Your Local Zoo or Aquarium - "It's Wild" (1984?)

Views: 588

Here's a couple spots that one of our contributors, Matthew Graczyk found on Quad 2" videotape for "Your local Zoo or Aquarium". He believes these were used for the local Peoria area, although they do not specify and are generic enough to be used all over.

Views: 3015

Here's a first - the first off-air recording of Garfield Goose and Friends that has ever been found (to my knowledge).

This recording was ostensibly made for The Morning Movie presentation of "Sorry, Wrong Number" but luckily for us they started tapin...

Views: 2369

Here's a demo reel for B.J. & Dirty Dragon featuring Dave Dillman, director of the show, which aired on WFLD Channel 32. It features two examples of musical numbers from The Thumptwangers with Maynard the Crow, preceded by technical descriptions by Mr. Dillman. This was transferred from a 2" quad tape, which starts off with color bars and accompanying (approx.) 400 Hz tone.

First up is the Thumptwangers' lip-syncing (or beak-syncing, if you will) to Ray Stevens' "Fredd...
