Here's one of the few glimpses yet found of a show that a lot of people remember and have requested footage of - Monster Rally Movie! This aired on WSNS Channel 44 and reportedly had it's own host - a mysterious figure in a creepy costume. Here we get to see another partial commercial bumper from the show - the only type of footage (other than the movie itself) known to exist currently. The movie this night was the very weird 1973 film Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural.
WSNS Channel 44 - Monster Rally Movie (Bumper Excerpt, 197?)
Views: 2589
Here's something pretty rare - an (unfortunately) partial bumper for the Monster Rally Movie - this one being the first glimpse of one that we've seen with the spooky voiceover announcer - "...on 44..." (it doesn't sound like the "host" of Monster Rally Movie, John Dickinson (seen here in the taped opening segment) could it be Don Ferris doing a scary voice?)
Also includes a snippet of a couple "Community...

Here's the "Mail Time" segment of Popeye with Steve Hart on WSNS Channel 44. Includes:

WSNS Channel 44 - The Dating Game - "Joey D'Auria" (Part 1, 1980)
Views: 2213
What are the odds? Recorded at random and saved without meaning to, here is an episode of The Dating Game on WSNS Channel 44. Cool enough because it has the original commercial breaks intact - however as I was scanning through it I slowly recognized the face - Chicago's Bozo the Clown the Second, Mr. Joey D'Auria was one of the bachelors!
In Part 1, we hear the intro to the show given by host Jim Lange - it's cut off slightly, however from what he says later in the sho...

WSNS Channel 44 - The Money Movie - "China Gate" (Break #1, 1979)
Views: 1669
Here's some rare footage from another long-lost local movie show - "The Money Movie" on WSNS TV-44! The movie presented on this day was "China Gate". TMM was similar in concept to Dialing for Dollars. Viewers (mostly lonely housewives and old people from what it sounds like) would send in post cards with their name and phone number, and the host would call them live on the air during the movie breaks to see if they could answer some trivia questions. They answered an easy preliminary ques...
