follows:

"We had visions of producing a sort of off-Broadway television..."
Barbara Schultz
Artistic director of Visions
Produced at KCET-Los Angeles
For the Public Broadcasting Service


            When you tune in to the Visions series this fall on your PBS station, don't expect the expected—the made-for-TV movies or the BBC revisited.


            Expect of Visions an innovative, personal brand of theatre. Visions was conceived as drama that would give young American writers an opportunity to be heard on television and to develop their talents. It's drama that challenges big-time television the way off-Broadway challenges the Broadway stage.


            Each of the Visions productions is unique, the work of a different playwright. They don't look alike or sound alike. What ties them together is that they speak openly and with a new voice about the American experience.

'Visions premieres October 21st with 'Two Brothers,' by Conrad Bromberg. A young doctor's battle against his own mental illness, and the desperate efforts of his older brother to help him.

Visions – It's off-Broadway television.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain This advertisement (or image from an advertisement) is in the public domain because it was published in a collective work (such as a periodical issue) in the United States between 1929 and 1977 and without a copyright notice specific to the advertisement. Unless its author has been dead for several years, it is copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties. See this page for further explanation.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
