It must be static-y Nite-Owl excerpt week because I found another one - a really brief one where you can make out the Program Lineup they were showing for WFLD later that day (I didn't know they would show this!) before the channel switched to what looks like a scrambled movie.

Rest In Peace, Jim "Moose" Murphy - The Picnic Permit King (1949-2009)

Views: 5120

We now pay our respects to a man who was very comforting to us in his regularity. When you saw a report like this you knew another year had passed.

Here is a news segment detailing the first time Jim "Moose" Murphy waited in line for his Cook County Forest Preserve picnic permit. Interesting to watch because it also notes that in 1983 Moose beat out another long-time holder of the "first in line" crown - a man named Elmer Tucker, who had been first for 10 years in a row from ...

Views: 3035

Here's another Burger King commercial with future film star Elisabeth Shue, in which she explains that, according to a poll, flame-broiling beats frying by a 3-to-1 ratio - and Burger King does the former.

(Other Burger King commercials with Ms. Shue can be found here and here.)

She can butter my burger any day.

KBHK Channel 44 - Son of Svengoolie - "Son Of Frankenstein" (Opening, 1983)

Views: 2287

Here's an interesting bit of Sven history - the opening to the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Son of Frankenstein" on one of the Field Communications affilliates - KBHK Channel 44 in San Francisco.

It would be interesting to find out when this bit aired on the WFLD version of "Son of". It's pretty clear that they dubbed in the Tombstone segment at the end just for the KBHK audience.

They must have had different movie packages at different times because the ...
