Views: 300

Here's a later sequel to the famous "Keep America Beautiful" PSA with Iron Eyes Cody as the "Crying Indian" (derived from his reaction to the despoiling of the land around him from litter left on the ground and traffic passing by on a nearby road). This campaign (including a longer version seen elsewhere over the web) was first shown in 1971 and ran for many years afterward.

Way to Go (Part 4, 1980)

Here is Part 4 (the final part) 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 ...

Views: 461

Here's a public service announcement for the Epilepsy Foundation of America, with shots of a little girl (not in a car seat or with a seat belt!) climbing over the seats inside a car, a child skateboarder, and a man on a motorcycle. The voiceover mentions that main causes of acquired epilepsy are falls and other accidents, and advises wearing seat belts and helmets to prevent it. The ending shot before the address is shown, is a fall victim being put in an ambulance.

WFLD Channel 32 - All in the Family (Bumpers, 1981)

Views: 1420

Here are two more examples of the old WFLD Field-style Zoomin' bumpers that I edited together - this time for All in the Family on WFLD Channel 32, both of which have a snippet of the closing theme "Remembering You" (written by series star Carroll O'Connor and Roger Kellaway). The first bumper has a still of Archie (O'Connor) and Edith (Jean Stapleton), and the second has a still of Archie and Edith with Mike (Rob Reiner) and Gloria (Sally Struthers); both stills date to the mid-1970'...

WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Black Hawks Vs. Boston Bruins (Excerpts, 1976)

Views: 5029

Here are some selected excerpts of the Chicago Black Hawks / Boston Bruins game on WFLD Channel 32, played at Boston Garden in Boston, MA. This was from an original 2" Quad master tape, and though the "recorded date" says 3-31-76, this game was broadcast on 3-25-76. I think someone, perhaps Don Shannon (who directed this telecast) made this compilation of excerpts from the original tape(s) on the 31st (or perhaps it was done live? That wouldn't account for the 3-31-76 date though) In any ...
