10:38 Notice that the term "Black Friday" was not mainstream at this point, despite Don pointing out how post-Thanksgiving sales are the turning point for retailers to make a profit, which is how Black Friday got its name.
Excellent! Complete with Venture, Zayre, and Marshall Fiekd’s commercials. Great upload- thanks!
Commercials for Marshall Field's ( now Macy's) and for a time owned by Target. Mainstreet is now Kohl's Hertz ad w/ O. J. Simpson and Arnold Palmer. RIP Zayre, Montgomery Ward, Venture, McDade. In about a year from this broadcast McDade closed its doors . TJ Maxx started as a division of Zayre. Later Zayre sold its department stores to Ames. The company was renamed TJX Companies in 1988.

RIP Wieboldt's too, but I can remember it being open when I was a child, they had it at the mall in Joliet. I think it closed around 1987,
I grew up in Oak Park and when I was in grade school, I took swimming lessons one year at OPRF High School and Bill Kurtis' daughter did as well. My mom and Bill were sitting with the other parents in the bleachers or whatever they called that seating above the indoor pool. 😂 He lived in North Oak Park at that time I believe because once we saw him at Jewel on North Avenue! 🤣 And this was in the early '70s when Bill and Walter Jacobsen were the #1 anchor team in Chicago!
Fun seeing Ditka and the Bears in their lead up to Super Bowl XX.
1985 I was in College in Wisconsin 🧀. I grew up in Lagrange and Hinsdale. When this aired I was at my Grandmother's with Aunt's and Uncles, good times.
If Bill Kurtiss narrated a two-hour film about Potato Chip Dip, I would be GLUED to the screen!! One of my all-time favorite Docs was, "American Justice." I do not like all the laws, but I love, "the law." It never got any better than that one! ❤
The Venture commercial with the Voltron figures....I still have em at 50 years of age 😂 Thanks mom & dad 😅

Yes Robin Robinson started at WBBM-TV Channel 2 before going to WFLD-TV Channel 32
I was born like a year before this broadcast would have taken place. It blows my mind how different the tone of this broadcast is versus something 2022 current from our state broadcaster, the CBC. It literally blows my mind. Not confrontational and seemingly unladen with agenda. Howie Mandel cameo even 😄

Great to hear a longer version of the iconic Channel 2 News theme by Dick Marx, even with ambient sound in the background of foot traffic. I think by 1985 though, BBM's sister station in NYC, WCBS went with the Palmer News Package.

P.S. During once-and-future Chicago weather legend John Coleman's brief stint with WCBS Channel 2 in New York City (September 1983-August 1984), they used the Dick Marx theme long associated with WBBM. So when he was with WCBS they had TWO Chicago connections. I'm wondering when any tape(s) of one of those WCBS newscasts with Coleman will show up. My remembrance is he seemed rather subdued and sedate compared to his "wild and crazy" WLS days and even after he returned to Chicago via WMAQ. He was largely confined to weekends and fill-in work. They already had Irv "Mr. G" Gikofsky, and by the time Coleman left WCBS they were about to steal away Dr. Frank Field from his longtime home, WNBC Channel 4.
Looks like Richard Kline from Three's Company in the Montgomery Ward commercial at 23:00.
DAAAANG.... Classic, Chic-CAG-go! OMG, and the music at the end! I forgot about the music!!!
Did anyone noticed that instead of using "homeless", they used the word Urban Nomads. An interesting phrasing.
Great uploads. Any chance you have news telecasts from Oct 30, 1985? Details on Michael Jordan's broken foot (@ Golden State)? Thank you from Australia.
Those lower thirds are so much better than today
I miss news anchors that simply tell us what, where and when news happened in a steady, unemotional voice without interjecting their moral outrage like I can't figure out what to think or feel about the story.
18:08 aged like milk
This was before the Monday Night Game loss v Miami
"Urban Nomads"...
I also thought the team of Kurtis, and Jacobson was the best news that Chicago ever had. Years later, they brought it back, and for reasons, I could not figure out it never clicked as it did back then. - As if their timing was off or something.

It reminds me of the late Brother Dave Gardner's routine about the whole "Let's do it again" syndrome. He said . . . "Now, how you gonna do that? Again! You can't do anything again, brother! Once it's done, it's gone, man! You can do something similar . . . " It's a syndrome that has plagued many efforts to re-create the "old days." Think all the rock group reunions that in the end went kablooey . . .

@@wmbrown6 I think your best point is about rock bands! I LOVED Jethro Tull, (Leader Ian Anderson) back in the day. I looked them up here, and good ol Ian just does NOT have it anymore. He delegated some lead vocals to others, but he sang lead a lot and he sounded like CRAP. - No other way to put it!
Wow. Johnny Morris taking the ultimate "tough beat" on his Blue Plate special @28:06. He said take the Eagles and give 6 points against the Vikings. Johnny was looking good with the Eagles up 23-0 with 9 minutes to go. Only to falter and lose 28-23. Would have loved to have been in a Vegas sports book for that one
Whoa!! Howie Mandel!!!
I remember that episode of Murder, She Wrote.

Why did they always seem to use the roughest cuts for those tv show previews?
Wow Voltron at Venture!
Did you know that soviet media didn't report crime, like it didn't existed? There weren't any serial killers and mass shooters either, because they would not get any publicity.
Why was OJ in a disguise at Herz?
Gee I don't know if I would allow anyone to drag me in their car ad take me to Cabrini green.
Ah, MainStreet department stores, the precursor to what is now Kohls and of course Venture and Montgomery Ward, now that big time Kmart/Sears is dead and walmart is near critical disaster maybe now is the time to bring back Montgomery Ward and Venture?
