About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv 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 preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
I remember Katie used to watch her all the time. TV in Chicago was special.
Is she still alive?
@@avalond1193 I think so.....she is 65.
A whole lotta great back-in-the-day Chicagoland nostalgia here, and the mention of the Houston Astros is particularly eerie, as we unfortunately moved to Houston just two months after this aired when my father's employer moved there. I just wanna go back, shop at Dominick's and watch "Benny Hill" and Cubs games on TV.
Pat Summerall played for the old Chicago Cardinals. 3:50 is Shelley Long of Cheers fame.
Kathy was quite a beauty!!
Kathy McFarland died in June of 2012. She was 61.
Do you know what this lady died of? She would have been worked quite well here in L.A.

RIP Ms. McFarland. She was just as much a part of my Chicago childhood as Bozo, Ray Rayner, Fahey Flynn, Richard Pegue, Naurice Roberts or Bill Kurtis & Walter Jacobsen was.
RIP Kathy
Wait she really died?
Nevermind I checked
i like the movie of the week title screens and music. gosh i miss those...
Shelly Long for Homemakers BEFORE Cheers!
Just before "Cheers," in fact.
Putting her improv chops to work
❤😊👍 merci a bientôt
She left Channel 32 around the time Metromedia took over the station in early 1983. Metromedia attempted to buy the station in 1970 but the bid was ultimately rejected .
Balogna on plain white bread, lunch is ready!
5 minutes of news and let's get back to business with M*A*S*H and Benny Hill. Better times.
