Views: 2840

Here's a technical difficulties moment from the CBS Special Movie Presentation of "Something For Joey". We see a Johnny Morris WBBM Sports bumper followed by a Gaines Gravy Train dog food sponser slide, and then the return of the movie - which is soon cut short by the TD moment.

It was moments like these where we didn't know if the missiles were already on their way or not. ;-)

Views: 1461

Here's a strange technical difficulties moment from an airing of the series 3-2-1 Contact on the PBS station WCAE Channel 50 (St. John, Indiana) - which later became WYIN Channel 56. (giving up the Channel 50 frequency which would then be taken over by WPWR-TV)

We start, innocently enough, with the animated CTW (Children's Television Workshop) logo opening, already in progress, followed by the opening titles sped way-up. Now wait - you might assume that this is the tec...

Svengoolie/Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 1)

Views: 3477

Here is Part 1 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie (and in turn, the original Svengoolie) clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else. It's labeled "Son of Svengoolie - 1979 to 1983 - Clips" in a crude computer generated font - again, I did not produce any of this.

Back to Warner and Jerry, who (as well as the chyron display) remind the audience that they're at Miomir's Serbian Club at 2255 W.
