Views: 4514

Here is the opening to a rebroadcast of the made-for-tv movie "Forever" starring Stephanie Zimbalist of Remington Steele fame. This is interesting for a number of reasons, but mainly because it features a WBBM Channel 2 weather-crawl warning of thunderstorms for some Wisconsin counties.

Views: 2217

Here's a return bumper for when the CBS Network aired The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show on Saturday mornings. These have a video arcade theme to them.

Also includes the opening card for one of the cartoons - with a little musical ditty that will stay stuck in my head forever. (they had slight variations of it however - this one wasn't my favorite - it's kind of truncated. I liked the full version)
