WGN Channel 9 - Creature Features - "The Wolf Man" [Opening Re-Creation] (1970-1976)

Views: 14961

Here is a re-creation (not original) of the opening of the legendary Creature Features program on WGN Channel 9. Normally I don't approve of re-creations, but since this is such an important piece of Chicago TV history, and since such scant authentic material exists for this program (only off-air audio recordings and a "gag" type promo that was made for an old WGN Sales Department presentation) - I figured this was worth an exception.

It's a shame that no authentic off-...

Views: 2556

Here's a commercial for Stove Top Stuffing for Pork, in which a young Ally Sheedy (in the period when she was frequently appearing in such commercials, and years before becoming a key member of the "Brat Pack") lures "Uncle Tim" (who's building a doghouse) to a dinner with pork chops accompanied by Stove Top instead of potatoes.

Yet more Ally Sheedy commercial work...jeez, we might have to make a special category for her. So far we've seen her in

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Wilderness Road" - The Golden Goolie Award (Segment #2-2, 1973)

Views: 487

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 (#2-2) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie is presiding over "The Go...
