WMAQ Channel 5 - Off the Wall (Opening & Break, 1977)

Views: 2004

Remember that classic sitcom from 1977 called "Off the Wall"? No? Well neither does anyone else because it only aired once - on May 7th 1977. A failed television pilot.

What do you think the odds are that someone in the Chicagoland area (not connected with the production of the show) recorded the entire show, with the original commercial breaks intact, didn't ever record over the tape, and then saved the tape for 38 years before we got our hands on it? (just to give you some hi...

This was originally aired as an ABC Movie of the Week from 1972.

The opening to The 3:00 Movie here is similar to The ABC Sunday Night Movi...

WLS Late Night Movie bumper (in Black & White - do they not "switch back over" to color quickly enough? Or is this a recording artifact?) (Notice again the use of the later 3:00 Movie music despite the "Swirling Star" graphics)
