Viewer Comments

The noonbreak hostess name is Lee Phillip - Her husband - Bill Bell is creator of the soap opera Bold & the Beautiful for anyone who cares.

First: Is John Coughlin the son or brother of Dick Coughlin, who was the host of Chicago's Breakfast with Bugs Bunny show on WGN before Ray Rayner took his place as host?

Second: Why didn't Svengoolie (Son of) wish a farewell to Ray Rayner?

No Son of Svengoolie you say? Perhaps because 32 was 9's direct rival back in that day.

Why was Donohue filmed on the Bozo set? And is the Noonbreak host Lee Phillip?

Wow, Jane Byrne looked like someone just shot her dog. How about a smile Janey?

I had heard that the field was so bad the day after Disco Demolition that the game on Friday had to be cancelled. If that's true, how was the game made up and what were the scores of the other games (Saturday July 14th and Sunday July 15th) in the series?

Rot-An-Egg is my personal favorite. A giant seems to have stepped on poor Dudley.

HAPPY EASTER, EVEN IF PORK IS PART OF THE EASTER MEAL!

Is there any clips after the video or the recording is cut?

I love how that Jim Sutera guy has to loudly crinkle his bag of peanuts (or potato chips or whatever it is) and then stuff one in his mouth while he's talking. That's real class!

On July 12, 2014, it will mark the 35th anniversary of Disco Demolition event. Even though the second game was a forfeit, luckily nobody got hurt or died as a result of the melee.

And unfortunately the ChiSox lost the 2nd game to the Tigers 9-0 via forfeit.
