Views: 946

Here's a segment of WTTW Channel 11's Auction '77, featuring Creative Mirror Designs auction #9415 with Pam the "Creative Mirrors Girl." (the daughter of the owner)

We start with a countdown and paper written down:
"Special Pres. - 4-17-77 - Creative Mirrors 9415"

What follows next was actually the original Creative Mirrors commercial (or at least the first 13 seconds of it before Don Ferris takes over for the actual Auction segment). This a...

Way to Go! Special (Part 6, 1980)

Views: 457

Here is Part 6 of the Field Communications produced Way to Go! Special - an hour long (compilation?) showcase of some special kids and what they do. Has a lot of nice little slices of late seventies life as a kid. :-) The tape was dated May of 1980. My contact says that only a few of these "Specials" were made. Like I said, I'm not sure if these were compilations of segments shown on the regular Way to Go program, or if they were specifically produced for these specials. I am pretty sure this...

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

Views: 782

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 #4 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #5 or Break #6 for all we know. This one features a riddle by Sven.

Note he also mentions tonight's "first" flick ...

WFLD Channel 32 - Six O'Clock Movie - "Bumper Production Elements" (1978)

Views: 2722

Here's some neat behind-the-scenes stuff - some working production elements for what appear to be commercial bumpers for the Six O'Clock Movie on WFLD Channel 32. You can see this is essentially the same graphics as the opening we saw recently for the Six O'Clock Movie.

First we hear some of the bumper music, "K-Jee" by MFSB again ("bumper beds", says the box). Next some color bars, and then it looks li...

WSNS Channel 44 - Star Spangled Movie - "You're Telling Me!" (On-Screen ID #2, 197?)

Views: 685

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.

The music during the bumper segments is interesting - also notice they fade it up slowly a good 5 seconds before the bumper begins, while t...
