Views: 1974

Here's a special FuzzyMemories You Are There (and write the video description) segment. ;-)

Carol LeBeau and Dan tease the following stories:
A federal judge called an end to the railroad strike.
The body of Pope John Paul the first lies in state in Rome.
In Sports, the Red Sox stay alive in the pennant race.
In Weather, John says a pretty good weekend is coming up.

We see a wide shot of the news set with the weather map...

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...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Phyllis Diller Impersonator" (1972)

Views: 1438

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, ...

Here's another neat commercial for Starbeat! (previous to this we saw only one other Starbeat commercial, from 1983) This one features a different ending slide that also shows a picture of Steve Cronen.

Featuring Steve Cronen and the Starbeat Dictaphone at 948-8800! He's still around too with Starbeat Intermedia, Inc!

WFLD Channel 32 - Keyfax Nite-Owl Service (Opening, 7/16/82)

Views: 2603

Here's another rare example of WFLD Channel 32's Keyfax Nite-Owl Service, notably the first six minutes thereof on this particular day.

Nite-Owl was WFLD's equivalent to two primitive (by today's standards), digital-based overnight "tele-text" services prevalent on British television, BBC's long-running Ceefax and ITV's (Independent Television, the commercial TV outlet) Oracle. Ceefax lasted up to the end of analogue television in England in ...

CBS Network - In The News - "Central America" (1983)

Views: 1291

Here's a segment of the kids news featurette, In The News - which deals with the subject of Central America, touching on peace talks going on at that time in El Salvador between the government and rebel leaders, with President Reagan's Special Envoy to Central America Richard Stone serving as a mediator; as well as Stone's meetings with Nicaragua Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega who supporter the Salvadoran rebels. Mention is also made of Reagan ordering naval exercises off Central Ame...

WLS Channel 7 - "The Original 3:30 (4:30) Movie Opening!" (1969-1973?)

Views: 7301

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 ...

Way to Go! Special (Part 7, 1980)

Views: 1759

Here is Part 7 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...

Hooray for Reading - "The TV Kid" (#6, 1979)

Views: 746

Here is the sixth in a series of ten, minute-long shorts (or interstitials as they are sometimes known) created by Field Communications for children called Hooray for Reading. These would air during the commercial breaks on kid's shows and cartoons.

These featured kids briefly doing some other activity besides reading (the "hook") and then describing a book they like using a brief dramatization of a part in the story.

This one is based on the book "The TV Kid" by...
