Why is the sound on all of these videos so bad? I can barely hear what's being said.

On the 1983 Oldies show, the station was having audio problems that night.

Hello to all my fellow Big Chuck & lil John fans........does anybody out there have the skit "Junkfood Junkie"???? please upload if if you will!!!!!!:)

I think it's before 1983. I thought Hoolihan left in the 80's. Love these videos! They bring back a lot of memories. Why can't we have such clean fun nowadays? Why does it always have to go too far?

Does anyone have the parody of Channel 5 "Polka Varieties" TV show? I believe they titled it "Certain Ethnic Varieties".

Hilarious! I was a contractor to an announcer

school for ten years.

I see in the first sketch, they used the "CBS News 36" font which was most in use by the CBS network with which WJW was affiliated at the time. CBS News 36 was the basis for the CG typeface Vidifont.
