so many memories this brings back. me and my dad (who is now in heaven) used to watch this all the time. still pictuire us watching it when i hear this
Childhood!!! We had to work for this to get a good, clear signal in Youngstown to watch. Had to make sure the antenna was *just* right and do it early. Usually had it adjusted in time to catch the box score portion of the news (which was another memory in and of itself - riding out the instrumental of "Dirty Laundry" or the break of "Stranglehold" while they flashed the scores, the more sports that happened, the better).
Yeah, grew up watching this show. I recall seeing Little John opening up his jewelry store when me and parents were driving downtown Cleveland on way to air show. 80's. Later me and mother saw little John in local pizza joint with his family. Just....memories.... I looked forward to this show as a kid. They filmed a few skits in my neighborhood in the 80's.
Whatever Iceland, the whole world against Cleveland, the best location in the nation. They're just mad they didn't have The Big Chuck and lil John show.
Yeah toward the end in 2007 (2000-2007), yeah it sucked then, BUT NOT from 79-99, that timeframe the Big Chuck and Lil' John Show RULED!!! The only show in the 80's that was better was the Ghoul Show from 82-84 on 61.
I can remember staying up late as a kid and watching those old great movies!!!! Such a simpler time 😊

This is when WJW TV 8 was CBS and 19 was FOX
I remember when they were WJKW...
@@fhb3 then after the switch they did the most obvious thing, just crossed out the K!!!! 🤣
makes me miss home
I love these guys and this show! STAR WARS and BC & LJ were the cornerstones of my entire childhood!
This is just the BEST... Thank You BIG CHUCK & LIL JOHN I performed on their show in 1983 “ The Supreme Team”
Great opening, but I'm old enough to remember the cheesy original in all its glory.
Same here
The same....
I remember growing up and i couldn't wait untill friday nights at 11:30pm to what the show.And they had great movies to go with the show
The same. I looked forward to this show as a kid. They filmed a few skits in my neighborhood in the 80's.
Oh my! That takes me way back. That opening is hilarious. 😂
Back to the glory days in Cleveland....
RIP to the GOD of weathermen the Grandfather of Cleveland weather..Dick Goddard.
I miss them so much
They’re still on Sunday nights.
I love how Big Chuck sacrificed Little John up to Kong.
I wish there were more complete shows (Movie and Skits ) to watch
Not the one I recall, but still just good plain ol' silly!
Ah, memories.
Goddard sure was a ham! He was great in these skits!!!

Loved them as a kid in Ravenna
Leavittsburg, myself.
We drank beer in their parking lot and on the show!

Yep, here it is again.
This is the first time since the 1970s that I saw a new opening for this show since I left Cleveland in 1986. I like this one better.
Absolutely awesome!
Homesick for Cleveland and growing up...
Legends!!!!!!
LIL John's parents lived just a street away from me: Willowick Drive in Willowick, would see them all the time....
Months later, this opening was cut down which was a bummer.
weeeeeeeeee..legends!!!!
I Miss old Cleveland....Well some stuff
Here we goooo again !!!! Yeah i loved this show .Mostly when it was Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show.
COOLEST OF COOL!
yes
It's been so long
Since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long 🤧
Great bit of Cleveland culture. Local legends
good old days
This used to scare the absolute shit out of me.
Whatever Iceland, the whole world against Cleveland, the best location in the nation. They're just mad they didn't have The Big Chuck and lil John show.
I wish they still used the Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003 with its haunting Hi-Lo
Tooooo funny
WJW fox 8 needs horror host weekends… bring the midnight movie to the station
I prefer the original hooligan and big chuck opening I saw on here better than this one.
Bwahahaha
Was that really Chuck and John shouting out the opening spiel?
bhayes06 Yes it was.
What songs are played in the opening?
Here We Go Again by Ray Charles
Man I sure do miss thaopening credit what year was that by the way
They never should have taken that old set down and replaced it with that boring looking one with the gorilla.
This show was stupid
Huh
Yeah toward the end in 2007 (2000-2007), yeah it sucked then, BUT NOT from 79-99, that timeframe the Big Chuck and Lil' John Show RULED!!! The only show in the 80's that was better was the Ghoul Show from 82-84 on 61.
