Way to Go! Special (Part 4, 1980)

Views: 545

Here is Part 4 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 sure thi...

ABC Network - NCAA Football - Michigan State vs. Iowa (Commercial Break, 1969)

Views: 1903

Here's a commercial break for the ABC Network's airing of the Michigan State vs. Iowa NCAA college football game at Iowa Stadium in Iowa City (part of the Regional Big 10 Battle), with a commercial (which, in those days, was one minute long) for Sunoco - "Stop at Sunoco . . . Go With Confidence."

At the time of this, the only commercial break that was left intact on this recording ( :-( ) which was made on 2" Quad tape at WLS Channel 7, the Michigan State Spartans were leadin...

WFLD Channel 32 - Super Cartoon Sunrise - "The Flintstones" (Bumper #2 with Theme Song, 1984)

Views: 2275

This is the one a lot of people have been waiting for...

Here is a second bumper for The Flintstones on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32. This dates to August of 1984. This version has no voiceover and instead plays a slightly longer snippet of the SCS Theme Song.

This one's also a little different from the Jetsons and Woody bumpers because it has the newer Metromedia 32 logo but also has "WFLD TV" added which the others do not.

In any c...

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 - "ElectroNewsMusik" (Ending, 1976)

Views: 3957

I believe someone asked for this once - the weird electronic music that NewsCenter5 apparently used before they replaced it with a more traditional sounding (yet still Electronic-tinged) theme. So, here's an ending of NewsCenter5 on WMAQ Channel 5 that I found recently that features the music. Also has a voiceover promo by Lorry Young for NBC's Saturday Night (later known as Saturday Night Live) Lastly t...

WFLD Channel 32 - Movie For A Saturday Afternoon - "The Kettles On Old McDonald's Farm" (Ending, 1980)

Views: 1281

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (Previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This last segment, with complete commercial break and ending sequence, includes:
