Views: 2853

Here's a Chicago White Sox promo for White Sox / Coca-Cola Bat Day on Sunday, April 9th at (the original) Comiskey Park, during the White Sox vs. Boston Red Sox matchup. Featuring Bobby Bonds (whose son, Barry Bonds, later became a home-run legend himself) with a young fan.

"If you're one of the first 15,000 kids under 14, and accompanied by a paid adult, you will get a Bobby Bonds-style Little League bat - just like this one, compliments of Coke and the White Sox."

Views: 1090

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This first segment, a partial commercial break includes:

Partial Commercial: Life cereal - "...

WCIU Channel 26 - The Ginny Tiu Show (Part 1, 1969)

Views: 3128

Here's Part 1 of The Ginny Tiu Show which aired on WCIU Channel 26. Ms. Tiu was a child prodigy pianist whose chief claim to fame was playing by ear and not being able to read a note, and who was a familiar presence on such 1960's TV series as The Ed Sullivan Show, Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall, and a 1966 episode of I've Got a Secret (from Steve Allen's run as host), as well as appearing in the 1962 Elvis Presley film Girls! Girls! Girls! In later years, ...

Views: 2434

Here's a special Independence Day treat - a Bozo's Circus salute to the 4th of July as aired on that day in 1978 on WGN Channel 9. Introduced by Frazier Thomas, with performers from The Diana School of Dance, (and featuring a patriotic Cooky and Bozo cameo appearance at the end!)

An amazing time-capsule! Just when you think it's over, it continues. ;-) Watch the baton-twirler boy as he misses his mark a few times, but recovers nicely.

For the ke...

Here's another small but juicy rarity - another ending credits for an airing of Fernwood 2 Night on WFLD Channel 32 - back in the Kaiser era!

You can hear 32's staff announcer give you a short promo of the upcoming episode of "All That Glitters" (a short-lived Norman Lear series) that was next, as well as a promo for tomorrow night's episode of Fernwood. Lastly, you get to see the old Kaiser-era WFLD logo and another partial ID!

I think the announcer may be 32's...

WCIU Channel 26 - The Warren Freiberg Show (Part 3, 1981)

Views: 2571

Here's Part 3 of an episode of The Warren Freiberg Show on WCIU Channel 26. In case you weren't familiar with him, Warren Freiberg had some rather "extreme" and "fringe" opinions. He had a radio show, and you may also remember him turning up in little vignettes on Steve Dahl's "It's Too Early" show from 1983.

This part features Warren and Libby talking with video-recording pioneer (and comic book store pioneer) Larry Charet (yes, the legendary man who accidently recorded the Th...
