Views: 4363

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!

Here's the good news - someone recorded The Ray Rayner Show at various times in the early seventies! Now the bad news - they only recorded the cartoons, and cut out nearly everything else. :-( I bring you the only snippets left - a few excerpts of the clock that they would show the time on, and in some cases, the chalkboard with the date, weather, and sports scores. Some might wonder why...

WFLD Channel 32 - The Koz Zone - "The Astro-Zombies" - "Beginnings..." (1989)

Views: 763

Here's the first few minutes of the very first Koz Zone episode (before it had a name even) - back when he was really playing up the idea of being a video pirater. The first movie he showed was "The Astro-Zombies" (which he also showed on Son of Svengoolie at one point).

It was an exciting time - waiting for this to come on. It had been years since I had seen Son of Svengoolie or any Rich Koz Komedy at that point, and it was starting to become a fuzzy childhood memory ...

Views: 5013

Here is another clip from WTTW Channel 11 Sneak Previews with a review of Blade Runner, Pranks (A.K.A. Death Dorm), the Pheobe Cates - Willie Ames movie "Paradise", and the ending credits to the show.

I can't believe they didn't have thumbs up or down back then. When the heck did they start that? I thought it was with them from very early on!

It's a shame neither Siskel or Ebert seemed to "get" Blade Runner, which is considered a classic by most people nowada...
