WFLD Channel 32 - Emergency One (Promo, 1977-78)

Views: 2036

Here's a promo for Emergency One (original syndicated title for the 1972-77 series Emergency!) on WFLD Channel 32. This promo, with no voiceover, starts off with the station's then-current "Look At Us!" slogan (with Kaiser-era logo) and shows short segments from various Emergency! episodes.

Since this was from a master tape we can only assume that it would have had a voiceover by Ron Beattie and a super of the WFLD logo and show name at the end, when it ac...

WFLD Channel 32 - Tic Tac Dough - "Screwy Voiceover" (Bumper Promo, 1980)

Views: 3536

Here's a bumper promo for Tic Tac Dough on WFLD Channel 32. The Jim Barton voiceover started late and so we get to hear more of the background Field Communications music than usual.

They also screwed up because Tic Tac Dough wasn't next, Joker's Wild was. (with no Newscene update)

Mercifully, they then cut the whole thing off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, October 27th 1980 at 7:30pm.

WMAQ Channel 5 - Sorting It Out - "Buffalo Farm" (Excerpt, 1975?)

Views: 1848

Here's a rare clip from the WMAQ Channel 5 show Sorting it Out featuring Shelley Long (of Cheers fame).

This clip shows us a buffalo farm in Marengo, IL owned by the Banghart Family (John Banghart and Lynn Banghart) - Coon Creek Farm.

Also mentions George Reed, who runs a neighboring farm, along with his sons Marvin Reed and Paul Reed.

This segment is narrated by co-host of the show, Bob Smith.

Not sure when this aired ...

Way to Go (Part 2a, 1980)

Views: 726

Here is Part 2a of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have aired at other times too.

Gigglesnort Hotel (Opening)

Views: 11741

Here is the opening from one of the best and most remembered Chicago children's shows (although it was eventually syndicated to other markets) - Gigglesnort Hotel.

Even though it was seen for many years after it was produced, the show was only in production for 3 years - 1975, 1976, and 1977. In Chicago, it aired on Sunday mornings on WLS Channel 7.

Views: 1603

Here is Part Two of an "Islands" themed episode of Wild Chicago on WTTW Channel 11. Featuring Ben Hollis as host. I believe this was a compilation of segments from earlier shows all with an islands-related theme. Includes:

Garfield's Fantasy Island II bar at 6011 South State Street.

WLS Channel 7 - Eyewitness News - "Superfan Slims Down" (1980)

Views: 5173

Here's Tim Weigel's sports report and the ending of the WLS Channel 7 Eyewitness News at 10pm. Includes stories on the Chicago Bulls "Superfan" (Jeff Platt) and his dramatic weight loss in an interview with "Big Al" Al Lerner. (I wonder if Platt was the inspiration for the SNL sketch about "The Superfans" featuring George Wendt, Chris Farley and Robert Smigel?) Other stories include Muhammed Ali stumping for President Jimmy Carter, and Mike Schmidt winning the MVP for the World Series.

Here is Part Two of "Good Health In" Wild Chicago on WTTW Channel 11. Featuring Ben Hollis as host. I believe this was a compilation of segments from earlier shows all with a health-related theme. Includes:
