Here is the opening to an airing of Nanny and the Professor (presenting the episode "The Astronomers") on WPWR Channel 50 and the commercial break that follows, with a sequence of hilariously bad and over-the-top 1-900 phone line commercials - each one more cheesy than the last.

Views: 2980

Now for some more neat old TV-44 footage!

Here is the opening to The 1 O'Clock Movie presentation of the animated "Gulliver's Travels" on WSNS. It probably starts about 7 seconds late, but it's mostly complete. We can see some scenes of famous stars and movies interspersed with the graphics - ones I can make out are Cary Grant in some movie and Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel from the film The Producers. And is that a scene from Metropolis?

Unfortunately (w...
