Here's one of only a few existing Garfield Goose and Friends segments, this one featuring a visit from Mama Goose as well as Hobby Corner with Amy Simon and her cornhusk dolls. All the cartoon and non-studio segments have been removed. (I assume this wasn't from an off-air recording)

Here's the original opening titles for Newscene with Kathy McFarland on WFLD Channel 32. This was from a studio tape, so that's all there is.

You can hear the music was a little reminiscent of the opening to the CBS In the News segments. Also, this theme differs from one heard in a later Newscene opening.

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!

Some might wonder why...
