September 1991 WPIX Commercials!

These commercials all aired during an episode of Tales from the Darkside in late September of 1991, after midnight. If you're a Purple Stuff Podcast listener, we covered that episode and some of these commercials during our latest Patreon bonus show: www.patreon.co...

Comet TV is now showing Tales from the Darkside.

Do you know if it's the original broadcast or the dvd version? The dvd used a different score. The best way of knowing is if the CBS/Paramount logo appears after the credits, if it says lorimar or tribune then it is the original master tape being shown.

I remember watching WPIX as a kid in western MA. I can't believe how much nostalgia these commercials kicked up!

The king of compilations returns!

Jesus I remember when A Different World came on WPIX, I think it only last 2 years on 11, and then was replaced by Family Matters. It came on usually in the 7 pm or 7:30 time slot. I was only a little kid stuck on TV in Northern NJ. And we had cable but I always watched the local channels more!

I miss WPIX 11 the way it was in the 90s

[@artanisknarf]

Growing up in Chicagoland, I had to finally google it, and found out that Tribune bought WPIX in 1991. This explains why on so many of your videos from WPIX, they have the same voiceover guy from WGN and a lot of the same syndicated shows and commercials for them (Charles in Charge and Full House).

The late Doug Paul. He has the golden voice for promos in the 80’s and 90’s.
