Views: 1008

Here's some rare footage from another long-lost local movie show - "The Money Movie" on WSNS TV-44! The movie presented on this day was "China Gate". TMM was similar in concept to Dialing for Dollars. Viewers (mostly lonely housewives and old people from what it sounds like) would send in post cards with their name and phone number, and the host would call them live on the air during the movie breaks to see if they could answer some trivia questions. They answered an easy preliminary questi...

Here's a funny sketch from Popeye with Steve Hart on WSNS Channel 44, with Mr. Hart appearing as "Farkus Melby, M.D., D.D.S., Ph.D." (the title of which spoofed that of the 1969-76 medical drama Marcus Welby, M.D. which starred Robert Young and James Brolin), and Nancy Boyle as the nurse who serves as his assistant.

The voiceover (by Bob Hoffmann?) starts off this skit by mentioning that Dr. Melby, the "Challenger of Modern Medicine," is "back from the State Pen [...
