Various Local Newscasts - "The Death Of Peter Sellers" (Excerpts, 1980)

Views: 2614

Here are some recordings made on the night that the death of British comic actor Peter Sellers was reported in Chicago. Features Walter Jacobson, Fahey Flynn, John Drury, Gene Siskel, and Carrie Cochran - as well as some short clips from a few of his best known movie roles.

*Note*: Peter Sellers is usually reported to have died on 7/24/80, and this is because it was after midnight in London that he died. So, these clips actually aired on 7/23/80 since Chicago is 6 hours behin...

(?) Fuzzy's Mystery Clip - "Sports Edition" (?)

Views: 1271

It's time for another fun mystery clip - this time for you sports fans out there!

Can you:

ID the game and date these clips are from?

ID the "drunk" guy walking around and then seen later singing during the 7th inning stretch? Something tells me he may be a football player. :-)

Let's give others a chance, so for now I am asking our resident schedule sleuths such as Phantom to not jump in right away. :-)

Views: 1012

Here is Part 3 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

Featuring:

Another clip-within-a-clip showing a segment from an earlier show - Tombstone's The Amazing No-Skin!

Here is Part 4 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

The Day After Christmas Complaint Department (must be from Dec. 1983, since this is a reference to The Day After movie that aired in November of that year and was big news.) (inc...

Kaiser Broadcasting Company (ID #2, 1977)

Views: 5062

Here's a different Kaiser Broadcasting ID than the one we just saw - this one is a few months older and by this time they had upgraded to an animated one. Same music and voiceover though.

We can probably assume that the exact same ID would air on WFLD during this period.

Svengoolie/Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 1)

Views: 3476

Here is Part 1 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie (and in turn, the original Svengoolie) clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else. It's labeled "Son of Svengoolie - 1979 to 1983 - Clips" in a crude computer generated font - again, I did not produce any of this.
