Views: 5762

Here is the opening 8 minutes of Game 1 of the 1983 American League Championship Series, which was played between the Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles.

You get to see the cool Channel 32 graphics for their Sox coverage at the time, as well as the starting lineups and opening banter by announcers Don Drysdale and Ken Harrelson.

(By the way, the Sox won this game 2-1, but lost the series 3-1) :-(

Views: 714

Here's the opening segment of another rare, surviving edition of Popeye with Steve Hart on WSNS Channel 44. This was from the original master tape. According to the notes in with the tape, this was "Show #2". Notice they had not developed an opening with a theme song yet.

Views: 2999

Here's a bumper for the ABC Tuesday Movie of the Week.

They used this for a long time in the 70s, right? I'm surprised it was still being used as late as this airing. The movie, which ended after midnight, was "Three on a Date".

This aired on local Chicago TV early Wednesday, February 25th 1981.

WBBM Channel 2 - "Thunderstorms Forever" (1979)

Views: 4510

Here is the opening to a rebroadcast of the made-for-tv movie "Forever" starring Stephanie Zimbalist of Remington Steele fame. This is interesting for a number of reasons, but mainly because it features a WBBM Channel 2 weather-crawl warning of thunderstorms for some Wisconsin counties. (How nice of a Chicago station to let them know!)

Hard to believe Stephanie Zimbalist was 21-22 when this movie was filmed.

Here's an animated 10-second commercial for Karoll's Red Hanger Shops, a men's custom tailored clothing shop with as many as 14 stores (including their flagship at State and Washington) before closing in the late 1980's. In this holiday-themed spot, elves bring the Karoll's name to a platform, followed by Santa materializing over the apostrophe and pulling a chain below a cloud to reveal the holiday wishes.
