WTTW Channel 11 - "Profane Pledge" (1980)
Views: 3298
Here's the ending of The Great Radio Comedians (end credits cut off early) followed by a neat vintage pledge break on WTTW Channel 11. Features Michael Hirsh, who was also the producer of the highly-regarded documentary special "Making M*A*S*H". In between asking for donations, Mike shows some blooper outtakes from M*A*S*H, including a couple with a few bad words, which necessitates the standard disclaimer:
**Warning: May be slightly inappropriate for some environme...
WGN Channel 9 - Garfield Goose and Friends - "Clutch Cargo" (1971?)
Views: 8973
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...

A true fuzzy memory (since the reception was pretty bad) - here's Commercial Break #1 from the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Attack of the Mushroom People" on WFLD Channel 32, which features Chicago Radio DJ Bobby Skafish (doing his best Mick Jagger impersonation - well, physically - not vocally) and "The Not-Ready-For-VHF Blues Band" performing his singing tribute to Sven. (the song Bobby sings is a parody of the old blues song "The Seventh Son" by Willie Dixon)

Views: 1807
WE FOUND ANOTHER LOST SNIPETS SEGMENT AS AIRED ON WFLD CHANNEL 32! (Well, unfortunately it is one we have already seen before from another station and in a non-Snipets form, as listed below - however this new discovery does push back the latest time that a Snipets segment has been confirmed to have aired on WFLD. Previous to this, the latest confirmed WFLD airing was during the last week of July 1980.)
Here's a complete version of "The Granola Chef...
