WLS Channel 7 - Who's On Call? (Opening, Break & Excerpt, 1979)
Views: 4017
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.
This show is almost like a parody of what a terrible sitcom would be. It has no listing on IMDb.com, and almost no listings on Google. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the only time it aired. Forbesy Russell - this is your time to shine again. ;-)

Views: 1202
Here's a promo for the next edition of The Oprah Winfrey Show on WLS Channel 7 to air on Friday (the 21st) at 9am. By this time, the program that had evolved from the local AM Chicago was now nationally syndicated, for a run that would last over two decades. Here, Oprah previews stories of people who endured every hardship imaginable from being lost at sea to being left to die in a foreign country - and lived to tell their tales to her.

WGN Channel 9 - "Season's Greetings From The Hulk At Wrigley Field" (Short Promo #1, 1981)
Views: 3275
Here's a short version of the goofy holiday greeting/promo featuring The Incredible Hulk running around Chicago holding a giant WGN ball (ornament?). I guess this was supposed to promo the fact that WGN was getting re-runs of the Incredible Hulk show soon. Here he is seen loitering around Wrigley Field in the winter, with his... ball.
Playing the part of the Incredible Hulk is Bob Foal.

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)
