Views: 2356
Here's a rare bumper and the ending credits for Forever Fernwood on WFLD Channel 32, followed by a filmed promo for Night Gallery (screwed up with a voiceover by Bud Kelly promoting the upcoming Honeymooners episode that followed immediately).
The "Night Gallery Hour" promo ends with a neat animated "32" logo left over from the Kaiser era - I don't think we've seen this here before.
Lastly we have the first moments of the opening titles of The Ho...

Views: 9862
38 years ago today, this aired!
Here's the ending moments and a full commercial break from the long-running series Garfield Goose And Friends on WGN Channel 9, hosted by Frazier Thomas. This is significant as it is the only known color off-air recorded footage from the show yet found!
This was recorded at Ridgewood High School in Norridge (by whom, has been lost to time but we've narrowed it down to about four adults) on 3/4" U-matic videotape usin...

Boy, Rich Koz blows the rest of these guys out of the water. I know one is that Fritz the Night Owl guy - anyone else want to ID everyone and their sta...
WFLD Channel 32 - Sci-Fi Cinema (Promo, 1971)
Views: 1536
Here's another extreme rarity - a promo for Sci-Fi Cinema on WFLD Channel 32, which apparently aired at the time on Saturdays at 1pm and 6pm and Sundays at 1pm.
Notice that the color comes on at the end of this promo. This is something I haven't been able to figure out on this really old material. On some of it, if the program was in black and white originally, then the commercial breaks will be in black and white too, except occasionally the color will come on. I really don...
Dads Root Beer - "New Plastic Bottles" (Commercial, 1978)
Views: 1986
Here's a commercial for foamy Dads Root Beer (or is it Dad's Root Beer?) in the new plastic 2 liter bottle. Starring little Mindy Blank who was about 6 years old at the time.
Her mom found this commercial (which was originally in a break for the WLS 3:30 Movie presentation of "Jason and the Argonauts") through a web search and wrote to me. She was nice enough to share some of the story of how Mindy wound up in the commercial.
"We lived in Northbrook. ...
