Views: 3099

Here is the British opening for the creepy show Tales of the Unexpected. (The version that ran in America was different). This ran on early Sunday mornings (after Saturday Night Live) at around 12:30 or 1am in Chicago on NBC 5.

"A wise man believes only in lies, trusts only in the absurd, and learns to e...

Here is Part 2 of some footage from the NewsCenter5 airing at 5pm on WMAQ Channel 5, with Mike Jackson, Ron Hunter, and Jerry Taft.

This part features the "5 Minutes" segment with guest Dr. Edward W...

Views: 899

Here's some rare footage from another long-lost local movie show - "The Money Movie" on WSNS TV-44! The movie presented on this day was "China Gate". TMM was similar in concept to Dialing for Dollars. Viewers (mostly lonely housewives and old people from what it sounds like) would send in post cards with their name and phone number, and the host would call them live on the air during the movie breaks to see if they could answer some trivia questions. They answered an easy preliminary questi...
