Snipets - "The Granola Chef" (1981)

Views: 1806

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: 5126

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: 1670

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...

WFLD Channel 32 - Lunchtime Fun - "The Monkees" (Ending, 1982)

Views: 984

Here's the ending for the Lunchtime Fun presentation of The Monkees on WFLD Channel 32.

No voiceover, but thought I'd include it anyway. There is a snippet of the Lunchtime Fun graphics at the end before the recording cuts out. I think it was rather rare for WFLD to have ending credits without a voiceover, no?

All in all, these were some fairly disappointing commercial breaks. For "Lunchtime Fun", which is supposed to be kids programming,...
