WGN Channel 9 - WGN Presents - "Mutiny On The Bounty" (Ending & Break, 1977)

Views: 5448

Here's something pretty rare - the ending of a WGN Presents airing of "Mutiny on the Bounty" from 1977! You'll notice the graphics used here are the scrolling movie marquee version which we also saw in this example from 1980. I thought they were using an earlier version of the opening in 1977. Actually, I have an example from 1979 that uses the older version's "spotlight" motif with movie stars faces inside them. I gu...

WGN Channel 9 - Give Me Liberty - "Aural Difficulties" (1975?)

Views: 5869

Here's a segment from the made-for-TV movie "Give Me Liberty".

This clip is interesting because it contains a technical difficulties moment when the station lost the sound for the network feed and printed on the screen "Lost Network Sound. Please stand by."

At about the one minute mark and again at the 2 minute 43 second mark you hear two different announcers respectively, who are they? I think I have a clue but I'll let you guys guess.

"Our soun...

Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.

This segment (#1-3) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie answers questions from vi...

Views: 1519

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

In the early days of the show, SYT consisted mainly of voiceover announcements for the movie, which was eventually expanded into full appearances by Svengoolie. Though it's from after that era, this clip gives you a sense of what the program was like i...
