WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "3-D Movie Excerpt & On-Screen ID" (1982)

Views: 1263

Here's an excerpt from the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Revenge of the Creature" in 3-D. This was show #158. (Also includes a WFLD 32 On-screen station ID)

Some have said that this scene was the most effective at conveying 3D. I'd have to agree - the fish swimming by in particular look like they're in the foreground even without the glasses on. :-)

This aired at around 8pm on Thursday, July 29th 1982.

WLS Channel 7 - Eyewitness News - "Just Themselves" (Promo, 1973?)

Views: 5037

Here's a neat promo for the WLS Channel 7 all-star Eyewitness News team Flynn-Daly-Coleman-Frink-And-Drury. (Fahey Flynn, Joel Daly, John Coleman, Bill Frink, and John Drury)

Featuring Don Ferris (former WSNS and WTTW announcer) as the old-time radio guy in the tux at the beginning.

Directed by the legendary Joe Sedelmaier. (of "Where's the Beef" fame, and countless others)

Not sure what year this is from, but 1973 seems a good estimate.

Here's a really hilariously terrible record offer called Muskrat Love from TEJ Records.

Why did the artists involved allow their songs to be re-recorded by sound-alikes?

"So you don't forget, send before midnight tomorrow!"

This aired on local Detroit TV on Saturday, February 26th 1977 during the 5pm to 6pm hour. (not Chicago TV, but still cool)
