I remember - as a little kid - if I woke up really early - for some reason - at like 6 am on a Sunday morning - I believe...I would find Captain Bob - I haven't seen that opening in like 30 years(!)

@wmbrown6 Yes, WCVB used five Norelco PC-100A studio cameras from station sign-on in 1972 through the early 1980s. They were replaced by Ikegami cameras (HK-312s, I think).

Captain Bob was also seen on WFSB-3 in the 1970's and 80's.

From what I could tell, WCVB still had Norelco PC-100A cameras (the U.S. equivalent of the Philips LDK-5's) at the time of the 1976 "Captain Bob" clip. KXLY's cameras circa 1980 were definitely GE, probably PE-250 (same as used from the mid-to-late 1960's and all through the '70's by WNAC-TV Boston).

I'm amazed at this quality you've ripped up. Astounded.

@NEPatriot "Captain Bob" was also seen on the original WHDH-TV, Channel 5 in Boston, before WCVB assumed control with the new call letters. But his program then was a more general kids show, with cartoons and his hosting (wrap) segments featuring interaction with puppets. In fact, such was "Captain" Bob Cottle's fame and broadcasting skills, he also hosted the nationally-syndicated "Ruff 'n Reddy" cartoon show.

I know you can't control what you get, but there was a very funny Chips Ahoy commercial in the late '60s, roughly the same vintage as that Silly Putty commercial you ran. If you ever get that, please post it.

@NEPatriot Gillis also hosted "Candlepin Bowling" for 35 years (1961-96), the only 'HDH-TV program retained by 'CVB. Coleman's predecessor as "Candlepin" host(1958-61) was original Red Sox and Boston Braves TV announcer Jim Britt, who worked at WBZ-TV before being hired by 'HDH-TV. Britt's immediate successor (between he and Coleman) as Red Sox announcer was Curt Gowdy, who was hired by NBC in 1966. Between 1954-58, Britt worked with Coleman as part of the Cleveland Indians broadcast team.

@NEPatriot The original WHDH also had a morning show called "Classroom 5," a magazine-style program, "Dateline: Boston," and was the TV home of the Boston Red Sox many years, Ken Coleman as the play-by-play announcer, Johnny Pesky the "color" man, with Ned Martin on WHDH Radio (850AM) providing the play-by-play.

Thank you for this lovely clip! How did you get it? As my own children grow, I'm desperate to share Captain Bob with them. I've called WHDH and WCVB and they say they do not have archives. Now calling all around New England based on obituaries to try to find out who might have an archive. Can you help?

+James Finney The current WHDH-TV/Channel 7 is not connected with the original WHDH-TV/Channel 5. Only the call letters are the same. WCVB-TV ought to have "Caption Bob" episodes in its archives. The station was airing them on weekends as recently as the late 1990s. Whether WCVB would make copies for the general public is another matter.

@gymnastix 12 жыл бұрын

@NEPatriot But many original 'HDH-TV on-air personnel, including Frank Avruch (host and booth announcer), Chet Curtis (news anchor/reporter), Bob Copeland (meteorologist), Don Gillis (host/sports anchor/reporter), Bill Harrington (reporter), and Jack Hynes (news anchor/reporter), emigrated to WCVB, so the station retained some of its original flavor, even while losing the better programming when owned by the Boston Herald Traveler Corp.

@NEPatriot The original WHDH/Channel 5 in Boston was a far better station than the current Channel 5 (WCVB), was also home to the Boston franchises of "Bozo's Big Top"/"Bozo The Clown," with Frank Avruch, and "Romper Room," with "Miss" Jean (Harrington).
