Views: 1946

Here's Part 3 of an episode of the Hot Fudge Show - which was produced in Detroit but also aired all over the country, including Chicago on WFLD, WSNS, and WLS, at various times during the 70's and early 80's.

This segment features another sketch with Arte Johnson and the Mitts and the Hot Fudge Newsreel Show featuring a visit to a paper-making plant.

Despite what the IMDB entry and Wikipedia entries say, the show began in 1974, as this episode is from that year ...

Way to Go (Part 1, 1980)

Views: 534

Here is Part 1 of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980. Peter Kastner is the host.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have aired at other times too.

Not sure if thi...

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

Views: 1856

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...

18 Golden Hits of 1976 (Record Offer, 1977)

Views: 3767

Here's a record offer for "18 Golden Hits of 1976" with songs performed by "The Sound Effects" (or "The original Sound Effects" as the announcer helpfully mentions). It's another album of knock-offs (although at least from this ad, not quite as bad as the infamous "Muskrat Love" collection)

"After you forget all about the Bicentennial, this is what you'll remember 1976 for..."

Here's a technical-difficulty moment that plagued WZTV Channel 17 in Nashville, Tennessee during the airing of the I Dream of Jeannie episode "Nobody Loves a Fat Astronaut" (originally aired on the NBC network on March 17th 1969) with Barbara Eden as both the title character and her evil sister, Jeannie II.
