WFLD Channel 32 - Son Of Svengoolie - "Attack Of The Mushroom People" - Bobby Skafish (Break #1, 1983)

Views: 2241

A true fuzzy memory (since the reception was pretty bad) - here's Commercial Break #1 from the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Attack of the Mushroom People" on WFLD Channel 32, which features Chicago Radio DJ Bobby Skafish (doing his best Mick Jagger impersonation - well, physically - not vocally) and "The Not-Ready-For-VHF Blues Band" performing his singing tribute to Sven. (the song Bobby sings is a parody of the old blues song "The Seventh Son" by Willie Dixon)

Views: 1898

Here is the opening for the NBC Friday Night at the Movies presentation of "Midway". Also includes the EDITED FOR TELEVISION on-screen message at end. (I think the music at the beginning is cut off slightly - every example I find is like this - they cut right from a commercial or ID into the opening and it is always clipped a bit)

Voiceover by Casey Kasem.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, February 29th 1980.

Here is a Station ID in Spanish for WCIU Channel 26 and W55AS Channel 55 in Milwaukee set at the Chicago lakefront.
