WTTW Channel 11 - "Profane Pledge" (1980)
Views: 3452
Here's the ending of The Great Radio Comedians (end credits cut off early) followed by a neat vintage pledge break on WTTW Channel 11. Features Michael Hirsh, who was also the producer of the highly-regarded documentary special "Making M*A*S*H". In between asking for donations, Mike shows some blooper outtakes from M*A*S*H, including a couple with a few bad words, which necessitates the standard disclaimer:
**Warning: May be slightly inappropriate for some environme...

Views: 984
Here is Part 4 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.
Featuring:
The Day After Christmas Complaint Department (must be from Dec. 1983, since this is a reference to The Day After movie that aired in November of that year and was big news.) (inc...

WWJ Channel 4 - "Partial Station Sign-Off" (1978)
Views: 8159
At the end of a tape, after a recording of a movie ended, there was a bit of a previous recording that was taped over.

In the static you can hear bleeding through what perhaps was on another channel at the same time (during the static the tape kept speeding up which is why the audio races at times)
RetroNewfoundland (Vintage Canada) was enterprising enough to slow down the audio heard a...
