Views: 1646

Here's one more clip from the elusive The Wonderful World Of Magic show - the last one I have. This one includes the end of a magic act, the title card that they would show between acts, and one of the Bill Bixby segments where he shows the solution to a trick he posed at the beginning of the show. Also includes a partial end credits before the recording ended. Notice all the French stuff - the Eiffel Tower on the title card, the Arc De Triomphe in the end credits - was the whole ep...

WFLD Channel 32 - Super Cartoon Sunrise - "Popeye" (Bumper, 1984)

Views: 947

Here is a bumper for Popeye on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32.

Voiceover by Jeff Lupetin - "Now back to Popeye..."

Secondly, the animation is more pronounced in this version - look at the "sparkle" effects on the 32 logo and around the clock box. This wasn't seen in the other bump...
