Great collection of stuff recorded during several commercial breaks late one night in 1978.
Spots for A&P and Tab, followed by PSA for the Citizens Committee (with Alan King), then a station I.D. and open for The Late Show. Next are spots for Frankart Furniture and Crazy Eddie, a station I.D., two news promos, a Mike Douglas promo, and a bridge for "Enchanted Island." Finally, we have a promo for The Jim Nabors Show, WCBS-TV Celebrates New York, The Late Late Show open, and the station sign-off.

OMG!! The construction worker during the Chris Borgen promo is John Merlo and I worked with him during the building of the WTC from 1971 through January of '75. He was a hell of a nice guy. Hey big John, hope you are doing well....Joe Mastro

UNBELIEVABLE... whenever you'd hear the Late Late Show music you KNEW you were up too late and you hoped your parents weren't going to come out and discover you. But it didn't matter... that music was the signal..turn off the tv and put the glass in the sink and go to bed! That strange yellowish light from the animations would light up the dark room and that music was so bracing.. making you think of what the world was like .. the commercials.. the CBS stills... distant memories now..

@fscap811 5 лет назад

I believe CBS showed the Late Show and the Late, Late Show every night, not once a week.

@DanZero77 13 лет назад

wmbrown6 led me here. I am a HUGE fan of stuff like this, anything like this! Not only do we get local ads, and Late Show bumpers, but a WCBS Celebrates ad and sign-off! As everyone else says, BRILLIANT! I believe "The Late Show" bumper was the *ending* to that, and The Late Late Show was just beginning w/ "Enchanted Island".

And... I miss old NY accents.

@PeteRFNY 13 лет назад

WOW, great stuff, thanks!! I was always a night person, even back then so I saw this stuff all the time. Overnights on Channel 2 were always a mix of promos and "WCBS TV Celebrates NY" spots. I miss the days when you could see cheesy movies overnight on TV...now it's all infomercials. I wish I could find Channel 2's earlier longer sign-off, where they talked about the Television Code...!

@LannieLord 4 месяца назад

YES! That Late Late Show opening was like "Oh Crap- I'm up TOO late and school is TOMORROW!!!" I think it was on at 2 AM !!

@PhantomDrums917 12 лет назад

Great memories. this was when NY was NY.

@87pianogal 12 лет назад

I love this! It is like recreating a piece of my childhood...thanks for posting!

@StukInBuf 12 лет назад

I never even knew Jim Nabors had a talk show. Then again, I was only 7 and a half at the time...

@Musicradio77Network 5 месяцев назад

The music for both “The Late Show” and “The Late Late Show” as well as “Pictures For A Sunday Afternoon” was done by the legendary Barry Manilow. He went on to have big hits throughout the 1970’s.

@KLXT77 14 лет назад

Excellent knowledge, as always, wmbrown6. You may be right about that A&P spot. My brother actually recorded this stuff, and recorded some spots from WABC, as well.

@brooklynbabe7896 Год назад

Rest in peace Mike Douglas and Jim Nabors and David Brenner I loved watching this number I was just a few months old also rest in peace to Joan Rivers

@vealcutlet 14 лет назад

Great stuff. I've been looking for a Frankart Furniture commercial for a long time.

@Bentom86 14 лет назад

What a BRILLIANT post...thank you for this!! I knew someone in You Tube land would come up big with this classic TV of WCBS in the wee hours. Suppose you had to be there to appreciate this gem...thanks again!

@Nunofurdambiznez 3 года назад

LOL OMG! TAB! forgot all about that stuff.. used to drink it by the gallon back in the day!

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

Bravo, bravo. B.T.W., the first ad (for A&P) may've been from WABC-TV, as the announcer heard at the end was ABC staffer Tedd Lawrence. Now if someone had test patterns from the New York stations of the time, I'll be a happy clam! . . . ;) The station I.D. at 2:45 was V/O'd by Wally King, and the I.D. afterwards by Norm Stevens, who also did the sign-off.

@jeffbengert2863 Год назад

Love it!!!!! 70s, greatest part of my crappy life....

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

Furthermore, this would have aired on late March 20/early March 21, 1978, and the sign-off was around 5:50 A.M.

David Brenner lol There's millions of more hours of great vintage video just rotting away somewheres.

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

I was thinking: Maybe someone should do a restoring job on all these old "WCBS-TV Celebrates" promos, with the stereo sources of these library pieces - and cut up (and in some cases pitch adjusted) in the same manner as they were originally. Not unlike what Joe Malzone had done for WPIX's "Yule Log."

@fromthesidelines 5 лет назад

A&P went out of business in 2015.

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

In addition, those five WCBS-TV slides shown with music and Wally King's V/O were from 1973, as the "WCBS-TV New York" line was considerably different from the other slides shown (the larger type was apparently post-1974 or '75).

@samuelgriffin9364 5 лет назад

Remember the Tab commercial

@terracottapie 14 лет назад

@wmbrown6 You might be right that that spot was shown on ABC, but those A&P ads aired on all the local stations IIRC.

@lifeworksndhenterprisesllc6597 3 года назад

RiP, the late show and the late, late show 1974-2008. I was fivee yests old when it's first started. I'm bronx all the way,bit I had to say good bye to north Carolina and head on to Hollywood. Well,I'll see you again.

@markelijio6012 2 года назад

Cool !

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

@plectrum34 - It was from 1970, right after the "Impact and Action - Vol. 2" set (KPM-1062) that yielded what later became known as "The Riviera Affair" by Neil Richardson which became famous as the theme to WOR-TV's "4 O'Clock Movie." The piece by Mr. Mansfield from that LP you mentioned was titled "Pop Package." I saw a full recording of that on: watch?v=q6C8eeUWy4E Another "Celebrates" music bed was heard from 3:37 - 4:04 on: watch?v=O7qFzjEvYXQ Would you know that tune's origin?

@sambradley2975 5 лет назад

I remember A & P.

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

Would anyone out there know which production music library the piece used for that "WCBS-TV Celebrates New York" segment on here originated from, what its title was and who wrote it? Does have a kind of late 1960's/early '70's British vibe to it (given that those films debuted in the 1971-72 season).

@terracottapie 14 лет назад

@plectrum34 Speaking of WOR and basketball, do you remember the "New Jersey Gems" theme song? I've been trying to find that online to no avail. They were a team in the WBL, a precursor to the WNBA that played three seasons in the late 70s and early 80s. Channel 9 would show ads promoting tickets to games and they had a ridiculously catchy jingle.

Saturday MARCH 18-Early Sunday MARCH 19, 1978 ON WCBS-TV NEW YORK'S VIACOMCBS 2.

Tab still exists.

@imakecostumes 12 лет назад

I was hoping for the: Booooooooooooooooooooooooooop 440 tone at the end.

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

@KLXT77 - Hope he was on the ball when the other New York stations signed off, and/or if their test patterns were up. If not, then . . . oh, well . . .

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

@terracottapie - True. However, ABC staffer Tedd Lawrence's voice at the end was the key.

@brentmann2988 2 года назад

1:51 Great New York/New Jersey accent! 6:14 Hmmmm....

@wmbrown6 13 лет назад

@noahf67 - Sounds like an early 1970's KPM library music piece.

@wmbrown6 13 лет назад

@Juliaflo - You mean "Mr. Big?" ;)

@wmbrown6 13 лет назад

@tyrese3745 - And "The Jeanne Parr Show" ran at 1 P.M., to be replaced in the fall by Stanley Siegel who defected from WABC-TV.

@kengeorgejones6855 3 года назад

Weird to imagine getting dreamy over John Stossel.

@TheBrooklynbodine 5 лет назад

Crazy Eddie (2:15) was a WHN DJ who used the name Jerry Carroll.

@wmbrown6 5 лет назад

Not WHN - WPIX-FM 102.

@reinnegroni8462 5 лет назад

You almost forgot. "Dr. Jerry" back in 1977 on WPIX 102 FM.

@reinnegroni8462 5 лет назад

It was Del DeMontreaux on WHN radio 1050 back in 1978 as a radio DJ while Jerry Carrol was on WPIX 102 FM & remember the Kenny Rogers ad on EVERY subway station in New York City? How could you not miss your stop when you see him? Time Marches On!

@Juliaflo 13 лет назад

@wmbrown6 That's it--The one and only Chris Noth.

@LBrilliante 12 лет назад

@mrgiosb123 LOL... Stossel likes to tell how when he was reporting about companies malfeasance he was a 'good guy' with his colleagues.. now as he reports on GOVERNMENT(said with Stosselesque emphasis) malfeasance his colleagues aren't so happy. I caught the glimpse of IMAN and the current Fox 5 NY consumer reporter Joel Diaz? in there too!

@danawadd 11 лет назад

David Diaz is still on NY TV but I think Ch 5 these days.

This was at 5:50 in the morning. They probably didn’t have enough time to display the seal.

@KLXT77 13 лет назад

@FBCDJ1620am I'm afraid not. This block of spots is all I've got.

@wmbrown6 14 лет назад

@KLXT77 - Also . . . as to Mr. Stevens' sign-off, compare it to the 1964 DX recording of his sign-off from that year, as on: watch?v=kiWBjI1oLno

@mikeymutual5489 Год назад

John Stossel. Once upon a time, a respected consumer advocate. Today, a selfish and cruel "libertarian" that makes money peddling hate and false conspiracy theories. How the mighty have fallen.
