Lincoln Carpeting (Commercial, 1979)

Views: 2678

Here is a vintage Lincoln Carpeting commercial from 1979 - starring the legendary Al Parker - the voice of WLS-TV for most of the 1980's.

Notice there's no Lincoln jingle - had they started using it yet?

"Bright Orange Carpeting - for the Living Room!" :-)

This commercial aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, November 4th 1979. (28 years ago today!!!)

WMAQ Channel 5 - "Memory" (1984)

Views: 3622

Here's a video montage (missing beginning part) that WMAQ Channel 5 used as part of their sign-off apparently for a few years. It features the song "Memory" from the musical "Cats", and showcases Chicagoland senior citizens and various aspects in their lives. Kind of a strange thing to show during sign-off. I mean, for what purpose was this made? Other than to make you realize that your life is going by as you watch TV at 3 in the morning before the station signs-off? ;-)

WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Stuff (Part 3, 1985)

Views: 2148

Here's a lost Koz Klassic! - Chicago Stuff - was it a failed pilot? A consolation prize from Fox Television for cancelling Son of Svengoolie a month later? A half-remembered dream? It only aired once, at 10pm on a Sunday in December 1985 - so you couldn't be blamed for not knowing it existed. (I only heard rumors) In any case, it's a neat little package of Rich's schtick, so just think of it as an extremely early episode of The Koz Zone. :-)
