Here's a special FuzzyMemories You Are There (and write the video description) segment. ;-)

A federal judge called an end to the railroad strike.

In Weather, John says a pretty good weekend is coming up.

We see a wide shot of the news set with the weather map...

McDonald's - "Shamrock Shake" (Commercial, 1985)

Views: 2546

Here's another (albeit, oddly short) commercial for McDonald's Shamrock Shake - the perfect treat for St. Patrick's Day or just the start of Spring in general.

Boy, did they really make McDonald's employees wear those awful green uniforms? Were they just a seasonal thing or was this standard issue for many years?

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, March 2nd 1985 during the 10:30pm to 12:00am timeframe.

The Complete Al Green - His Greatest Hits (Record Offer, 1980)

Views: 1391

Here's a record offer commercial for "The Complete Al Green - His Greatest Hits" by SMI (Suffolk Marketing, Inc) (or is it Hi Records Distributed by London?) Album is from 1977 so it's likely this commercial aired a lot earlier than 1980.

The album cover is slightly different at points in the commercial - one has a white border around it and has the Hi Records Distributed by London logo and the other has no border and does not have the Hi Records logo. (?)

WGN Channel 9 - Prime Time Movie - "Song of Bernadette" (Promo, Open, Bumper Excerpts, On-Screen ID & Technical Difficulties Moment, 1979)

Views: 1751

Here's some surviving clips (other than the recording of the film itself) from the "Prime Time Movie" broadcast of "Song of Bernadette" (1943), starring Jennifer Jones, on WGN Channel 9. Though not an Easter movie it often aired during or close to the holiday. All the commercial breaks were cut so this is what was left of interest.

Includes: (all voiceovers by Carl Greyson)

A mostly complete promo for the movie (I assume this aired shortly before it began)

Views: 2436

Here's a commercial for the record and book set - "Night Moves" ("The Professional Approach to Disco Dance Instruction") from K-tel Records which features Deney Terrio (host of Dance Fever and also notably as the person who "taught John Travolta how to dance" for the film Saturday Night Fever)

The nerdy guy kind of reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.

Ending voiceover by ??

Views: 1837

In this spirit of healing the divisions of this country in these contentious times, we bring you this video. :-)

Here is another FuzzyMemoriesTV Exclusive! - a segment from a long-thought-lost concert that was videotaped by NET (National Educational Television, the predecessor to PBS) at Southern Illinois University (SIU) and shown locally in Chicago on WTTW Channel 11 in an installment of a program called "The Sounds Of Summer – Mississippi River Festival".

WTTW Channel 11 - Doctor Who - "The Leisure Hive" (Opening & Technical Difficulties Moment, 1983)

Views: 3359

Here's the opening of the Doctor Who installment, "The Leisure Hive" on WTTW Channel 11, which also includes a technical difficulties moment.

Manning the mic this evening was Ms. Joan Kohn, who barrels through her voiceover like someone who is perhaps not as big a fan of Doctor Who as Marty Robinson. Rumor has it that she was half way out to her car in the parking lot before they told her she had to come back and announce a technical difficulties moment.
