WFLD Channel 32 - Super Cartoon Sunrise - Popeye Hour (Bumper, 1979?)

Views: 1992

Here's a short bumper for the Popeye Hour on WFLD Channel 32 Super Cartoon Sunrise. Includes a short music sting of the show's theme song, a jazzy, funky, disco-fied, Hammond B3 organ-heavy instrumental arrangement (with a bank of trumpets at the end) of "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here". (anyone know where it came from or who played on it?)

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could find out who the studio musicians were that recorded the music for these bumpers? Anyone out there kn...

WFLD Channel 32 - Super Cartoon Sunrise (Jetsons Bumper #1, 1984)

Views: 1317

Here is a bumper for the Jetsons on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32. This dates to August of 1984.

Voiceover by Jeff Lupetin - "Now back to the Jetsons..."

The curious thing about this bumper (and others to follow) is the black box that the characters are surrounding. First of all, I have to tell you that this bumper is not from an off-air recording. These bumpers were recorded from a master tape recorded at WFLD long ago. So, my first thought was t...

Empire Carpets - "Free Phone" (Commercial, 1984)

Views: 1674

Here's another Empire Carpets commercial, this one touting a free push-button phone (Ooooh!) for their 25th Aniversary. (So they started in 1959 - Holy Cow).

It sounds like they use a different version of the jingle at the end of this one. Could this be the "classic" version - brought out for the Anniversary? (Sounds very similar to the version that Rich Koz parodied in the Son of Svengoolie sketch, "Vampire Carpets".)

This commercial aired on local Chicago TV...

USA Network - "A Kids Best Friend" (Promo, 1984?)

Views: 2558

Here's a promo for the USA Network's Kids lineup, featuring scenes from Calliope, Pumpkin Creek, USA Super Cartoon Saturday (gee, where have we heard that before?), In a Minute, Scholastic Sports Academy, and the USA Cartoon Express.

The music sounds vaguely Genesis-like. :-)

This aired on local Chicago TV in (I believe) 1984.

WFLD Channel 32 - Super Cartoon Sunrise - "The Flintstones" (Bumper #2 with Theme Song, 1984)

Views: 2068

This is the one a lot of people have been waiting for...

Here is a second bumper for The Flintstones on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32. This dates to August of 1984. This version has no voiceover and instead plays a slightly longer snippet of the SCS Theme Song.

This one's also a little different from the Jetsons and Woody bumpers because it has the newer Metromedia 32 logo but also has "WFLD TV" added which the others do not.

In any c...
