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...

WTTW Channel 11 - Image Union (Ending, 1984)

Views: 1272

Here is the ending to WTTW Channel 11's Image Union featuring "Bob" the cardboard mascot and his gravelly intonation, "Hey! That was a pretty good show - I think I'll watch again NEXT week." :-)

Oh, don't forget the brilliant "Media Burn" by Ant Farm - the short film shown at the end with the car crashing into the burning TV's. I love the music that goes with it too. :-)

Image Union was produced by Tom Weinberg. (Who I believe was also the voice of "Bob")
