Views: 3015

Here's a quick commercial for Dominicks Finer Foods, featuring their older logo style. Also features a switcher effect similar to one that WFLD used on Son of Svengoolie quite a bit, such as in this clip.

The Lost Snipets - "Take Turns & Share Re-Run" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1675

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.

(Ok, this one is not really lost, since we already saw it here - but the quality is better since it was transferred from...

Son Of Svengoolie - "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" (Opening, 1980/1982)

Views: 1408

Here is something kind of unique - the opening for Son of Sven featuring the film "I Was A Teenage Werewolf". However, this opening was used twice - once for episode number 34 (the first time he showed the movie) and again for episode number 156 (the second time he showed it) with slight variation. You can identify the older footage by noticing Sven's bushier mustache which coincides with that era.

It looks like for episode 156 he just tacked on the beginning segment with the...

WLS Channel 7 - The 3:30 Movie - "Northwest Mounted Police" (Promo, 1972)

Views: 1591

Here's something very rare - a [sound modified] promo for an upcoming 3:30 Movie presentation (in two parts) of the 1940 film "Northwest Mounted Police" (directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard) on WLS Channel 7, from within the venerable afternoon movie showcase's early years.

Pretty neat find, showing different 3:30 Movie title graphics than we've seen before. Anyone remember this version? Could it have only been used for the...

Here's an excerpt of a commercial break during the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Assignment Terror" on WFLD Channel 32.

Sven was at Six Flags Great America that day (recently taken over from Marriott's in 1984) to help promote the March of Dimes telethon that was also hosted at the park.

Views: 3203

Here's Part 2 of an interesting piece of history - The beginning of the Lead-Off Man show on WGN Channel 9 on Opening Day 1961, White Sox At Washington, featuring an interview with the president.

Vince Lloyd interviews both John F. Kennedy and LBJ from the President's box. Hubert Humphrey and Everett Dirksen are right behind JFK. Panoramic shots of the old (and now long gone) Griffith Stadium, with the National Anthem. JFK throws out the first ball, caught by Jungle Jim Rive...

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.

(again, not lost per se, since this one surfaced on YouTube awhile back, but it was recorded from a Miami station and didn't have the proper end bumper. Also, improved quality here)

WLS Channel 7 - Late Night Movie - "A Woman Rebels" (Opening, 1980)

Here's the opening for the WLS Late Night Movie presentation of "A Woman Rebels".

Notice, the graphics are the "Swirling Stars" animation which is the same style as the WLS 3:30 Movie opening from the same era.

However, the music is not the same - it is instead the music that is used for the updated WLS 3:00 Movie. ...
