ON TV - "The Cat And The Canary" (Opening, 1982)

Views: 2142

Here's the opening for the ON TV presentation of the Bob Hope movie "The Cat and the Canary". Includes the ON TV logo animation at the beginning, but curiously, no MPAA ratings notice. It couldn't be that it's just an innocuous G-rated film, because they would show the rating even when it was G. Strange.

Views: 1722

Here is another Station ID (but this time in English!) for WCIU Channel 26.

Here's a vintage Pizza Hut ad, which apparently does not feature a pre-Halloween fame Jamie Lee Curtis, as much as I may have thought. ;-)

I'm referring to the girl in the red turtleneck - I thought it really looks like her.
