Here's the opening, preview breaks and ending moments of an episode of the TV series Hunter.

And no, folks, this is not the 1984-91 series on NBC (and thus, seen by Chicagoans on WMAQ Channel 5) with Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer, but a virtually forgotten, short-lived series - "A Lorimar Production" (the company famous at the time for The Waltons and, later, for Dallas and Knots Landing) - that ran on the CBS Network and therefore aired in Chica...

Son of Svengoolie - "The Sven-eymooners" - "A Visit To The Sewer" (1980?)

Views: 745

Here's a classic segment from Son of Sven - The Sven-eymooners sketch "A Visit To The Sewer". (parody of The Honeymooners)

Not sure what episode this was originally from but based on Sven mentioning the movie "Yongary, Monster from the Deep", I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that this was the movie being shown that week, which first aired on episode number 65.

This likely aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, October 4th 1980.

NBC Network - Mr. Smith - "Dial-An-Ape" (1983)

Views: 4909

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.

"All New! Message #2"

This promo aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, September 20th 1983 at a couple minutes before 10pm.
