THATHAT: This block is from October 1982 (10-82), not October 1983 (10-83).

@heine71 thta's what i thought. i double checked one of the dates on the source that i thought read 83. it was 82. thanks.

that was the kid from "who's the boss" on the AIM commercial?

@jerkylfish No doubt. This whole commercial block is full of mistakes with slides and keyed items from start to finish.I am thinking a local United airfare deal would have probably been put over the end of that ad (as they used to do) but we got some News Headlines instead.

Classic Channel 5 screwup at 2:37 as the 'News Headline' template or whatever appears over the end of the commercial. I remember that kind of thing happened pretty much constantly.

"The Night That Panicked America"? We didn't need a MOVIE to scare people out of their seats on this night, quipped WNEW! Let's screw up a few graphics and call it THE NIGHT THAT PANICKED NEW YORK TV VIEWERS!!!!!

Ok I think I like this clip a little too much! Channel 5 sure got into the Halloween spirit during these ads, mistakes be damned!!!

Looking at this video again, and all the missteps happening over the span of just a couple of hours on the evening of 10/31/1982, I think the regular WNEW master control guy was at a Halloween party or something, his replacement would have probably scared me with all the weird mistakes when I was 4 years old on that day! But then again, I was probably trick or treating ;)

Is that the girl from "Head of the Class" in a commercial for Aim?

[blacksultan85]

it's funny because i still remembered about THE BIG APPLE MOVIE and the old channel 5 design 'till yhis day!!!!!
