WFLD Channel 32 - Lunchtime Fun (Ending Excerpt, 1983)

Views: 1299

Here is a brief excerpt from the ending for Lunchtime Fun on WFLD Channel 32. You can hear Dr. Don's voiceover and the funky music, which was used for a number of programs/promos on WFLD at the time. He's referencing a show on at 2:30, so based on TV Guides from the time period, this was Casper, which aired at that time in February 1983.

This aired on local Chicago TV Friday, February 11th 1983 @ about 1pm! (right before I Love Lucy began)

I actually wouldn't mind visiting a Carpet Forest. Hopefully, it would have less bugs. ;-)
