WCIX Channel 6 - Snipets - "Handicapped Kid" (1984)

Views: 1586

Here's another rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s. However, with the sale and dissolution of Field starting in 1982, for whatever reason Snipets segments popped up on a few other non-Field or former-Field stations, even as late as 1986!

This particular a...

WGN Channel 9 - Garfield Goose and Friends - "Clutch Cargo" (1971?)

Views: 8967

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...

WLS Channel 7 - Delta House - "The Legacy" (Opening & Break, 1979)

Views: 1909

Here's the opening and first commercial break for the premiere episode of the very short-lived series Delta House, "The Legacy," on WLS Channel 7.

The program was a spin-off of, and produced by the very same people (and studio) as, the 1978 box-office smash "National Lampoon's Animal House," with John Vernon reprising his role as Faber College's Dean Vernon Wormer from the said movie, as well as Stephen Furst as Kent Dorfman; Bruce McGill as Daniel Simpson Day; and James...
