Snipets - "The Granola Chef" (1981)

Views: 1789

WE FOUND ANOTHER LOST SNIPETS SEGMENT AS AIRED ON WFLD CHANNEL 32! (Well, unfortunately it is one we have already seen before from another station and in a non-Snipets form, as listed below - however this new discovery does push back the latest time that a Snipets segment has been confirmed to have aired on WFLD. Previous to this, the latest confirmed WFLD airing was during the last week of July 1980.)

Here's a complete version of "The Granola Chef...

Snipets - "Come Back Here" (1981)

Views: 5115

Well, at long last - here it is - Fuzzy's #1 most-wanted clip. Remembered by most people who watched *ANY* WFLD in the late-70s / early 80s (and on other Field affiliates and syndicated stations) - the infamous "Come Back Here" Snipets segment (A.K.A., the "Come Back Can" as I wrongly dubbed it for many years).

As with a lot of things that are looked for and eventually found, there is a bit of "That's it, is it?" underwhelming sentiment - it's only 60 seconds long, after all -...

WSNS Channel 44 - The Money Movie - "China Gate" (Break #1, 1979)

Views: 1636

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...

Views: 6794

Here's the ending moments of the Panorama - News at Noon on WTTG Channel 5 in Washington, DC. The main anchor was Pat Mitchell (now the president and CEO of the Paley Center for Media), and the "Total Communication News" (for the deaf or hard of hearing) was delivered in a combination of speaking and sign language by Jim (?)

No shouting a la Garrett Morris on the early "Weekend Update" segments of Saturday Night Live, alas. It is a nice companion to

At long last! More Nite-Owl footage! (The first "new" Nite-Owl footage found for over 10 years!) Picture's a bit fuzzy, but of course we can't be picky.

Here is Part 1 of footage from a Nite-Owl New Year's "Special".

Modification Notice: In the interest of full disclosure, (since I try my best to keep things as authentic as possible here) I have to mention that in Part 1 I had to make some edits/overdubs in the audio only. The first one occurs at 02:44...
