Then follows the most complete, and richest-color-looking opening for Garfield Goose and Friends that I have ever seen bef...

(Collins moved into the 2pm-6pm slot in June 1981.) Features the animated "We've Got Chicago Talking" at the end.

Here's something incredibly rare (tape-tracking problems notwithstanding) - another local movie show opening yanked from the dustbin of TV history! Tracking is kind of rough, but here is the opening of the Family Theatre presentation of "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" on WGN Channel 9. We see a dancing man with a hat and cane, who eventually gets yanked by the hook, as in the vaudeville days...
