WFLD Channel 32 - "Mighty Woodpecker" (Opening Screw-Up, 1981)

Views: 2198

Here's the opening for what was supposed to be Mighty Mouse on WFLD Channel 32, but instead they played the opening video for Woody Woodpecker. The voiceover by Dr. Don is correct though.

The screw-up likely occured because Mighty Mouse had replaced Woody Woodpecker in this timeslot about a month prior to this airing.

Notice, the font on the WFLD Woody Woodpecker logo is a bit different than the more rounded design
