Here's a complete broadcast of an edition of The CBS Children's Film Festival on WBBM Channel 2, showing "The Mysterious Spy."

This was one of the last editions of the program before it ended after a run spanning 17 years (original hosts Kukla, Fran and Ollie, as synonymous with Chicago as everything, had been dropped in 1977, so this has no host).

"The Mysterious Spy" was drawn from a short-lived French-Canadian TV series from 1982, "Les Transistors." If you look closely, or even not that closely, you can tell it was dubbed in English (from French).

Station ID / Bob Wallace promo for Twain's River

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 (or other cities occasionally); 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 preservation. 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 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:
