Views: 1046

Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.

This segment (#1-2) is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

This segment starts off with Svengoolie on the phone ...

WFLD Channel 32 - Sci-Fi Cinema (Promo, 1971)

Views: 1536

Here's another extreme rarity - a promo for Sci-Fi Cinema on WFLD Channel 32, which apparently aired at the time on Saturdays at 1pm and 6pm and Sundays at 1pm.

Notice that the color comes on at the end of this promo. This is something I haven't been able to figure out on this really old material. On some of it, if the program was in black and white originally, then the commercial breaks will be in black and white too, except occasionally the color will come on. I really don...

Dads Root Beer - "New Plastic Bottles" (Commercial, 1978)

Views: 1986

Here's a commercial for foamy Dads Root Beer (or is it Dad's Root Beer?) in the new plastic 2 liter bottle. Starring little Mindy Blank who was about 6 years old at the time.

Her mom found this commercial (which was originally in a break for the WLS 3:30 Movie presentation of "Jason and the Argonauts") through a web search and wrote to me. She was nice enough to share some of the story of how Mindy wound up in the commercial.
