WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Stuff (Part 1, 1985)

Views: 2039

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. :-)

Here, he helps an old lady with one of her packages inside a building while explaining a deal for Chicagoans relating to his restaurants ("The Colonel's Special," an under $3.50 meal which is applicable only to those which have that banner and lasts until February 20th).
