Views: 1903

Here's the opening and first commercial break for the premiere episode of the very short-lived series Delta House, "The Legacy," on WLS Channel 7.

The program was a spin-off of, and produced by the very same people (and studio) as, the 1978 box-office smash "National Lampoon's Animal House," with John Vernon reprising his role as Faber College's Dean Vernon Wormer from the said movie, as well as Stephen Furst as Kent Dorfman; Bruce McGill as Daniel Simpson Day; and James...

Here's a neat promo for Lost in Space on WFLD Channel 32. The opening super is patterned after the first (released) "Star Wars" movie which was referenced in the intro.

We also see the production slate at the beginning showing that this was number 8977 and was directed by Don Shannon. The promo was recorded on 8-10-77 - eight days after Channel 32's prior owner, Kaiser Broadcasting, was subsumed by original owner Field Communications.

WFLD Channel 32 - Movie For A Saturday Afternoon - "The Kettles On Old McDonald's Farm" (Break #3, 1980)

Views: 1835

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This third segment, with complete commercial break, includes:
