WOR-TV NY LATE NIGHT COMMERCIAL BLOCK PLUS 1984

[bjroberts65]

I miss old TV..This is when television was good.....Today it's all a bunch of HORSESHIT!!!

[oldnytv5911]

What a treasure!! If you grew up in the NY Metro area, how could you not love this video? Classic commercials, the conclusion of Joe Franklin, more commercials, 9 All Night opening and the opening to "The Vampire People"!!! Amazing! Thank you for posting.

[NewWorldRob]

the woman at 0:20 has one beautiful little body.

[fatograph]

14 1/2% Mortgage rate? Amazing, I'd still rather live back then than now.

[akaravanas]

did I see that ad for Christy Lane correct? an 8 track???!!

[snappy452]

The commack motor inn is probably a crackhouse or a dunkin donuts by now

[clustro]

0:30 "What a wonderful time we're having. But what if we run out of money?"

"Don't worry babe - we're too big to fail!"

[PAM2167]

Love this blast from the past! But Christy lane? I want to strangle! That woman with her happy Christmas songs!!! I hate Christmas! Because it was my mothers birthday and she isn't here anymore

:-(:::::::::::::::::::: DIE CHRISTY LANE:-(:::::::::::

Rodney Dangerfield @ 0:47

Mount Airy Lodge made a comeback as a CASINO!! My aunt goes there...

[HAIONSTRESS]

eeasy pickens!

[Shawnster65]

Yeah, werd...from the sluttiness of the women in this commercial, you don't know if they were talking about the clothes or the women themselves being easy picking, lol

[Tarantulisimo]

Damn all the WOR TV stuff is getting deleted little by little...They just deleted the WOR TV editorial block from '81 which featured the guy from Newark & they deleted the Fright Night bumpers & the commercial blocks!!! That sux!!! Can some1 please repost? I love all the stuff from 79-82

[dmcrra]

the money store commerical...14 1/2 % fixed mortgage, what a steal!!! lol

[wmbrown6]

Would anyone know at what point Steve Albert replaced Jimmy Myers as "News 9's" sportscaster?

[retroguy1976]

haha at that easy pickins commercial damn they didnt have too many jersey stores all mainly up north.

[mctishee]

Cristy Lane was wearing the puffy shirt way before Seinfeld.

[TheEdgeOfLlanview]

I remember seeing commercials for Cristy Lane's "One Day At A Time" album quite frequently around that same time frame (1984-85).

[wmbrown6]

LS Records, which put out this compilation, was run by Ms. Lane's husband, Lee Stoller, for the purpose of issuing her works. The firm made a lot of money over the years from these mail-order LP's.

[classicphile]

The commack motor inn is still in operation today. In fact, they have their own website, and pictures of their rooms, including the heart shaped water bed and heart shaped hot tubs.

[TalkingOrangutan]

which movie was playing this late?

[DanZero77]

EEEEEEEEEEEEASY PICKINS! How could I not forget that Grandmaster Flash-inspired jingle!

The 9 All Night clip is another fine example of repackaged-for-TV low budget cinema! IMDB says this movie was indeed from the Philippines under the original Filipino title "Kulay dugo ang gabi".

[TRKoneAD2]

never see this on digital TV

late night TV was good on Friday & Saturday

Joe Franklin Show @ 3AM - no one from my generation watched it - Hey Tap you have any NY Hot Tracks or Friday Night Videos

[tapthatt2012]

i have a bunch of the hot tracks clips with no commercials

[TheEdgeOfLlanview]

I remember NY Hot Tracks. It aired on Sunday afternoons, I think (on WABC Ch. 7). I saw the following videos for the first time on that show: "Let's Stay Together" by Tina Turner, "Ebony Eyes" by Smokey Robinson and Rick James, "She's Strange" by Cameo, "Lucky Star" by Madonna. Does anyone else remember "Playback 84" that aired sometime during the summer of '84 on WOR Ch. 9? There was also a video show on Ch. 9 that aired Saturday afternoons (I think) and "Hot" was on WNEW Ch. 5 weekdays.

[wmbrown6]

I thought "New York Hot Tracks" ran late Friday nights/early Saturday mornings, right up against NBC's "Friday Night Videos."

[TheEdgeOfLlanview]

I remember it being on sometime in the afternoon. I'll have to check some old tapes I have because I know I do have a bumper for NYHT.

[danawadd]

I'm also interested in seeing more of "The Vampire People"... LOL. I wonder if it was made in Spain or Mexico...?

[wmbrown6]

I think it was made in the Philippines. But this film ("The Vampire People" was the title assigned it for TV) had been in WOR-TV's library since at least 1974.

[danawadd]

OMG... Easy Pickins... After getting my first paycheck *ever* in 1984, I blew most of it at this place...

[wmbrown6]

Sounded like Phil Tonken was modifying his delivery for the "News 9 at Noon" promo (i.e. sounding a bit more nasal) prior to the opening "9 All Night" music.

[EarlSnohomish]

Too bad you don't have more of the movie, Tap. ;-)

Thanks for posting it!

[Shawnster65]

Yeah man, really!

What a great find!

It was only about 3 minutes but man did that make me feel like I was up on a Satuday night again. As always, Tap' delivers :)

[tapthatt2012]

thanks. always great to here from you.

NY MONSTER MEMORIES ROCK!

[baddog7676]

YES! The Scooter! He was the best!

[wmbrown6]

Better than "The Scooter Store," even. ;)
