About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 3,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

"Especially when they don't have a date." That hit hard Mrs. Williams. Yes, it's true, but it hit hard. 😑

I know why you have your little meetings in broad daylight
I know why you’re afraid to go out at night

12 million dollars a week I don’t believe that a quarter is 25 cents that’s not a lot if the game costed $100 to play for one game maybe I can believe 12 million dollars nobody knows how much it made per week I believe selling games can make you 12 million dollars but playing it no way
