Spray 'n Wash with Betty White (Commercial, 1976)

Views: 811

Here's a commercial for Spray 'n Wash laundry spot remover featuring Betty White, notable for the fact that it's not mentioned that it's Betty White.

Featuring an "authentic letter from Mrs. John S. Eagle of Redstone Arsenal, Alabama". Still makes me wonder who would write a letter to a cleaning product. Housewives sure were lonely back then.

Here's a partial commercial break from The Addams Family on WFLD Channel 32. Includes:

Good 'N Fruity candy (partial commercial)

Cocoa Puffs (cut off?)

Not sure if the tape was stopped here or if the commercial was just cut-off

Son of Svengoolie - "Dracula's Daughter, Mail Call #1" (1979)

Views: 1425

Here is the first mail call segment for Son of Sven episode number 2 featuring the film "Dracula's Daughter".

I don't think he ever did another show with more than one mail segment. He got so much mail from his first episode he had to have two.

In this segment Sven also suggests that viewers write in to suggest his name - an idea that didn't really take off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, June 23rd 1979.

Views: 2322

Here's a station ID slide for WFLD Channel 32. While this is the "new style" Field-era logo set in Eremitage, the color scheme (with the channel and TV picture shape in white and call letters and city in red) is right out of station ID slides from the Kaiser Broadcasting era such as at the start of this clip from 1977.
