WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Stuff (Part 1, 1985)

Views: 2179

Here's a lost Koz Klassic! - Chicago Stuff - was it a failed pilot? A consolation prize from Fox Television for cancelling Son of Svengoolie a month later? A half-remembered dream? It only aired once, at 10pm on a Sunday in December 1985 - so you couldn't be blamed for not knowing it existed. (I only heard rumors) In any case, it's a neat little package of Rich's schtick, so just think of it as an extremely early episode of The Koz Zone. :-)

Here's a goofy holiday greeting/promo featuring The Incredible Hulk running around Chicago holding a giant WGN ball (ornament?). I guess this was supposed to promo the fact that WGN was getting re-runs of the Incredible Hulk show soon.

Playing the part of the Incredible Hulk is Bob Foal.
