Views: 3862

Here's another ending of the Outdoor Sportsman program on WCIU Channel 26. Features Joe Wyer giving some info about a fishing trip at the Channel Lake Boat House he will be attending the next day, along with Bill Radke (sp?) from WTAQ.

Anyone know what the ending music is?

Views: 1884

Here are some very brief opening, ending, and bumper excerpts from the Sunday Night Movie airing of "To Trap A Spy" on WLS Channel 7 that I edited together. We can see it uses the same swirling-star motif as used on the 3:30 Movie and Late Night Movie shows of the period, but this one has a different title that can be briefly glimpsed at t...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Wilderness Road" - Ask Svengoolie (Segment #1-3, 1973)

Views: 979

Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.

This segment (#1-3) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie answers questions from vi...
