WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Stuff (Part 3, 1985)

Views: 1865

Here's a lost Koz Klassic! - Chicago Stuff - was it a failed pilot? A consolation prize from Fox Television for cancelling Son of Svengoolie a month later? A half-remembered dream? It only aired once, at 10pm on a Sunday in December 1985 - so you couldn't be blamed for not knowing it existed. (I only heard rumors) In any case, it's a neat little package of Rich's schtick, so just think of it as an extremely early episode of The Koz Zone. :-)

Views: 2070

Ah, another teeny-tiny glimpse of glorious WFLD-TV kids programming from the late-seventies / early-eighties. Sure wish this guy let the tape run out, considering this was the last thing he recorded on the tape. But alas, he had to preserve 5-10 minutes of blank tape for 35 years. ;-)

Here's the ending moments of an episode of Tennessee Tuxedo on WFLD Channel 32.

A note on naming, from our researcher Chris Tufts: "As I recall WFLD billed ...
