Views: 2519
Here's Part 1 of "New Year's Eve: Chicago Style" - a special on WBBM Channel 2. Unfortunately, the recording starts during a commercial break and we miss the first 10 minutes or so of the broadcast - still, lots of local fun in this one. :-)

Here is Part 2 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:
Some Frankenstein related clips which appear to be from an anniversary show (Probably episode #302 which aired 05-18-85) - "Frankenstein" song parody (incomplete) - Son of Svengoo...

Not from a Chicago airing, but still appropriate, here's a local Chattanooga area commercial for A&M Toy Stores of East Ridge and Highland Plaza on Ringgold Road, and Eastgate Toyland of Eastgate (all of which were located within the Chattanooga, TN area), offering deals on Christmas gifts and toys from Fisher-Price. Seen around the Christmas tree are such offerings as the Sesame Street Clubhouse (with "three men in a tub" on top of the box), Riding Horse, and Play Family Farm. (Notic...

Views: 567
Here is the first in a series of 10, minute-long shorts (or interstitials as they are sometimes known) created by Field Communications for children called Hooray for Reading. These would air during the commercial breaks on kid's shows and cartoons.
These featured kids briefly doing some other activity besides reading (the "hook") and then describing a book they like using a brief dramatization of a part in the story.
This one is based on the book "The Glad Man" ...
