Views: 2404

Finally, in color! Here's the opening for the Stooges / Rascals Hour on WFLD Channel 32, from an original master tape (which looks like it was transferred from 16mm film) - and therefore with no voiceover. (Previous to this we only had an off-air black-and-white recording of the opening, from 1979)

At the beginning, we briefly see the production slate showing that this was number 8856 and was crea...

Views: 1961

Here is a vintage San Francisco Field Communications ID from before they came out with their animated one. I believe this was the original Field ID style. Note the weird electronic music.

"This is Field Communications, In San Francisco." (Not sure who the announcer is)

This aired on local San Francisco TV in 1978.

Perkins' Fanta-Mals - Ralf - "Production Elements" (1974?)

Views: 1097

Here's kind of a rare oddity - an animated production element for a "coloring book/cut-out paper dolls kit" type toy called Fanta-Mals (or Mini-Mals) by Perkins. This was found on an old 3/4" tape and dates to about 1974 or 1975.

Features the Fanta-Mals mascot - "Ralf", the green monster with the pink umbrella (or in this case, red umbrella)

Not sure how or if this was used in a commercial, since it doesn't show up in the other spots.
