WTTW Channel 11 - Wild, Wild World Of Animals (Ending, 1983)

Views: 1172

Here's the ending to Wild, Wild World of Animals on WTTW Channel 11 featuring that funky and memorable ending credits music. Thankfully, this was the first episode ending I've found where WTTW did not fade-out the credits early. (even though I remember the whole song vividly)

William Conrad (TV's Cannon) does the narration. This episode was about Bighorn Sheep of the Canadian Rockies. (unfortunately, no real episode list or guide seems to exist for this show)

WFLD Channel 32 - The Baxters - "Women's Roles In Marriage"(Part 2, 1980)

Views: 2155

Here's Part 2, the final part of the Norman Lear created "interactive" program, The Baxters, as aired on WFLD Channel 32.

It was a pretty unique idea - the first half would be a fairly normal sitcom (whether or not it's any good is another question) that dealt with some issue of the day. The second half would be an in-studio discussion group to talk about the issues raised. Each city had their own locally produced second half (except for those who chose to use the "nat...

Views: 8286

Here's a really rare clip - some local coverage of the JFK assassination on WBKB Channel 7 (which later became WLS Channel 7). This is from the day after the event, when they were still trying to connect the dots. (although I am amazed at how much they have already tracked down, including Oswald's alias and where he bought the gun - Klein's Sporting Goods Company (!) at 227 West Washington Street in Chicago - owned by Mr. Milton Klein) (no relation) ;-)
