Views: 1901
In honor of opening day for the Chicago Cubs, here's the long-unseen WTTW Channel 11 production of Bleacher Bums. Originally produced in 1979, and set in 1977, this broadcast is from 1984 (the last time it was shown on TV), when the Cubs had a good run at the pennant. Enjoy!

WPWR Channel 50 - Nanny And The Professor - "1-900 Hall of Shame" (Opening & Break, 1991)
Views: 5341
Here is the opening to an airing of Nanny and the Professor (presenting the episode "The Astronomers") on WPWR Channel 50 and the commercial break that follows, with a sequence of hilariously bad and over-the-top 1-900 phone line commercials - each one more cheesy than the last.
Includes:
WPWR Star Trek: The Next Generation bumper promo (ending voiceover by ??)
Opening to Nanny and the Professor
Girl's Talk - 1-900-230-1700 ($...
The Lost Snipets - "Homework Now!" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)
Views: 1589
I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. This was an early one, circa 1975. I found something cool to add to this - the circa 1975 title for Snipets, during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! Notice it is a little different from the Field era one that took over in 1977. Enjoy.
This one features an Art-Clokey-esque stop-film animation o...
Mr. Steak (Commercial #1, 1975)
Views: 22374
Here's a commercial for another long-gone restaurant that had locations in the Chicagoland area - Mister Steak. (no, not Mr. Beef!)
The production slate at the beginning shows that this was produced at WFLD Channel 32, and we see the Kaiser Broadcasting Company logo as well. This was number 7541 (I wonder what the significance of these numbers were exactly?) and was directed by Don Shannon. Record date was 5-19-75.
Looks like the sign says "America's Favorite ...

Here's another, shorter commercial for a long-gone restaurant that had locations in the Chicagoland area - Mister Steak. (no, not Mr. Beef!)
The production slate at the beginning shows that this was produced at WFLD Channel 32, and we see the Kaiser Broadcasting Company logo as well. This was number 7573 (I wonder what the significance of these numbers were exactly?) and was directed by Don Shannon. Record date was 6-27-75.

Harris Bank - Internal Promotional Film (Workprint) (Part 3, 1982)
Views: 3071
Here's the third and final part of something pretty neat and rare - a workprint of an internal promotional film from Harris Bank of Chicago, titled Honesty and Fair Dealing: An Introduction to the Harris Bank and the People Who Make It Work, produced for the company's 100th anniversary in 1982. (although maybe it's just the slightly washed-out and dirty work print, this almost seems like it could be from about 1977 - right down to the funky music. I do know that bank culture always se...
