WFLD Channel 32 - The BJ & Dirty Dragon Show (Part 1, 1972)

Here's Part 1 of a rare surviving edition of Bill Jackson's The BJ & Dirty Dragon Show on WFLD Channel 32. This was from the original 2" quadruplex master tape. Includes:

Brief color bars and 400 Hz tone

Stationary BJ & Dirty Dragon Show bumper slide with short tone blips to signify countdown

Opening segment (with "Cartoon Town" sign which was the show's original title), starting with banter between Fenster and Mother Pearl Plumtree, followed by postmaster Dirty Dragon insisting "something's sneaking around back there," before Mayor B.J. (Jackson) opens the show with a few words with the talking "Suggestion Box" and advising that Foo-Foo and Mertz are heading towards Mars, with Mertz appointed Minister of Peanut Butter, then previewing the cartoons to be shown this day (such as Super Chicken), promising a visit with the Blob and hoping that "whatever made the town frown yesterday won't be back." Next, we see appearances by Wally Goodscout and Weird, followed by Dr. Doompuss whose brooding, ominous presence concludes this segment.

This aired on local Chicago TV some time between January and September of 1972.

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. 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 3,800+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:
