I noticed they were still using the teletype sound in the background. Was this just a prop or were they still using teletype machines back then??
Yes, because Beverly Griffith could afford to live in Wicker Park with that wealthy, high-profile gig.
All us Black folks like things thick and rich. 😅
Remember when they said "No Future"? Well, this is it.
I remember John Drury, Joel Daley, Fahey Flynn, John Coleman, Tim Weigel on ABC-7 Chicago. Taft, Giangreco and Rose too. I was 9½ when this one aired, though I don't remember watching much national news.
That VCR would cost $525 in 2024 😂
He looks like in 1974
Seeing this, it reminds me a bit of the "Big Apple Minutes" WNEW Channel 5 in New York used to run.
It’s a nuclear bomb and he tells the reporter stand back.
Thanks Lukinspire

Bozo 🤡don’t get too close to it you might fall in hahaha 😆
How nostalgic is this? Unreal.....
I remember Chicago Is…….. right before WGN sign off.
I'm already falling asleep
Looks like 2024
Chicago has great Harry's harry carry Aswell cubs game Ford commercial golden memorys
I remember him on TV when I was a kid great commercials wish more like him and those prices
Mary should have developed this into a weekly series.
Do you remember seeing the "Chicago is..." shorts following WGN airing movies as well?
I really miss that Time magazine commercial❤
What a cool neighborhood. Hope it still looks as charming.
Wicker Park is gentrified now but it's still beautiful
This has that classic WGN feel stamped all over it. What a fantastic find and post!

🎼Look at what's happened to me I can't believe it myself Suddenly I'm up on top of the world It should have been somebody else🎶
The announcer was Clif Mercer. Garry Meier did an impression/ impersonation of him as "Cliff"
We know on the segment itself, Mr. Mercer was the announcer, but who V/O'd the intro as the Bugs Bunny bumper was shown?
The great Ron Rolland. A dear friend and I miss him tremendously.

It would have been really ironic if that Listermint ad with Ms. Duffy were to have aired on an episode of "The Bob Newhart Show" - given her co-starring on his later series "Newhart."
LOL!!! That Formula 44D commercial. I haven't seen it in over 40 years, but I remembered every line!
I was about nine or ten years old when this show was on. I remember watching it but completely forgot about it. It is sad that Peter Deuel died a few years later.
This jingle has stuck in my head all these years; it's great hearing it again.
Is it just me, or does this have the feel of a newscast from before Roone Arledge took over the reins at ABC News?
this show scared the living patoot out of me!

Did anyone from KGO ever do these weekend newscasts? (If so, I'd imagine it would have been Jerry Jensen or Van Amburg.) I think I've seen someone from all the other O&Os.
More likely Jerry Jensen. But it begs the question: Who among the KABC anchors in L.A. did ABC weekend newscasts?
In 1977 ABC broadcast its national feed from both Chicago and NYC. This is when Chicago was still the second largest city in the country and The Chicago Tribune was a legacy newspaper that rivaled The NY Times. In other words, Chicago was still an influential city. But Drury signs off from NYC.
Drury says he is in New York during his signoff.
@@tkaye2 Yes It was 1979 thst max Robinson was doing World News Tonight from Chicago.
Chicago still *is* an influential city, you muppet.
This broadcast was only 14 minutes long? I thought all news broadcasts were 22 minutes long minus the commercials.
Not on the weekend.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV - And not just ABC. CBS' late Sunday night newscasts were also 15 minutes (including commercials, of course). Except CBS used its own "talent" (such as Dan Rather or Morton Dean or Bob Schieffer). NBC was the only network not to have any late-night weekend newscasts of 15 minutes' duration.
@@FuzzyMemoriesTV Well maybe in the 1970's, but today it's not.
Just came across this in a transcription of this interview in Famous Monsters issue 133 and now here I am. Nice to be able to actually see it for myself.
Julia Duffy pushing Listermint.
very pretty
Holland Taylor for Woolite
This was crazy misogynistic. I remember it like that. I think i was 11 or 13 when these commercials came out.
