Views: 5697

Here's a segment from the made-for-TV movie "Give Me Liberty".

This clip is interesting because it contains a technical difficulties moment when the station lost the sound for the network feed and printed on the screen "Lost Network Sound. Please stand by."

At about the one minute mark and again at the 2 minute 43 second mark you hear two different announcers respectively, who are they? I think I have a clue but I'll let you guys guess.

It's time for another fun mystery clip - this time for you sports fans out there!

Can you:

ID the game and date these clips are from?

ID the "drunk" guy walking around and then seen later singing during the 7th inning stretch? Something tells me he may be a football player. :-)

Let's give others a chance, so for now I am asking our resident schedule sleuths such as Phantom to not jump in right away. :-)

Views: 2277

Here is the 8th and final part from another all but forgotten Field Communications special production - The Reluctant Robot. It was produced to get kids interested in Astronomical Science; pulsars, planets, space travel, etc. You can definitely see the influence from Star Wars a couple years earlier. The budget must not have been too great because the whole thing comes off as feeling like an episode of Dr. Who. (not that there's anything *wrong* with that) ;-)
