WGBS Philly 57 - Dinosaucers Ad Break 1988 (Better Quality)

Haven't uploaded anything from Philly 57 in awhile. Let's change that.
I don't typically upload full commercial breaks, but in this case I think I need to. It's the first commercial break from a January 1988 airing of Dinosaucers on 57. They ran long introductions to virtually every one of their programs, in lieu of a promo and/or a station ID (the calls are tastefully positioned along the bottom). I've always liked the graphics - colorful star animation and that killer 57 CGI animation. The announcer is female, and they only used her for I think this season - Kim Martin took over announcing for the kids shows as well. This break runs from the Philly 57 intro to the episode titles.
If you watch closely, you'll notice something's missing. To be more blunt, you'll probably go "hey, where's the opening theme song?!" That's right... the Philly 57 intro replaced the Dinosaucers opening credits, presumably so they could sell more advertising and/or insert the Captain Power and Comic Strip promos that seemed to air at every single break. It also has the side effect of denying us a typically awesome 1980s Haim-N-Shuki theme song.
For those interested, the playlist:
1.) Philly 57 Intro
2.) Super Golden Crisp
3.) Captain Power promo
4.) Comic Strip promo (see what I mean about the every break thing?)
5.) Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and all three bakers before the other two sold to the white haired guy with glasses
6.) Cabbage Patch Splashin' Kids
7.) Dinosaucers bumper and title.

When Dinosaucers was rerun on The Family Channel as part of the FunTown block from 1989 to 1991, that was the most chopped up the series ever got..they must've inserted like five commercial breaks in the poor episodes.

The old one was encoded at a bad bitrate and had interlacing errors when viewed at high quality. This one is encoded at a higher bitrate and with a new deinterlacing filter. Quality is now much improved and I plan to revisit some of the lower-quality stuff and re-encode.

(sigh) 1988... The memories...

Damn, this is as clear a commercial break I have seen. Good Job!

I remember seeing some of that on CLG Megamix 3 Matt.

I knew there were originally three bakers in the CInnamon Toast Crunch commercials. Now I can show my friends that I was right because they said it was only one baker (Wendell) all the time.

Not a coincidence. Philly 57 WGBS, Super 66 WGBO, and 33 WBFS (no fancy name) were owned by the same company, Grant Broadcasting. During the late 80s similar graphics were used on all three stations. Grant used this distinctive logo style for all the stations he's owned, past and present.

Dinosaucers... reminds me of this certain Captain Planet.

These 57 video's are super clear. Was this on SVHS or something. It's really good. Thanks for sharing this stuff!

[@susanfit47]

Can you upload the Dinosaucers commercial bumpers the "We'll be back" and "And now for today's exciting adventure"?

Nice!

I think Captain Power is a most expensive television series ever. When the Power rangers is a low budget television ever because they use Sentai stock footage
