Description: Here's a partial excerpt of the last commercial break (in black and white and then switching to some color) from an airing of an episode of The Rifleman on WFLD Channel 32. Includes:

Dancing Dawn Doll (This time in color!) (incomplete)

Really quick flash of Joel Daly on the WLS Channel 7 news.

Flip to the ending of an episode of Gilligan's Island - if this was 1971 it would be on WGN from 5:30 to 6pm, which fits it with the ending time of the Rifleman on WFLD in 1971. A voiceover also quickly mentions "Mark of the Vampire" - could this movie airing help date this clip?

In between - a very, very quick flash of another program - which I believe aired on Channel 11 - "The Storyteller with Val Bettin". Take a look at the screen shot I captured here:



Quick flash of the Chicken Unlimited commercial seen previously in another 1971 commercial break.

And back to the Dancing Dawn commercial before the recording ends abruptly.

Not sure when this aired yet but likely 1971 as it was likely on the same reel as the Addams Family episode from the same period.
