Here's Commercial Break #2 for the Movie 32 presentation of "Topper Takes a Trip" on WFLD Channel 32. Includes:

HFC (Household Finance Corporation) Mortgages (in color)

What's Happening!? WFLD promo (in color) featuring Jerry G. Bishop (in his Svengoolie-era days) along with someone else. (Little did WFLD know that years later they would be showing another (unrelated) show with the same name) ;-) "Every day at 2:10" (?) Why not 2:23 or 12:56? ;-)

WFLD Channel 32 - Mission: Impossible - "Break!" (Bumper Excerpt, 1977)

Views: 1054

Here's something pretty rare and cool, though it's only very brief - an excerpt of a bumper from Mission: Impossible on WFLD Channel 32 during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! If you pause the video near the end you can see a stylized slide of Peter Graves along with the show name and WFLD Kaiser logo.

Rarer than a Hen's tooth, this stuff is. ;-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, April 1st 1977 during the 9pm to 10pm timeframe.

WFLD Channel 32 - "Please Don't Eat The Six Million Dollar Man" (1978)

Views: 2538

During the broadcast of an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, someone at WFLD Channel 32 screwed up and played the bumper for (of all things) the show "Please Don't Eat The Daisies" instead of the correct one.

Rumor has it, thirteen employees were fired as a result. ;-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, November 9th 1978.

WFLD Channel 32 - Lunchtime Fun - "The Monkees" (Ending, 1982)

Views: 957

Here's the ending for the Lunchtime Fun presentation of The Monkees on WFLD Channel 32.

No voiceover, but thought I'd include it anyway. There is a snippet of the Lunchtime Fun graphics at the end before the recording cuts out. I think it was rather rare for WFLD to have ending credits without a voiceover, no?

All in all, these were some fairly disappointing commercial breaks. For "Lunchtime Fun", which is supposed to be kids programming,...

Views: 5942

Here's Part 1 of an episode of the Hot Fudge Show - which was produced in Detroit but also aired all over the country, including Chicago on WFLD, WSNS, and WLS, at various times during the 70's and early 80's.

This segment features The Mitts, as well as Write-On! with the Groucho Marx type puppet, and Arte Johnson doing the Hug Awards.

Despite what the IMDB entry and Wikipedia entries say, the show began in 1974, as this episode is from that year and is one of th...

WFLD Channel 32 - Emergency One (Promo, 1977-78)

Views: 1825

Here's a promo for Emergency One (original syndicated title for the 1972-77 series Emergency!) on WFLD Channel 32. This promo, with no voiceover, starts off with the station's then-current "Look At Us!" slogan (with Kaiser-era logo) and shows short segments from various Emergency! episodes.

Since this was from a master tape we can only assume that it would have had a voiceover by Ron Beattie and a super of the WFLD logo and show name at the end, when it ac...
