About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. 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 purposes.

This is what Chicago was all about good old happy t.v love growing up in Chicago. So much good fun back then
Bob Luce! I gt hooked on wrestling watching him along with Brusier's show and the AWA!
You are RIGHT. Vince McMahon dumbed down wresting so much. It's just kiddie entertainment now. It will never make a comeback as it has to try and compete with MMA (which it really can't)
Bob Luce rocked, he was bombastic. His show was also great; the neatest commercials, awesome interviews and lady wrestlers.
Seeing wrestling on channel 44 is one of my earliest TV memories.
Right! I remember when it became ontv.
@@xanderharris1104 You could watch it on split screen
The good old days.
Channel 44 was pretty wild.
Wrestling Hall of Fame....International Amphitheater....
I miss these sundays
Me too.
I wish I could go back in time
@@davidgeoghegan8506 every Sunday I see these commercials...always wonder what happened 🤔 to Ben's auto sales 🤔... am I the only one remembers dick the bruiser and spike Huber?
A simpler time and magnificent era in TV. Wrestling
To this day I know at least a dozen folks in Racine, Wisconsin that make Bens Auto Sales jokes lol. GREAT GREAT post! THANKS! I have uses for this....
I loved those Ben's Auto Sales commercials. The Miller's Pub and One Stop groceries were real good too.
@@randallkoch6183 I watch today’s 2 hour wrestling shows in 15-25 minutes. It took the full hour to watch Luce. The ADS. The COMMENTARY, especially when Luce paired with HEENAN. And, of course, the wrestling from old amphitheater itself. This after watching Harry Caray and the White Sox. Best 1-2 in history of television
Starrrr WAAAARRRRRSSSSSS! Nothing but Starrrr WAAAARRRRRSSSSSS!
IF THEY SHOULD BAAARRR WARS
... and hey: How 'bout that nutty Star Wars bar...
A lot of the big stars that boomed in the 1980’s -90’s WWF started in our Chicago backyard AWA/WWA.
Love these good old memories!
best commercials ever
How about something for Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grooooooove Wisconsin, or Smokin' US 30 Dragstrip, where the great ones ride?
Just hearing Mego's disco Star Wars theme makes me laugh.
Fantasic
LOL STAR WARS DISCO
What about the commercials with sales men bending over backwards to satisfy the customers?
THE BEST
I'm expecting a lot of traffic on this one.
Battle of the Bruisers. Dick the Bruiser vs Bruiser Brody, not sure if Brody worked as King Kong Brody then or not. I do recall there was a match to decide who could use the name and Dick won, since he owned the promotion ☺
Remember that?
Do you have any Bobby Hicks commercials for Dell's Furnature from the Big Bill Hill Show on channel 26 circa 1967?
Does anybody know the theme music Bob Luce used before he used the star wars music? It would be early 70s on ch 44.
8:30 start. Wow, that’s late!
It's a KFC now.
