The Wonderful World Of Magic - "Bill Bixby's Trick Solution" (1977?)

Views: 1626

Here's one more clip from the elusive The Wonderful World Of Magic show - the last one I have. This one includes the end of a magic act, the title card that they would show between acts, and one of the Bill Bixby segments where he shows the solution to a trick he posed at the beginning of the show. Also includes a partial end credits before the recording ended. Notice all the French stuff - the Eiffel Tower on the title card, the Arc De Triomphe in the end credits - was the whole ep...

WBKB Channel 7 - Midwest Sports Special - "Inside the World of Hockey with the Chicago Blackhawks" (Part 1, 1964)

Views: 3758

Here's Part 1 of Midwest Sports Special - "Inside the World of Hockey with the Chicago Blackhawks," as aired on WBKB (now WLS) Channel 7. The host of this in-depth look at the team was Frank Sweeney. This was transferred from the original film, and thus has no commercials.

This part begins with the old-style academy leader which counted by feet rather than frames (as opposed to the more common SMPTE Universal film leader). The program itself begins with some shots of ...

WGN Channel 9 - Garfield Goose and Friends - "Clutch Cargo" (1971?)

Views: 8620

Here's an interesting discovery! A 16mm film, found by Mr. Chance Mitchell on Ebay and graciously donated to us - it starts out with a vintage WGN Color Station ID (the same one we saw at the beginning of the Bozo's Circus: The Lost Tape special (albeit with different music), which is why I date this, for lack of a better guess, as from 1971)

Then follows the most complete, and richest-color-looking opening for Garfield Goose and Friends that I have ever seen bef...

WLS Channel 7 - The 3:30 Movie - "Jason And The Argonauts" (Opening, 1978)

Views: 8851

Well, here it is - the opening to The 3:30 Movie on WLS Channel 7!! The movie was "Jason and the Argonauts" - unfortunately the beginning of the film cuts off the last couple seconds of the theme song - which you can hear in the bumpers, which I will post.

Funny, but I've seen these graphics elsewhere - they were also used for the same era's The Late Movie on WLS - except of course for the title change, everything else was the same - same swirling star graphics, ...
