WFLD Channel 32 - Super Cartoon Sunrise - "Popeye" (Bumper, 1984)

Views: 940

Here is a bumper for Popeye on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32.

Voiceover by Jeff Lupetin - "Now back to Popeye..."

Couple interesting things about this bumper - First of all, for some reason they use the old style WFLD 32 logo from the Field days. This is different from the other ones. Secondly, the animation is more pronounced in this version - look at the "sparkle" effects on the 32 logo and around the clock box. This wasn't seen in the other bump...

These bumpers were recorded from a master tape recorded at WFLD long ago. So, my first thought was t...

Notice there are different opening graphics from the one we saw from February 1977. (also note they didn't have the animated Kaiser ID at that time)

Also includes the animated Kaiser Broadcasting ID and a WKBD bumper slide promo for Liars Club at th...

WSNS Channel 44 - The 1 O'Clock Movie - "Gulliver's Travels" (Ending Excerpt, 1979)

Views: 1767

Now for some more neat old TV-44 footage!

Here is an excerpt of the ending to The 1 O'Clock Movie presentation of the animated "Gulliver's Travels" on WSNS. (cut-off, sadly) You can hear the same music as in the opening start to fade-up, and we see a flash of what the opening title looked like in color!

Unfortunately (we can always find something to complain about, can't we?) the person who recorded this 29 years ago (who at the time had no idea his recording...
