Remember when you were little and you'd be watching TV, and all of a sudden the picture would go nuts? You knew your Mom was in the kitchen using the mixer to make a cake or something like that, but you didn't care - you'd yell at her to turn it off before the program came back on! Here's an example of that. :-)

Views: 1770
Here's an excerpt from an airing of an episode of the original Star Trek series on KXTX Channel 39 in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (then owned by the Christian Broadcasting Network, now owned by Telemundo - and thus, a sister station to our own WSNS Channel 44, hence a six-degrees-of-separation Chicago connection).
After the station ID/"Next" promo (voiceover by ??), they start right off the bat with a misthreaded presentation (from the 16mm film projector) of the episode "Aren...

GK Chevrolet Of Downers Grove (Commercial, 1977)
Views: 3985
Here's an extremely low budget commercial for GK Chevrolet in Downers Grove. It looks like someone's Super 8 home movies, and it isn't helped by a technical problem with the audio - the announcer keeps cutting out. Then he seems a bit lost. Finally, the last 15 seconds of the live read feature dead air with a clock plaintively ticking in the background.
GK Chevrolet is now Bill Kay Chevrolet - part of the Bill Kay Automotive Group - still at the same place, 1601 Ogden Avenue...

Anyone know the name of the music?

WFLD Channel 32 - "Please Don't Eat The Six Million Dollar Man" (1978)
Views: 2554
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.
