WFLD Station ID - "WFLD-TV Channel 32" (in color) (voiceover by Del Clark) (cut-off - recording ends) :-(

And thus the person who recorded this goes to bed for the evening, looking forward to enjoying the rest of that crazy decade of the seventies... ;-)

Here is the opening of the WGN Friday Night Movie presentation of "Fahrenheit 451" on WGN Channel 9.

Also includes a WGN Globe Station ID at the beginning. Voiceover by Jack Taylor.

Check out the film hair that sticks around at the beginning of the movie. Reminds me of that one cartoon where the character plucks it off the screen during the middle of the action. :-)

This is pretty cool - an old movie opening that they may have used a version of on WFLD - one of WKBD's sister stations.

Here's the opening to The Sunday Movie broadcast of "The Mudlark" on WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. Check out those groovy green graphics. Also includes at the beginning the animated Kaiser Broadcasting ID and a WKBD bumper slide for Father's Day. (voiceover by ??)

WLS Channel 7 - Who's On Call? (Opening, Break & Excerpt, 1979)

Views: 4185

Here's the opening moments of a very little-known (thankfully) (and ultimately failed) pilot called Who's On Call? that aired on WLS Channel 7.

This show is almost like a parody of what a terrible sitcom would be. It has no listing on IMDb.com, and almost no listings on Google. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the only time it aired. Forbesy Russell - this is your time to shine again. ;-)

Includes:

Opening titles with basic premis...

WTTW Channel 11 - Movie 11 - "Threads" (Opening, 1987)

Views: 2094

Here's the opening to a "Movie 11" presentation of Threads - a harrowing, deeply depressing look at the immediate and long-term effects of a full-scale nuclear war. This British film makes The Day After look like an episode of Gilligan's Island.

Just take your ol' Uncle Fuzz' advice - don't ever watch this movie - just don't. You'll feel better, trust me.

Features a quick bit of Fuzzy modification at the end, just for some morbid fun. ;-)
