Holy crap I actually remember this broadcast I was 9 years old, had only been back at school a week or so. My elementary school was open campus 1/2 a block away and I would get home for lunch at 11:50 see the last few minutes of Lost in space then watch Underdog, half of Great Space Coaster and then run my ass back to school. Count Chocoula & Frankenberry I think they only had 3 jokes on that rocket with Tennessee tuxedo. Riff Raff & Rocky Maninoff And of course the memories of Great America in Gurnee Illinois. Thank you for bringing back a flood of childhood memories I had long since forgotten.

Mine was at one end of the block, and I lived on the other... until they started busing me across town to some "special" classes. :\

Memory of sitting at a folding step-stool in my parent's semi-finished basement, watching "The Great Space Coaster" as I ate my peanut butter sandwich, then my corn chips... and dropping my plate, losing all my corn chips! :\

Boy, that takes me back! "And live to regret it" was WFLD's favorite way to end those teases of upcoming shows. For once, I wanted to see an episode where the heroes didn't live to regret it.

Ahh, Underdog at lunchtime. They played a lot of Tennessee Tuxedo too, I think they alternated with Underdog throughout the year.

If you noticed the end credits of "Lost In Space," you will see, thought they didn't say it upfront, that Red Skelton had a stake in the show (his Van Bernard Productions and his variety show's executive producer of the time, Guy della Cioppa, are within the credits).

Yep. Groucho Marx also owned "a piece of the action", through "Jodi Productions".

Interesting that Richard Simmons gets a double play, with the second airing being at 7:30 PM (not exactly prime time for aerobicize!)

Chicago looks like it was one of the few big markets that ran cartoons/kid-friendly show during the lunch hour, I guess enough Chicago kids lived within walking distance of their school (at least in the city proper) that they could go home for lunch

This looks pretty close to how Boomerang aired Underdog when I was in 2nd grade before they started using a newer intro.

I wonder how many phone booths Underdog destroyed every year? Will he ever be held accountable for his wanton destruction of property?

Ch. 32 was at it's best when it was an independent station. The cartoons in the afternoon, along with 3 Stooges, were the best. Now it's just talk shows , judge shows which are pure garbage.
