Views: 1400

Here's Part 2 (the final part) of an edition of The Dorsey Connors Show on WNBQ Channel 5 (which, like most shows of this period, is only available via 16mm kinescope film). Ms. Connors, who died on September 5th 2007, was a fixture on Chicago radio and television in the early years of the latter medium, with a daytime program that was along the lines of shows such as that of Lee Phillip on WBBM Channel 2. But whereas Ms. Phillip continually remade herself (and in the process, remain...

Views: 4514

Here is the opening to a rebroadcast of the made-for-tv movie "Forever" starring Stephanie Zimbalist of Remington Steele fame. This is interesting for a number of reasons, but mainly because it features a WBBM Channel 2 weather-crawl warning of thunderstorms for some Wisconsin counties. (How nice of a Chicago station to let them know!)

Hard to believe Stephanie Zimbalist was 21-22 when this movie was filmed.

"From Channel 2 News...The National Weather Service h...

Here's the ending to Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on WTTW Channel 11. This was Episode 1315 which was originally aired in 1973. (first voiceover during the end credits by Marty Robinson)

I love the ending slide with the trolley and episode number - the music that plays during it just takes me back. I probably hadn't heard it in at least 25 years. :-)

Also includes at the end:
