The Lost Snipets - "The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1101

I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. Not sure when this segment was created but I went with the 1977 classic "patchwork" Snipets logo. Enjoy.

Channel 6 (Nashville) - "A Primitive Weather Channel Christmas" (Excerpt, 1975)

Views: 7950

Not from Chicago, but still of historical interest: a weird oddity - an excerpt from cable Channel 6 in Nashville, Tennessee (broadcasting in black and white), with what amounts to a primitive version of The Weather Channel, with readings of Wind Direction, Wind Velocity, Barometric Pressure, Temperature, Time, and Current Speed in MPH (just kidding). Plus, it includes a (literal) community bulletin board (including, at one point, a notice for town carolers). All this with a hypnotic, end...

Views: 843

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.

Featuring:

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...

Here's Part 1 of a fairly early episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show - back when they were still producing it in the WLS-TV studios, and when they were still using the old AM Chicago music as the theme.

WLS-TV anchorman Joel Daly shows off his yodeling ability (!) and then Kevin McGurk, WLS Account Executive in the Sales department does some impressions, singing and perfo...
