WCIU Channel 26 - Outdoor Sportsman - "Guest Kid" (Ending, 1979)

Views: 1947

Here's a clip of the ending of Outdoor Sportsman on WCIU Channel 26. Joe Wyer had as a guest some kid that wrote into the show - can't quite make out his name - did he say Red? Brad? Rhett? Wouldn't that be neat if he found this clip here after 30 years?

Anyone know what the ending music is?

Outdoor Sportsman was on Saturdays at 5:30pm, right before Eddie Korosa's Polka Party. (in the early-to-mid 70's Outdoor Sportsman aired on WSNS Channel 44)

Views: 4851

Here's a pretty awesome super-vintage commercial for Jewel Food Stores (A.K.A., "Jewels" as we called them back in de olde neighborhood), advertising their "Midnight Jewel" service with over 70 stores open until midnight seven days a week.

Features three people with differing stories - a man who ran out of food while throwing a party (Dick Orkin), a woman who works days and thus can't shop until the evening (Cherie Mason), and a younger woman on the hunt for Corn Flakes for h...

Imperial Carpet (Commercial, 1984)

Here is yet another Chicago carpeting company trying to get in on the business. Imperial. Hmm...sounds vaguely like another company. No catchy jingle though, so they're not getting my business...

The Reluctant Robot (Part 1, 1980)

Views: 1319

Here is Part 1 from another all but forgotten Field Communications special production - The Reluctant Robot. It was produced to get kids interested in Astronomical Science; pulsars, planets, space travel, etc. You can definitely see the influence from Star Wars a couple years earlier. The budget must not have been too great because the whole thing comes off as feeling like an episode of Dr. Who. (not that there's anything *wrong* with that) ;-)

Once again, I am pretty sure...

Way to Go! Special (Part 2, 1980)

Views: 392

Here is Part 2 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...
