Here's the (almost) complete broadcast of an example of Saturday mornings on the ABC Network in the early 1990s, as shown on WLS Channel 7 - an episode of the rebooted Land of the Lost, "The Sorceress" (S02E01), followed by an installment of the animated series Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa, "Dances With Bulls" (S01E11) (both reruns from their first airings a month or two earlier)
Modification Notice: The last ten minutes of this video were spliced in from another source since the original recording had ended before the Moo Mesa episode had completed.
On the former - with Timothy Bottoms, Jennifer Drugan and Robert Gavin in the roles of a present-day family trapped in prehistoric times - they befriend a banished sorceress (Adilah Barnes) who repays their kindness by giving Tasha the ability to speak (in the voice of Danny Mann); on the latter, a gang of lizards called the Gila Hooligans (a couple of which sound like The Beatles) commit a robbery of the re-election party for Mayor Bulloney, and they tie Marshall Moo and Sheriff Terrible together.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
