Channel 6 Milwaukee circa 1977 featuring Albert the Alley Cat!
Channel 5 Cleveland circa 1975, this might as well be an Anchorman outtake.

Hello Milwaukee ...
... hello Milwaukee.
That spot will haunt my dreams. And I was telling Z-Man that I always thought the horse riding bit was bullshirt. Where the heck would they ride horses in Milwaukee? Through forking Washington Park?

Hello Indiana?
... hello Indiana?
Jack ass Hoosiers stealing our shirt!*
It's a good thing I didn't move to Indiana until '86. Indiana circa '80 makes me want to commit suicide. Though I do like the shot of the dude taking a big huge puff off that funky glass bong in the middle of the ad.**
* I'm sure this spot was used by whatever stations were owned by whatever company it was.
** I'm aware he's blowing glass. Blowing glass ... I know when I think of Indiana, I think of blowing glass. Or stuff that blows.
(kidding, kidding, KIDDING!)

Love the '80s stuff from the local affiliates in the A-T-L, the television of my youth...

I present to you Rebecca DeMornay's dad, the one and only, infamous, Wally George.
Man, I loved this show. WAL-LY! WAL-LY!
KDOC Channel 56. (This clip is actually interesting about 2/3 way through when they start talkin' Reagan and Bush and Kissinger).
