Perkins' Fanta-Mals - Ralf - "Production Elements" (1974?)

Views: 1091

Here's kind of a rare oddity - an animated production element for a "coloring book/cut-out paper dolls kit" type toy called Fanta-Mals (or Mini-Mals) by Perkins. This was found on an old 3/4" tape and dates to about 1974 or 1975.

Features the Fanta-Mals mascot - "Ralf", the green monster with the pink umbrella (or in this case, red umbrella)

Not sure how or if this was used in a commercial, since it doesn't show up in the other spots.

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 - "ElectroNewsMusik" (Ending, 1976)

Views: 3727

I believe someone asked for this once - the weird electronic music that NewsCenter5 apparently used before they replaced it with a more traditional sounding (yet still Electronic-tinged) theme. So, here's an ending of NewsCenter5 on WMAQ Channel 5 that I found recently that features the music. Also has a voiceover promo by Lorry Young for NBC's Saturday Night (later known as Saturday Night Live) Lastly t...

WLS promo for the "new" 3:00 Movie - "Where Were You When The Lights Went Out?" (voiceover by Dick Tufeld) (was this during a trial period of the 3:00 Movie?

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Ask Svengoolie" (1972)

Views: 710

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #5 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #6 or Break #7 for all we know. This one features Ask Svengoolie with a question from the "Scare Mail" bag for that week.
