WMAQ Channel 5 - Movie 5 - "The Ape Man" (Opening & PSA's, 1988)

Views: 3218

Here is the opening of a late movie feature of "The Ape Man" on WMAQ Channel 5. It starts out with some kind of time-filler - a Channel 5 logo over some rock music which goes on for over a minute, and then the opening to the "Movie 5" begins - I've seen this opening before used in New York so I think it was a national thing.

Then, strangely, between the Movie 5 opening and the start of the film, they show the following PSA's:

Views: 1657

Here's a very cool glimpse at some very old TV-44 - from 1974!

- 3pm - Robin Hood (presumably the 1950's British-made TV series with Richard Greene in the title role)

- 3:30pm - Popeye on 44 with Steve Hart (a what-ful of surprises?) ;-)

- 4pm - Spider-Man (...

Views: 979

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 segment (#1-3) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie answers questions from vi...

Views: 578

Here is the first in a series of 10, minute-long shorts (or interstitials as they are sometimes known) created by Field Communications for children called Hooray for Reading. These would air during the commercial breaks on kid's shows and cartoons.

These featured kids briefly doing some other activity besides reading (the "hook") and then describing a book they like using a brief dramatization of a part in the story.

This one is based on the book "The Glad Man" ...
