Way to Go! Special (Part 3, 1980)
Views: 1795
Here is Part 3 of the Field Communications produced Way to Go! Special - an hour long (compilation?) showcase of some special kids and what they do. Has a lot of nice little slices of late seventies life as a kid. :-) The tape was dated May of 1980. My contact says that only a few of these "Specials" were made. Like I said, I'm not sure if these were compilations of segments shown on the regular Way to Go program, or if they were specifically produced for these specials. I am pretty sure thi...

Long Chevrolet - "Camaros" (Commercial, 1979)
Views: 3528
Here's another Long Chevrolet commercial with Timmy all grown up. Actually, they must have reused commercials or something because he seems older in this one from 1979 than he does in one that aired in 1981.
This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, September 9th 1979.

To complete the trifecta, here is one more Lincoln Carpeting commercial, circa 1984. Not the full version of the jingle, but enough.
Off comes the tie, and out come the sales records. Uh-oh, he's going for the hard sell now. :-)

Here is a Lincoln Carpeting commercial, circa 1984. Not the full version of the jingle, but enough. :-)
Apparently, Lincoln is the thinking man's carpet company. Makes that Empire guy look like a uneducated philistine. ;-)

Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.
This closing segment is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.
This segment starts off with Svengoolie in his uprig...
