The Reluctant Robot (Part 8, 1980)
Views: 2286
Here is the 8th and final part from another all but forgotten Field Communications special production - The Reluctant Robot. It was produced to get kids interested in Astronomical Science; pulsars, planets, space travel, etc. You can definitely see the influence from Star Wars a couple years earlier. The budget must not have been too great because the whole thing comes off as feeling like an episode of Dr. Who. (not that there's anything *wrong* with that) ;-)

Field Communications - "Old Style Chicago" - A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation (Station ID, 1978)
Views: 1820
Here is a (slight) re-creation of the vintage Chicago Field Communications ID (pre-1979) from before they came out with their animated one. I believe this was the original Field ID style. Note the weird electronic music.
I used the original video of the ID from the San Francisco version, which was recorded in 1978, along with the audio from

Way to Go! Special (Part 1, 1980)
Views: 478
Here is Part 1 of the Field Communications produced Way to Go! Special - an hour long (compilation?) showcase of some special kids and what they do. Has a lot of nice little slices of late seventies life as a kid. :-) The tape was dated May of 1980. My contact says that only a few of these "Specials" were made. Like I said, I'm not sure if these were compilations of segments shown on the regular Way to Go program, or if they were specifically produced for these specials. I am pretty sur...
