Views: 2698

Here are some recordings made on the night that the death of British comic actor Peter Sellers was reported in Chicago. Features Walter Jacobson, Fahey Flynn, John Drury, Gene Siskel, and Carrie Cochran - as well as some short clips from a few of his best known movie roles.

*Note*: Peter Sellers is usually reported to have died on 7/24/80, and this is because it was after midnight in London that he died. So, these clips actually aired on 7/23/80 since Chicago is 6 hours behin...

WFLD Channel 32 - Oak Park Village Mall (Commercial #2, 1976)

Views: 1618

Here's another short 10 second spot for the Oak Park Village Mall. Remember this? When they blocked off Lake Street and created an outdoor "mall" much in the way they did with State Street?

This was produced at WFLD Channel 32 during the Kaiser Broadcasting Company days, and was directed by Don Shannon. It was recorded on 6-30-76.

"...a beautiful place to shop"

This likely aired on local Chicago TV in July of 1976.

The Most Important Person - "Why Not Try?" (1972)

Views: 1421

Here is a segment of the animated short "The Most Important Person". This one's called "Why Not Try?". (color's a bit off - there's an off-air version with slight variations and better color here)

These aired on WFLD Channel 32 and WTTW Channel 11 during the late-seventies and possibly as late as the early eighties? (And, I'm sure, on many other local stations)

Here is the ending for The Three Stooges short "Spooks!", followed immediately by the ending of The Stooges Rascals Hour on WFLD Channel 32. (voiceover by Dr. Don) (I don't believe there was a tape edit - I think WFLD ended "Spooks!" like this and went straight into the Stooges Rascals ending)
