WMAQ Channel 5 - Off the Wall (Opening & Break, 1977)
Views: 1983
Remember that classic sitcom from 1977 called "Off the Wall"? No? Well neither does anyone else because it only aired once - on May 7th 1977. A failed television pilot.
What do you think the odds are that someone in the Chicagoland area (not connected with the production of the show) recorded the entire show, with the original commercial breaks intact, didn't ever record over the tape, and then saved the tape for 38 years before we got our hands on it? (just to give you some hi...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Phyllis Diller Impersonator" (1972)
Views: 1433
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.
This Break #2 from an unknown episode number features an impersonator of famous comedian Phyllis Diller.
I'm thinking that "SYT #1" as the clapboard person says, refers to the fact that it's Movie #1. (2 movies a night were shown for most of the run of SYT)
According to the TV listings, ...
Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Tina McDowall" (Transition, 1973)
Views: 501
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 transitional segment is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.
This segment starts out with Svengoolie at the ...

Mother Plumtree finishing up a chocolate muzzie and offering it to Fenster who declares himself sick of her "silly cooking"; Wally berating Blob's "Wally the Wonder Horse" makeup (with accompanying hoof sounds); Mayor B.J. on the phone with Mother over what went down, and then deducing that all the da...
WSNS Channel 44 - Star Spangled Movie - "You're Telling Me!" (Bumper #5, 197?)
Views: 846
Here is something extremely rare - some bumpers and on-screen station ID's during the "Star Spangled Movie" presentation of the W.C. Fields film "You're Telling Me!" on WSNS Channel 44.
It's too bad this person didn't go to the kitchen to make a sandwich - it would have been nice to have a complete bumper or commercial break.
Notice this bumper is different! The ol' 44 Film Cans with the title of the film and W.C. Fields name - look at the font.
