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 4,600+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

Great interview of Irwin Mainway!

He expelled a designer who decided to go behind his back to spite him. Furthermore, he went right over to Milton Bradley and wrestled control of the traitor's creation (Feeley Meeley) away from them in full. Not only did she not get any credit for Lite-Brite, he had her stripped of everything associated with her invention, including her royalties.

This sounds interesting. Where did you hear this?

I had the horse race game and an Easy Bake Oven

So he had a real Chagall in his office??

Reminded I found that toy at the beginning at a Salvation Army recently. I see Marvin had one of those fancy videophones at 0:46 cdn.gajitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/retrofuturistic-video-phone.jpg

Something tells me a Dan Akroyd SNL character was inspired by this guy

[@FuzzyMemoriesTV]

His middle name was “Baga”.

Marvin Glass died two years later, at the age of 60.

But Burton Meyer made it into his 90s.

Can someone tell me what the name of that toy of a VW Beetle at 5:28 is called?

I have high hopes that Jim Carrey will act in the movie Mr Toy. Let's hope he hasn't retired yet 🙏

[@Sachland]

I wonder what that toy at 5:37 is... Looks interesting. :)
