WVTV Channel 18 [Milwaukee, WI] - "Partial EBS Test" (1980)

Views: 2850

Here's a partial test of the Emergency Broadcasting System on an unknown station in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The person was recording some Woody Woodpecker cartoons and although they cut out the commercials they did decide to record most of the EBS test. It's pretty simple, consisting only of a single, rather discolored slide.

Did they have to traumatize kids by airing these tests during cartoons? It seems like they did the same thing in Chicago too from what I recall....

Here is the opening and first minute (before the tape ended) of an episode of the kid's show "Villa Alegre" (Happy Village) on WTTW Channel 11.

Also includes a sponsorship slide for Kraft at the beginning as well as the "Children's Fair" slide with voiceovers by Marty Robinson.

The Lost Snipets - "Homework Now!" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1589

I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. This was an early one, circa 1975. I found something cool to add to this - the circa 1975 title for Snipets, during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! Notice it is a little different from the Field era one that took over in 1977. Enjoy.

This one features an Art-Clokey-esque stop-film animation o...

WGN Channel 9 - Garfield Goose and Friends - "Mama Goose & Cornhusk Dolls" (1974)

Views: 7313

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)

Has anyone tried to track down Ms. Amy Simon who lived on Wesley Avenue in Evanston, IL who has 1 sister (now around 48 years old) and 1 brother (now around 46 years old)? Amy herself would be a...

Views: 1611

Here's Santa Claus, shown here holding a book with children gathered around him, promoting a 976 phone number in which Mrs. Claus would speak with children on the phone while he's out delivering toys. Mrs. Claus is heard by voiceover near the end, going on about how busy Santa is.

Disclaimer shown at end: "Call Rates To Downtown Chicago Apply - By Phone Programs, Illinois." Another voiceover (by ??) advises children to get their parents' permission before calling.

WTTW Channel 11 - Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (Ending, 1983)

Views: 5091

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:

WTTW Promo - Luciano Pavarotti: King of the High C's (ending voice...

Here's the opening for the 1967-70 animated series Spider-Man on WSNS Channel 44 - this was years before it aired on WFLD Channel 32! Includes:

"On Your Station for the Bulls Road Games" ID slide, starting off with a miscue, comprised of a brief snippet of a taped audio promo for Adventures of Superman (voiceover by Linda Frost), followed by the live voiceover (by Linda Frost) advising that Spider-Man will come next, followed by Adventures of Superman
