WMAQ Channel 5 - Movie 5 - "The Ape Man" (Opening & PSA's, 1988)

Here is the opening of a late movie feature of "The Ape Man" on WMAQ Channel 5. It starts out with some kind of time-filler - a Channel 5 logo over some rock music which goes on for over a minute, and then the opening to the "Movie 5" begins - I've seen this opening before used in New York so I think it was a national thing.

Then, strangely, between the Movie 5 opening and the start of the film, they show the following PSA's:

U.S. Postal Service featuring Ann Robinson - Consumer Advocate (Reminds me of a joke - "I once knew a lady who got attacked by a guard dog.." "Oh, Doberman Pincher?" "No, he bit her!" ;-)

State of Illiinois - Department of Children and Family Services - Be a Foster Parent - "One Free Kid"

Easter Seals

Peace Corps - The Toughest Job You'll Ever Love

This aired on local Chicago TV early Sunday, January 31st 1988 at 3 AM.
