WTTW Channel 11 - Image Union (Ending, 1984)

Views: 1275

Here is the ending to WTTW Channel 11's Image Union featuring "Bob" the cardboard mascot and his gravelly intonation, "Hey! That was a pretty good show - I think I'll watch again NEXT week." :-)

Oh, don't forget the brilliant "Media Burn" by Ant Farm - the short film shown at the end with the car crashing into the burning TV's. I love the music that goes with it too. :-)

Image Union was produced by Tom Weinberg. (Who I believe was also the voice of "Bob")
