Northwest Federal Savings - "The Tax Savings Place" (Commercial, 1981)

Views: 537

Here's a commercial for Northwest Federal Savings advertising their new Tax Free CD (which in those days only meant "certificate of deposit" - the Compact Disc wasn't introduced until a year later). Note how one of the business-suited people sheds his suit and leaves that crowd to join the more middle-class crowd nearby. As noted in a lower-third text, the terms are $500 minimum deposit, one year term, penalty for early withdrawal. (Ah, the days . . . )

The Reluctant Robot (Part 1, 1980)

Views: 1318

Here is Part 1 from another all but forgotten Field Communications special production - The Reluctant Robot. It was produced to get kids interested in Astronomical Science; pulsars, planets, space travel, etc. You can definitely see the influence from Star Wars a couple years earlier. The budget must not have been too great because the whole thing comes off as feeling like an episode of Dr. Who. (not that there's anything *wrong* with that) ;-)

Once again, I am pretty sure...

WMAQ Channel 5 - Movie 5 - "The Ape Man" (Opening & PSA's, 1988)

Views: 3218

Here is the opening of a late movie feature of "The Ape Man" on WMAQ Channel 5. It starts out with some kind of time-filler - a Channel 5 logo over some rock music which goes on for over a minute, and then the opening to the "Movie 5" begins - I've seen this opening before used in New York so I think it was a national thing.

Then, strangely, between the Movie 5 opening and the start of the film, they show the following PSA's:
