WMAQ Channel 5 - Movie 5 (Ending, 1989)

Views: 2407

Here's the ending for the Movie 5 presentation on WMAQ Channel 5. (which I believe was the same sequence as the opening) You can see colored footage of old movies and stars such as Charlie Chaplin.

Wasn't this used as the opening for other movie shows in other cities? How old is it? (i.e., when did they first start using it?) Anyone know?

This aired on local Chicago TV early Saturday, January 14th 1989.

Bristle Blocks By Playskool (Commercial, 1979?)

Views: 2580

Here's a commercial for Bristle Blocks - "It's You, Daddy!" by Playskool - A Milton Bradley Company. Set 806.

Full Disclosure: I edited together the two pieces of this commercial that were found in two different commercial breaks (though from the same broadcast, most likely)

Not sure when this aired exactly, but based on evidence in the recording, 1979 seems like a good bet, although technically it could have been early 1980 too.
