WFLD Channel 32 - "Mighty Woodpecker" (Opening Screw-Up, 1981)

WFLD Channel 32 - Mighty Woodpecker (Opening Screw-Up, 1981)

Here's the opening for what was supposed to be Mighty Mouse on WFLD Channel 32, but instead they played the opening video for Woody Woodpecker. The voiceover by Dr. Don is correct though. The screw-up likely occured because Mighty Mouse had replaced Woody Woodpecker in this timeslot about a month prior to this airing. Notice, the font on the WFLD Woody Woodpecker logo is a bit different than the more rounded design seen in this earlier clip (about 18 seconds in). Also includes a bumper promo for the 2pm Big Movie airing of "Cash McCall". (voiceover by Jim Barton) "There's no one can touch the beaver..." This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, July 5th 1981 at 9am. 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 ou! t 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. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 3700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at: www.fuzzymemories.tv
