I also had WPIX, got the glasses, and had the same experience. I recall there were bits at the commercial breaks that did a better job of showing 3D effects than the reprocessed movie. I remember a pool cue (?) coming out of the screen and being impressive. But the movie was boring. Didn't they flash something on the screen that said "Put on your 3D glasses NOW"?

I had a somewhat similar experience but I don't remember the year. I think we had to get glasses at a supermarket and it was my first time seeing Creature from the Black Lagoon. I definiltey remember it being in the summer because the AC was on and we made popcorn.
