WSNS Channel 44 - Popeye with Steve Hart - "Mail Time" (1975?)
Views: 427
Here's the "Mail Time" segment of Popeye with Steve Hart on WSNS Channel 44. Includes:
Steve starting off in front of Captain Salty, going on about what happened with "Dear Crabby" early on, with Bookie Worm (the voice of Nancy Boyle) at the desk. He then goes to the big Popeye spinach jar to select four lucky winners - the fifth who says "I Watch Popeye on Channel 44" to be invited to the lighthouse (he ends up taking one extra letter).
The first...
WCIX Channel 6 - Snipets - "Handicapped Kid" (1984)
Views: 1586
Here's another rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s. However, with the sale and dissolution of Field starting in 1982, for whatever reason Snipets segments popped up on a few other non-Field or former-Field stations, even as late as 1986!
This particular a...

If you ever wondered where Barack Obama got his slogan for the 2008 Presidential campaign from, this may have been it! ;-)
Here's a one-minute commercial for Kellogg's cereals, with the backs of cereal boxes spotlighting numerous American historical figures (Orville and Wilbur Wright, Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin) and including animated flashes of such events as Franklin's discovery ...
WGN Channel 9 - Garfield Goose and Friends - "Clutch Cargo" (1971?)
Views: 8992
Here's an interesting discovery! A 16mm film, found by Mr. Chance Mitchell on Ebay and graciously donated to us - it starts out with a vintage WGN Color Station ID (the same one we saw at the beginning of the Bozo's Circus: The Lost Tape special (albeit with different music), which is why I date this, for lack of a better guess, as from 1971)
Then follows the most complete, and richest-color-looking opening for Garfield Goose and Friends that I have ever seen bef...

The body of Pope John Paul the first lies in state in Rome.

WLS Channel 7 - AM Chicago - "Dick & Doug" (Part 2, 1976)
Views: 1266
Here's Part 2 of an interview segment from AM Chicago on WLS Channel 7, in which host Steve Edwards interviews the legendary morning drive team of Dick (Sainte) and Doug (Dahlgren) - "Dick and Doug", who were fired from WCFL AM 1000 on March 12th 1976 midway through their air shift, after talking too much about that station's change in format from Top 40 to beautiful music (they had been explicitly forbidden to do so by WCFL's general manager, Lew Witz). In this part, they speak of va...

Here's a commercial for Dominick's Finer Foods, with Elaine Mulqueen appearing in glorious color after years of being seen in black-and-white on Mulqueen's Kiddie A-Go-Go. Here, she spotlights the 50 stores located throughout Chicagoland (25 of which are now open Monday - Saturday until midnight and Sunday from 9am to 9pm), with various photo slides inside the numerous sections of each of the Dom...
WLS Channel 7 - "The Original 3:30 (4:30) Movie Opening!" (1969-1973?)
Views: 7303
Ok, I couldn't resist doing a little "photoshop job" on the 4:30 Movie logo to make it look like 3:30. ;-) But this is still a significant find - the original opening to the ABC 4:30 Movie in New York (which apparently was exactly the same as the WLS 3:30 Movie here in Chicago, except with the title changed)
My thanks to YouTuber mazinz2 (Doug) for discovering this, and for generously donating a copy of the ...

Views: 1976
Here's a segment of ABC Minute Magazine, an interstitial feature run by the network in the mid-to-late 1970's in-between daytime soaps. This segment deals with the collected works of Clement Moore, author of what was originally published as "A Visit from St. Nicholas" but became better known as "The Night Before Christmas." Hosted by James Walker (who had reported on the death of high-wire artist Karl Wallenda earlier in the year, as seen on
