Way to Go (Part 2a, 1980)

Views: 626

Here is Part 2a of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have aired at other times too.

Features:

The Way to Go g...

WTTW Channel 11 - Movie 11 - "Threads" (Opening, 1987)

Views: 1859

Here's the opening to a "Movie 11" presentation of Threads - a harrowing, deeply depressing look at the immediate and long-term effects of a full-scale nuclear war. This British film makes The Day After look like an episode of Gilligan's Island.

Just take your ol' Uncle Fuzz' advice - don't ever watch this movie - just don't. You'll feel better, trust me.

Features a quick bit of Fuzzy modification at the end, just for some morbid fun. ;-)

Kaiser Broadcasting Company (ID #1, 1977)

Views: 6936

Here it is at long last! A complete Kaiser Broadcasting ID! I wish I could say this was from a Chicago recording, but it actually comes from a tape made off of one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit.

As you can hear at the end of this clip (in an extremely brief snippet) - the same music was used in the WFLD one, so it's very likely that they were identical (except perhaps for the ...

Views: 2734

Here's a segment from the Fall Praise-A-Thon on WCFC Channel 38, coming in about 25 seconds into this clip after channel switching.

This starts with channel switching (from cable TV) from an excerpt from Boone episode "Chance of a Lifetime" (which aired on WMAQ Channel 5; featured Barry Corbin and Thomas Byrd) to a "Job Mart" on cable channel with soft rock song (can any music experts here apprise as to what it is?) to a film about computers and mathematics (proba...

WFLD Channel 32 - Six O'Clock Movie - "The FBI Story" (Technical Difficulties, 1981)

Views: 2925

Here's a technical difficulties moment during the WFLD Channel 32 Six O'Clock Movie presentation of "The FBI Story" - featuring a strange slide.

Perhaps Telefrank can tell us what's going on here? Why is the slide so dark and mysterious looking? Why/when would this ever be used?

Who knows how long this technical difficulties moment lasted? Unfortunately someone was impatient and paused the recording and restarted it when the film was fixed. :-)
