Image:Harry Nilsson The Point.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I know that the first broadcast was on 2 February 1971, but what were the dates of the second and third broadcasts?

Oh, and FYI, a commercial for the first broadcast appeared during ABC Evening News on Monday, 1 February 1971 at 5:34:10 and ran for 1 minute. That's according to the Vanderbilt Television News Archive (http://openweb.tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/1971-2/) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.12.77 (talk) 23:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

I don’t have the details, but the year before Dolenz & Jones were in The Point! at the Mermaid, there was another production with Wayne Sleep as Oblio.

I piped "point" to Point (geometry), which makes the salient point that such do not have volume, area, length, or any other higher-dimensional analogue. There are no better choices currently at the disambiguation page for point. --Pawyilee (talk) 08:55, 16 October 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Consider the change with due regard for Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. --Pawyilee (talk) 09:02, 16 October 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

"The film version of The Point! first aired February 2, 1971,[3] at 7:30pm on the ABC television network as an ABC Movie of the Week—the first animated special to receive a prime time broadcast in the U.S.[3]"

I don't believe that this is correct. For one example, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was broadcast in prime time on December 9, 1965, pre-empting "The Munsters" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Charlie_Brown_Christmas) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timbob58 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 14 November 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

It sounded a bit funny to me too, although Charlie Brown didn't occur to me and neither did any other specific example....Well, I just checked the Brown Wikipedia article and it calls that the first animated prime-time TV special based on Peanuts. I'm deleting the claim for The Point. TheScotch (talk) 10:04, 3 March 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Don't know if this is relevant, but....

The song "Me and My Arrow" got a lot of radio play in the late 1970's, and was used as an advertising jingle for the Plymouth Arrow (a rebadged Mitsubishi).

Not much mention of the album or how that song was popular.

On the Album, who does the narration portions? Is it Nilsson himself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.188.142.72 (talk) 01:32, 9 February 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

The Chrissy Roberts that the page links to is a woman's basketball coach born in 1975. The play was in 1977. Could someone please correct link. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.92.203.23 (talk) 03:43, 6 July 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

This brief section contains two separate passages of the production in London featuring Davy Jones and Mickey Dolenz. Things could probably be consolidated. PurpleChez (talk) 20:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC) [reply ]
