Boushelle Featuring Cecil Treadway (Commercial, 1978)

Views: 2759

Here's a commercial for General Boushelle carpet cleaning services featuring the President of the Company, Cecil E. Treadway.

Recognize that voice? That's him - the same guy who does the main voiceovers in the other commercials (not the "HUdson 3-2700" though! I wonder who that was?). How's that for an efficient operation?

This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, October 31st 1978 durin...

WCIX Channel 6 - Snipets - "Handicapped Kid" (1984)

Views: 1586

Here's another rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s. However, with the sale and dissolution of Field starting in 1982, for whatever reason Snipets segments popped up on a few other non-Field or former-Field stations, even as late as 1986!

This particular a...

Here is a second bumper (with different wording) for the Jetsons on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32. This dates from 1984.

Snipets - "Come Back Here" (1981)

Views: 5126

Well, at long last - here it is - Fuzzy's #1 most-wanted clip. Remembered by most people who watched *ANY* WFLD in the late-70s / early 80s (and on other Field affiliates and syndicated stations) - the infamous "Come Back Here" Snipets segment (A.K.A., the "Come Back Can" as I wrongly dubbed it for many years).

As with a lot of things that are looked for and eventually found, there is a bit of "That's it, is it?" underwhelming sentiment - it's only 60 seconds long, after all -...

Here is a bumper for The Flintstones on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32. This dates to August of 1984.

Voiceover by Jeff Lupetin - "Now back to The Flintstones..."

This one's a little different from the Jetsons and Woody bumpers because it has the newer Metromedia 32 logo but also has "WFLD TV" added which the others do not.

(Note: The black box was for showing the clock displaying the current time in the morning. It is not included in ...
