Here's a complete broadcast of Atlanta-based SuperStation WTBS Channel 17's kids show, SuperStation FunTime, hosted by Jerry Homan and featuring Ron Kirk and Susan Baer. Also included at the end is the first 7 minutes of the following program, "The Space Giants" (which Chicagoland folks will remember airing on WSNS Channel 44 in the 70s)
Includes:
PSA for U.S. Forest Service - "Plant a Birthday Tree for any occasion"
Talking plants promoting Super Station Fun Time for 7:30am and 2:50pm (Eastern time)
Station ID / PSA for Department of Energy Hotline
Opening of SuperStation Fun Time including titles (some of the opening music had to be reversed/degraded to avoid RUclips blocking - music is: "Happy I'm Happy" by Benny Golson [1978) (which can be heard in its entirety here: • benny golson happy i' ... )
Part 1 of Encyclopedia Britannica film, "Weather Forecasting," documenting the early history of this field in this segment (at end of which is notice to "tune in tomorrow for Part 2")
RUclips User "bigO! plabax" adds, "The jarring synth music heard at 2:24 and 8:36 was also used as opening theme music on two videotaped programs, "Health 3-4" and "Health 5-6" (for grades 3 to 6), produced and aired on Nebraska Educational Television back in the 1970s, and continued to air into the late '90s. Nothing like seeing '70s ETV in the '90s, along with good laughs! As a side note, when I saw this at school in the mid-'80s, the teacher often had to keep the volume down when the jarring music came on because it was really THAT loud! Even at a normal level! Yikes! 😂 As for the "Weather Forecasting" film, I saw that in its entirety one day in my sixth-grade science hour sometime around in March 1986. Yet TBS couldn't finish showing it. I guess the program staff just couldn't wait to get those cartoons on, whatever they want to do."

I used to rush home after elementary School to be home at 3:35 or sooner to watch space Giants. This is an absolutely insane memory trip for me. The coolest thing about the '80s was basic cable and beyond.
I grew up in Smyrna, GA during the late 70s/early 80s. This is a goldmine of memories.
Nice to see that the RKO comedy shorts of Edgar Kennedy and Leon Errol were part of this program. In Chicago, they aired on WSNS Channel 44.
The Space Giants was the coolest TV show in the 1970s!!!
They don't show commercials like this anymore.
I watched the Little Rascals and The Three Stooges Every morning before school on this channel.
Good Times...
Beautiful channel exelent series congratulations
Thanks. Loved Funtime as a kid. I hated it when they got rid of those actors (Jerry, Susan and can't remember the other one).

Those Encyclopaedia Britannica films would've been considered "E/I" programming today.
That's a great idea. New baby, new tree!
11:07 is a “Little Rascals” short called “Washee Ironee” from 1934 with the 1960’s King World titles where it plastered the original MGM main titles.
25:05 is the King World closing text from the 1960’s, but the KWP logo never appeared until the 1970’s.
These early King World prints are very difficult to find.
11:08 I miss the old times seeing The Little Rascals opening on TV when I was a kid. 25:05 and the ending of it hearing the Rascals cheering. They were the best of times. Where can I find the opening again?
Never watched the live action Japanese kids shows back in the day. It's good stuff.
I know. It was too different. I didn’t know what to make of it as a little kid. Space Giants, Spectra Man, Ultra Man.
I clicked for the Space Giants, and I wasn’t disappointed.
This ain't the WTBS of today is it.
You wish!
WTBS & WGN of the 80s was 100x better
@@MMAfighter38113 Yes, they were.
@@MMAfighter38113 most networks were much better in the 1980's.
Before Corporate Greed and Pharmaceudical Overload Commercials.🤦♀️🤦♂️
@@sparklecanada0112 and insurance commercials
"The Space Giants!!!!"
Really enjoyed this!!
Is there a way to get a copy of this? Seeing space giants with the commercials is going back to 1980 again.
I won’t subscribe to Sports Illustrated without a football phone, and that’s final.
or a copy of the Swimsuit issue
I was crying by the end of "Birthday Tree"
2:25 is the MTC Video logo theme which was later being slowed down.
I got a feeling it was from ATC Argentina.
back when tbs was not a big station
that logo on the left side is huge! please put it back at the previous size like it in the promos. it is too distracting with the "bug" being so large, fills up the entire bottom of my tv and I find myself looking at that more than the content. Please fix this in next uploads.
That host almost looks like Jim Carrey.
Fly lands on the woman's arm at 25:18.

What was the audio issue you fixed?
Noise reduction was accidentally set too high and it sounded bad in parts.
