At the end of the program, after Cronkite summarized what happened in the preceding event, he reminded viewers, "What sort of day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times... all things are as they were then, except you were there." After a 14 year gap the series was seen again on Saturday mornings as a videotaped color program from 1971 to 1972. 14 new episodes were produced, aired on Saturday afternoons from 12:30pm to 1:00pm. The format of the revival was basically the same as the original versions. These programs were also hosted by Cronkite. Both series were produced by CBS News. An unusual Public Affairs series, YOU ARE THERE began in 1947 as a radio show (it was originally titled CBS was There). Each week a well-known historical event was recreated, and the leading figures in each drama were interviewed by CBS news correspondents (the correspondents were always in modern-day dress, regardless of the setting of the story). The television version ran from 1953-1957 on Sunday afternoons, and was revived in 1971 as a Saturday-afternoon show, aimed principally at children. Walter Cronkite was the chief correspondent on both TV versions. Many contemporary CBS NEWS correspondents would appear in each broadcast for the revival series. Paul Newman guest-starred on one program as Nathan Hale (30 August 1953) and the 1971 premiere " The Mystery of Amelia Earhart" featured Geraldine Brooks and Richard Dreyfus. In today's repeat episode: "The Mystery of Amelia Earhart." Chronicles events in the mysterious disappearance of the aviatrix on a July 2nd 1937 flight across the Pacific.
