ABC Tuesday Movie Of The Week (Partial Ending, 1981)
Views: 2687
Here's a mostly complete ending to the ABC Tuesday Movie of the Week (before it got cut off early for a commercial, unfortunately)
They used this for a long time in the 70s, right? I'm surprised it was still being used as late as this airing. The movie, which ended after midnight, was "Three on a Date".
This aired on local Chicago TV early Wednesday, February 25th 1981.
WCIU Channel 26 - "Old One" (Station ID Slide, 1982?)
Views: 1436
Here's an old WCIU Channel 26 Station ID slide - this little clip was between two shows on a tape - it doesn't last very long and doesn't have any audio.
Not sure what year this is from - 1982 would make sense based on it's location on the tape, but it seems older than that to me.

Here's a commercial for Budweiser beer, with people at a race track enjoying a cold Bud while tending to a "Budweiser Eagle" race car.

"When do you say...Budweiser?"

Views: 2102
Here's a long sought-after sketch from Son of Svengoolie on WFLD Channel 32 - "The Bug Box". Not sure if it premiered on this date or if it was a re-run of the sketch.

WPWR Channel 60 - 20 Minute Workout (Part 1, 1984)
Views: 6994
Here's Part 1 of some nice wholesome entertainment - the exercise show, 20 Minute Workout. 8-) Not a complete episode unfortunately, but almost. We are missing the opening and most of the ending credits.
This aired on WFLD Channel 32 originally, but moved to WPWR Channel 60 after a year or two.
Are they on a rotating platform? It can't just be the cameras moving, right? I wonder if they got dizzy spinning around like that for so long?

Dristan Nasal Spray - "Breathing Bag Test" (Commercial, 1980)
Views: 1874
Here's a commercial for Dristan Long Lasting Decongestant Nasal Mist Spray - featuring Liz Byrne doing the "Breathing Bag Test".
Maybe I'm a little loopy tonight but this commercial just cracks me up. Did they have to make her do the bag test 3 different times?!! 8-)
