The Reluctant Robot (Part 3, 1980)

Views: 449

Here is Part 3 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) ;-)

Finally, in color! Here's the opening for the Stooges / Rascals Hour on WFLD Channel 32, from an original master tape (which looks like it was transferred from 16mm film) - and therefore with no voiceover. (Previous to this we only had an off-air black-and-white recording of the opening, from 1979)

At the beginning, we briefly see the production slate showing that this was number 8856 and was crea...
