Views: 2025

Here's something weird - maybe the technical folks can tell us what happened here. During the opening of the Movie 32 presentation of "Topper Takes a Trip" on WFLD Channel 32 we see the credits stop and suddenly replaced by a number slide with "1596" written in grease pencil, then it goes to black, and then the credits resume.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, March 28th 1971.

Views: 3373

At the end of a tape was the ending only of the Eyewitness News at 5pm on WLS Channel 7. This came from a studio recording, not off-air, so the audio is eventually turned down and the picture goes to a static shot of the Eyewitness News set. Features Jay Levine, Terry Murphy, and Joel Daly.

The ICBM control room looks exactly like the one in the opening scene of WarGames!

Based on the news stories, this seems to be from Tuesday, December 27th 1977.
