NBC Network - Mr. Smith - "Dial-An-Ape" (1983)
Views: 4913
Here's a promo for the short-lived NBC program Mr. Smith, about a talking orangutan. I guess they thought it would be a good idea to try and charge people 50 cents to hear what he had to say on the phone at 1-900-40-SMITH. The show lasted less than two months.

WLS Channel 7 - Who's On Call? (Opening, Break & Excerpt, 1979)
Views: 4026
Here's the opening moments of a very little-known (thankfully) (and ultimately failed) pilot called Who's On Call? that aired on WLS Channel 7.

Mr. Steak (Commercial #1, 1975)
Views: 22386
Here's a commercial for another long-gone restaurant that had locations in the Chicagoland area - Mister Steak. (no, not Mr. Beef!)
The production slate at the beginning shows that this was produced at WFLD Channel 32, and we see the Kaiser Broadcasting Company logo as well. This was number 7541 (I wonder what the significance of these numbers were exactly?) and was directed by Don Shannon. Record date was 5-19-75.
Looks like the sign says "America's Favorite ...
