"Ripley's Believe It Or Not!" TV show on an ordinary TV with no glasses.
Two people tossing a Frisbee, apparently in 3-D.  I didn't tape it, but I
think that it worked by subtly shifting the video camera repeatedly from
left to right and back (perhaps coordinated with swiveling it slightly).  If
the analysis is correct, then a one-eyed viewer could see "stereo" (although
of course it wouldn't be true stereo because you only see one view at a
time). >>

I saw something very similar: A group of cheerleaders (if memory serves) 
formed into a human pyramid, and as the camera rotated around them, they 
appeared to be in 3D. I believe your analysis of how the effects works is 
correct. I DID tape mine, but damned if I know where it is now...
