History and Memories of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio Television and Radio from the 1940's-1980's..Dedicated to preserving the Broadcast Heritage of Northeast Ohio..
Great video. Always fun to see things like that.Did you notice that the husband in the commercial for Lemon Joy Dishwashing Soap was Bob McGrath from Sesame Street? I kept waiting for him to pull out three clean dishes and a dirty one and sing "One of these things is not like the other . . ."And I do believe that was Audrey Landers in the Puffs commercial.
Geez, 30 years have gone by since this show aired. Finerty went on to PM Magazine at the station. Where is he now? Kathy Adams went on to the then Storer station in Detroit when GM Bill Flynn took over that station. Where is she? McLeod went there too. Main anchors Jim Hale and Jeff Maynor were fired and demoted, respectively. Main sportscaster Jim Mueller was ultimately canned. Of course Goddard is still alive and kicking...sort of :) Those were great, fun days. We took on the "giant", WEWS, and ultimately overtook them. Channel 8 hasn't looked back since. And now they're being sold...once again. Best to everyone.Tony Ballewtonyb@cbstv2.com
I was over at the deadmalls (Dot) com website, and noticed an entry about the Randall Park Mall and it says that sometime around this time a manager of the Father and Son shoe store was found dead in a snowbank. Wounld this be the same person? Speaking of which what was in that gaint building that looks like apartments in front of the mall? It looks like it has not been used in sometime.
Great posting.. love the commercials in the video. I cannot imagine a busy Randall Park Mall anymore!
