"SEE THE PROS"
(Week 2 and Week 3)
"See The Pros" is a vintage NFL football show, made for television, which first aired in time for Week #2 of the 1958 NFL season. Hosted by former football great Glenn Davis, the show gives a preview of the upcoming NFL games of the week, players to watch for, and a special interview with a player on the field and in uniform. The show is sponsored by Zerex antifreeze and even contains the original Zerex antifreeze TV commercials. In addition, "Miss Antifreeze" (Dodie Marshall) is part of each show, which also features a special "Mystery Guest"! Here are the first two weeks of the show, along with a description of the contents:
