WFLD Channel 32 - Emergency One (Promo, 1977-78)

Views: 1861

Here's a promo for Emergency One (original syndicated title for the 1972-77 series Emergency!) on WFLD Channel 32. This promo, with no voiceover, starts off with the station's then-current "Look At Us!" slogan (with Kaiser-era logo) and shows short segments from various Emergency! episodes.

Since this was from a master tape we can only assume that it would have had a voiceover by Ron Beattie and a super of the WFLD logo and show name at the end, when it ac...

The notable thing about this episode was that there's no Sven - Rich was absent for some reason and so Doug fills in as host.

Anyone know the real name of the song that Doug does a parody of? Is it by Alan Parsons Project?

Views: 5338

Here is a very brief glimpse of a bumper for the WGN Channel 9 Saturday Matinee - at the end of a presentation of "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein".

If you pause the video at the right spot, you can see the yellow Saturday Matinee slide featuring a movie camera. This is the only example of this bumper or opening we have right now.

Not sure of the date, but this probably aired on local Chicago TV in late 1981 (around Halloween?) or perhaps 1982.
