Gigglesnort Hotel (Opening)

Views: 11519

Here is the opening from one of the best and most remembered Chicago children's shows (although it was eventually syndicated to other markets) - Gigglesnort Hotel.

Even though it was seen for many years after it was produced, the show was only in production for 3 years - 1975, 1976, and 1977. In Chicago, it aired on Sunday mornings on WLS Channel 7.

Bring back the fun!

WTTW Channel 11 - Movie 11 - "Threads" (Opening, 1987)

Views: 1864

Here's the opening to a "Movie 11" presentation of Threads - a harrowing, deeply depressing look at the immediate and long-term effects of a full-scale nuclear war. This British film makes The Day After look like an episode of Gilligan's Island.

Just take your ol' Uncle Fuzz' advice - don't ever watch this movie - just don't. You'll feel better, trust me.

Features a quick bit of Fuzzy modification at the end, just for some morbid fun. ;-)

Here's a bumper showing the very first version of the WGN Presents graphics! This version was used for many years on WGN Channel 9 going back well into the seventies.

This must have been a transitional period where they would alternate between the older WGN Presents graphics and the newer one, since we have seen that earlier in May of 1980 they were already using the new graphics at least in some cases.
