Here's another example of a bumper from "The All Electric Magik Lantern Moving Picture Show" - which was what WBBM Channel 2 called their Late Late Movie. On this night the presentation was "Land of the Pharaohs".

You can hear they used an excerpt from a piece of classical music during the bumpers - anyone know what it is?

This aired on local Chicago TV early Monday, December 18th 1978.

WSNS Channel 44 - "The Mike Douglas Show" (Bumper Promo, 1977)

Views: 1029

Here's a quick bumper promo for The Mike Douglas Show airing on WSNS Channel 44 weekdays at 5pm starting Monday, April 18th 1977.

(I was able to date these clips exactly because it was recorded on the tape after the Superman episode that aired from April 10th to the 15th, and because this episode was preceeded by Spider-Man, so it must have aired on a Sunday but before the 18th)

Shogun Warriors and Godzilla from Mattel (Commercial, 1978)

Views: 1229

Here's another commercial for the Shogun Warriors line of toys by Mattel, this one featuring the mighty and monstrous Godzilla. (the first ad we saw didn't feature him)

My cousin Danny had this Godzilla, and it was pretty awesome, especially the hand-operated fire tongue and the spring-launched fist (was the real Godzilla able to remove his hand at will and launch it at his prey? Somehow I don't r...

Views: 3164

Here is another rare Snipets segment! These would air on Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32 in the 70's and 80's.

This one is a bit fuzzy, but it's the best we have so far. This one also features the older "patchwork" logo of Snipets as well as a different group of kids saying "Snipets!". There is also a voiceover at the end which sounds like George Takei - "Snipets are produced by Field Communications". This voiceover was dropped when the "worms" version to...
