Remember ALL that shit. I found Capt Kangaroo more disturbing than down home South Philly's Capt Noah- though Noah ever so often would take on a slightly christian vibe.
Snipets was from channel 48 WKBS (long faded into the UHF static ether)
Sort of funny as a year from now UHF (and VHF) wil be a memory. I hear the cellular providers will be getting some of that bandwidth.
The Gtown archive is much more organized these days. In fact I just found a mix that the Doc and I did at 'the Cabin' that is a bit choppy, but quite amusing.
something from channel 17, 29, or 48?
More philly TV:
17 WPHL(ultraman and speed racer)
29 WTAFdamn near everything else
48 WKBS ( I seem to recall some freaked out horror movies on sunday afternoon on this channel)
or maybe it was on the Channel 48 replacement 57 WGBS. I think G.I. Joe was on this one.
Now does anyone remember any of these? (they all freaked me the fuck out as a kid):
Captain Noah Creepy
Al AlbertsReminds me of the old guys at church who smelled like old spice and drove Cadillacs.
Al Alberts with a promo for Larry Ferrari at 2:00 I didn't know that Klinger played the Hammond
And finally if you haven't killed yourself yet, I'll close with the one guy who kicked all of their asses....
Chief Halftown.

omg...captain fucking noah! was that just some philly shit? hahaha. what a blast from the past.
it was either channel 48 or 57 that for a little bit would run kung-fu flicks on sundays in 3-d! you could go down to the 7-11 and pickup the glasses.
