Here's a local Detroit commercial that just amused me for some reason. I was thinking it would be funny to overdub a voiceover as to what the customers are saying in this.

"Your Headquarters for Mad Mod Colors and Velvet Wallpaper!"

This aired on local Detroit TV on Thursday, April 7th 1977 (not Chicago TV, but still cool!)

Views: 3467

Here's a short version of the 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. Here he is seen loitering around Wrigley Field in the winter, with his... ball.

Playing the part of the Incredible Hulk is Bob Foal.
