Happy 100th Birthday, #DickVanDyke! One of the all-time great entertainers, from his 1960s self-titled sitcom to the 1990s crime drama "Diagnosis: Murder", and everything else he's done, he is a treasure enjoyed by all. Here's the intro from Episode #1 of his 1960s sitcom...

@archive.org @internetarchiveca.bsky.social I have an idea if anyone has yet to do it: as I live in Newfoundland, someone should dig up some old Newfoundland Heralds from my younger years (1980s) and scan them and share them. It was our version of “TV Guide” and unique to our part of North America.

#OnThisDay Commercials seen on CHCH Hamilton, December 6, 1994, during an airing of the TV movie "Come Die With Me", a Mike Hammer Mystery... youtu.be/SAQTHJV5YtQ

#Bluesky Exclusive: The final minutes of an unsold pilot called "Twisters" hosted by Jim Perry, produced by Bob Stewart, recorded at NBC Burbank on October 23, 1982...

A #Bluesky Exclusive: The closing segment to the fourth episode of "Hot Potato" from January 26, 1984, with everything intact as it was if originally broadcast, minus network promotional voiceovers (the Barry & Enright logo would be plastered by Columbia-Tristar soon after)...

@melissaarcher.bsky.social Happy Birthday! 46 candles! 🎂🎂🎂

#Wayback The almost-complete closing credits to the January 28, 1980 episode of "Love of Life"...

#Bluesky Exclusive: #Wayback The closing segment to the May 9, 1988 edition of Entertainment Tonight... Video Credit: Trevor Warren for finding this recording.

A #Bluesky Exclusive: On Pass the Buck, we have a tricky memory game, from June 21, 1978, near the end of the series. Enjoy! Also note the money counting graphic (that usually tells us how much it sits at) used in-game is broken.

#Wayback Almost two hours of CBC Stereo series "Night Lines" with David Wisdom, simulcast on CBC Newfoundland after the television sign-off in the early morning hours of September 17, 1988... youtu.be/uwSjhXg7AOs?... "Night Lines" and "Brave New Waves" were influential programs during their runs.

#Wayback A batch of commercials and promos seen on CBC Newfoundland late on September 16, 1988... youtu.be/eMRf8WFQWxA?...

@rewindium.bsky.social It's too bad this is all I got for oldest off-air NTV anything on my end (one good frame). They carried CTV's NHL broadcasts in the mid '80s.

Posting as a tribute: Todd Snider passed away at the age of 59. Here is a promo for "Austin City Limits" featuring him and another singer no longer with us, John Prine, aired between programs on WTVS Channel 56 Detroit on January 17, 1996... @acltv.bsky.social

@tvotoday.bsky.social If there ever came a time to choose two movies for a hypothetical Saturday Night at the Movies one-time special, careful consideration would have to be given to pick the two films that would be very special in their own way. Watching SNAM on TVO led me to becoming a TCM viewer.

A #Bluesky Exclusive: Bill Cullen has the contestants on Pass the Buck ask him personal questions, to which he must answer a certain way for them to keep playing. Originally aired June 6, 1978...

#Wayback An NTV Lucky Number Contest horizontal scroll from December 23, 1988 during an airing of The GLO Friends Save Christmas (broadcast date from a Bangor Daily News that included the CTV station in Moncton)...

Another #Bluesky Exclusive! The incomplete credits to "The Young and the Restless" from February 1, 1995 and intro to "Days of our Lives" from January 31, 1995, both aired on NTV, and reception is questionable (poor antenna or poor cable)...

Another #Bluesky exclusive: How about a record-setting run of the end game on "Chain Reaction", originally aired March 24, 1980 on NBC?

@rewindium.bsky.social Snapshots of the end of "The A-Team" episode "Sheriffs of Rivertown", as recorded briefly off WLBZ Bangor on November 27, 1984...

Things worth thinking: if you were "not mature enough" to watch soap operas and you instead watched game shows on the major networks and syndication, and PBS educational shows (some of whom parodied the soaps, game shows, everything in pop culture), what's something from your childhood you watched?

@kenjennings.bsky.social I really liked Delaney. At just 18 years old, she got to realize her Jeopardy! dreams. I know it could be a crowded field for a future Second Chance Tournament.

Watch as Debralee Scott and Robert Walden have a very bad time trying to form questions one word a time on Chain Reaction, originally aired March 6, 1980...

#Wayback An episode of "The Red Skelton Show" from September 27, 1960... archive.org/details/the-... I can only assume this was produced at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York.

#Wayback An episode of "The Red Skelton Show" from March 15, 1960... archive.org/details/the-...

New to my @archive.org channel: two Red Skelton episodes from 1960, recorded off WTVS Detroit around 2003 or 2004, if not later than that... archive.org/details/@ret...

@kenjennings.bsky.social As they go to extra innings, playoff overtime rules are in effect - no placed runner at second.

#Wayback The open and close to an early episode (February 4, 1972) of “Sanford and Son”, simply because you want to see a bit of Redd Foxx...

#Wayback A bumper and end credits to the October 27, 1989 episode of “Baywatch”, with original theme, as aired on NBC in its first overall (and only one on NBC) season...

Chain Reaction with Bill Cullen: Are Peggy Cass and Shelley Smith's minds on the same track? Find out here... Originally aired February 14, 1980 on NBC, seen on Game TV on September 25, 2025...

#Wayback A snippet of "Jackpot" end credits from the late '80s...

#Wayback The open and close to the December 8, 1969 episode of “Love, American Style”, recorded in (I think) 2017 off CFTV Leamington via satellite dish...

What happens when Lucy and Vivian dump a whole lot of newspapers out of their truck? Tap or click to find out as you'll find yourself laughing so hard! From "The Lucy Show" Season 1.

#Wayback From the April 4, 1978 episode of "Pass the Buck", the contestants try to name states ending with the letter "A". How hard can it be?

#Wayback A ticket plug for and the closing to the January 15, 1980 episode of “Chain Reaction” with Bill Cullen...

@kenjennings.bsky.social I bet you had fun saying "What's a rake?" on the air after waiting 21 years.

#Wayback The closing credits to the February 23, 1971 episode of “All in the Family” with the Viacom V of Doom logo at normal speed, aired here in Canada...

#Wayback The closing credits to the January 19, 1971 episode of "All in the Family", the second episode in the series, with the Viacom videotaped "V of Doom" at high speed with much truncated music cue... (Yes, Viacom apparently had Canadian distribution rights for a very long time.)

@kenjennings.bsky.social Thought of a quick idea that could be used later in the upcoming Wheel season if you run into Ryan Seacrest: every once in a blue moon, when calling for the timer to start, have him say "Go" or "Ready... Go" (latter we hear a lot on Pyramid through the decades).

#Wayback The end credits to an early "Get Smart" episode from October 2, 1965 with the Republic Pictures logo at the end, which gets me wondering about which distributor CHCH signed with to carry the series...
