Here's the good news - someone recorded The Ray Rayner Show at various times in the early seventies! Now the bad news - they only recorded the cartoons, and cut out nearly everything else. :-( I bring you the only snippets left - a few excerpts of the clock that they would show the time on, and in some cases, the chalkboard with the date, weather, and sports scores. Some might wonder why...

Views: 1029

Here's a quick bumper promo for The Mike Douglas Show airing on WSNS Channel 44 weekdays at 5pm starting Monday, April 18th 1977.

Voiceover by Linda Frost.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sun...

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 questio...
