As mentioned last week, I knew I wasn't gonna get the season finale (TV Sign-Offs Vol. 2) finished quite in time for this week, so, I just bumped back the would-be monthly installment of Archiveland Public Domain Theatre from last week to this week.

Tomorrow night at 8 P.M. (with pre-show starting at 7:30) Central Time, in honor of the recently-departed Roger Corman, I'm gonna run his (arguably) most (in)famous film "The Little Shop of Horrors". Of course, that movie takes place on "skid row", so, as such, I'm gonna run a skid row-worthy VHS copy of it. The stream will be at http://youtube.com/live/c5BZXWK60Cc

Otherwise, might as well start rolling out the first of the summertime Archive Annex posts. This week, we've got a block of ads from (not quite Baltimore, MD) Washington D.C. (but rather Baltimore-esque) from this very day in 1989. http://youtu.be/agBXhFcVIZI

Also, not too long ago, I'd found this DVR dump I'd done just before I...well...dumped my old DVR circa 2013 and had simply forgotten about. This is about 40 minutes worth of severe weather coverage from KMGH in Denver, CO, aired in the overnight hours of June 6th, going into the 7th, 2012--less than a month before OA first premiered. http://youtu.be/SOh88jdCcXQ

Once again, we're going back to the roots of OA next week!

WFTY (now WDCW) (then-Ind. - Washington D.C.) Ad Breaks (Mon. 5/29/1989)

From a rerun of a regular episode of Columbo (disguised as the "8:00 Movie"). Some true late-80's UHF goodness here...except that some of the ads were run repeatedly. This posting would be a LOT longer had I retained the redundant ads--even then, some of the ones here FEEL redundant, but are slight variations on other ads for the same thing (see the talk radio station ad). This aired over Washington D.C. then-independent WFTY (now WDCW) on Memorial Day, 1989 between 8 and 10 P.M. ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED

Made it! Don't worry about the Debbie Downers. Absolutely loved the new KLAK shutdown outro - perfection.

I *still* can't stop thinking about the customer with the salt/pepper shaker. Just so bonkers. Maybe on absurdity-par with Douglas Adams (who is 1 of my 2 favorite authors). I think this is one of those movies that really grows on you. (Maybe like a fungus, but still... :-D )
