WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Stuff (Part 3, 1985)

Views: 1886

Here's a lost Koz Klassic! - Chicago Stuff - was it a failed pilot? A consolation prize from Fox Television for cancelling Son of Svengoolie a month later? A half-remembered dream? It only aired once, at 10pm on a Sunday in December 1985 - so you couldn't be blamed for not knowing it existed. (I only heard rumors) In any case, it's a neat little package of Rich's schtick, so just think of it as an extremely early episode of The Koz Zone. :-)

WFLD Channel 32 - The Koz Zone - "The Astro-Zombies" - "Beginnings..." (1989)

Views: 756

Here's the first few minutes of the very first Koz Zone episode (before it had a name even) - back when he was really playing up the idea of being a video pirater. The first movie he showed was "The Astro-Zombies" (which he also showed on Son of Svengoolie at one point).

It was an exciting time - waiting for this to come on. It had been years since I had seen Son of Svengoolie or any Rich Koz Komedy at that point, and it was starting to become a fuzzy childhood memory ...

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!

Here's a very tiny snippet of a what appears to be a network news update from WMAQ Channel 5's legendary "Big Tuna," Floyd Kalber. Besides anchoring WMAQ's newscasts, Mr. Kalber for years was the anchor of weekday five-minute news updates that aired on the NBC Network at 11:55am CT (12:55pm ET). This in all likelihood was the last regularly-scheduled network program to originate from Chicago.

Here is Part 1 of the final episode of The Ray Rayner Show as shown on WGN Channel 9. (the first part is from a different source, so the video quality isn't as good as the rest of the parts)

Here he banters a bit with Chelveston the Duck and feeds him out of his hand, then shows a Bugs Bunny cartoon without the opening titles of "Hurdy Gurdy Hare".

Notice the audio cuts out when he says the date at the beginning and later in the clip. This must have been done b...
