WBZ Bloopers from Long Ago

[@jevilscientist]

priceless! I was born in 63 in Boston..Grew up in Randolph.I remember all these anchor folks...love it! Much better times....memory from another world!

[@ashland1977]

This is a great compilation. WBZ was top of the line for many yrs.

[@JoeAmato_TV]

I worked at WBZ News in 79/80. Don Kent and Jack Chase were the two nicest people I met there. Great newsroom.

[@ashland1977]

The quality of some of these folks is beyond words.

[@kevindecoteau3186]

I grew up with these great reporters, they often left us laughing out loud!

[@Nonnysitz]

I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard, watching this. My wife heard me from the kitchen and wondered what was going on. So, I had to play the whole video again for her, and I laughed just as hard the second time. Thank you, thank you to whoever saved what was probably a compilation for the Christmas party -- or "potty," as Don Kent called it. John McLellan (WHDH - 1950-1960)

[@PamelaRP]

Real funny collection of bloopers. Thanks for the post of the funny weather bloopers.

[@rynwin1]

WJAR channel 10 in Rhode Island still has many humorous moments like these...it's why I watch!

[@dabunnyman9133]

Such memories, seeing Don Kent again and even a quick glimpse of Jack Chase.

[@dougrogers956]

OMG Don Kent. What a flash back in time of Boston News and weather along with so many other News casters from Boston. I remember many of these old news casts and the humor that existed in those days...

[@kevinjordan1146]

Don Kent was old even when I was 5 years old.

[@ntsecrets]

I didn't grow up in MA but lived here for the past 15 years and I had no idea how long a lot of these reporters and anchors have been on TV! And Dan Rea!

[@mtoinma]

OMG, it's so fun to see everybody so young...and with so much hair!

[@AndriKyrychok]

My god, I was crying laughing. Good memories from some long gone people

[@florencechestnut2270]

and it also shows jack williams sitting there! love it.

[@234sail]

Thanks so much for this wonderful compilation what a treat.

[@u2keaneshaped]

8:55 Is that Larry Bud Melman? LOL Great vid, great memories of these newscasters.

[@liz326522]

Love Dan Rea and the weather guy Barry Burbank. Lived in Mass. for about 8 years at one point, remember those newsfolks well. Funny stuff!

[@skipleach2220]

Best one was Don Kent reading a letter from a viewer who wrote in to say he was shoveling 12" of partly cloudy off of his walkway.

[@spankzappa909]

Jack and Liz mocking Mike Dukakis lolololol

[@capegreenlawn]

Thats Bob Lobel..lol He's WBZ's and Boston's best Sports anchor. He recently retired a few years ago.

[@davidfahey5068]

Best weatherman ever

[@lindatalbot3268]

Don Kent!!!

[@andywolan]

9:18 - "I was just talking with Sy Becker!". To be fair, we all react like that after speaking with Sy.

[@nedwart]

"Hey John, you standing on a chair?"

[@nrgitalostyle]

Bruce is hilliarous!

[@AarHan3]

4:56 - Ah, Don Kent...the Nash Roberts of Beantown. :^)

[@WECB640]

7:33 LOL!! Perfection!

[@angrystar]

Just woke the baby on the drunk guy with Joyce clip

[@greenmtnman7714]

Where is Shelby Scott out on 128 in a blizzard?

[@drrmdjr]

How did Tony Pepper get my red trimline phone?? lol

[@Janitorscage]

Those laughs don't seem as strained as the ones you hear on the news today.

[@TheMistysFavs]

Ha! I remember ALL of these people!! How I loved Don Kent! Thank you so much for sharing such great memories!! :) This is the 1970s, that's my bet. Loving it all...and "shorty" Governor Dukakis is so funny! The "lesbian seagulls" stole the show though! Heehehe!

[@Freebleepers]

That last clip was hilarious XD!

[@Moredread25]

I like the Dukakis crack.

[@JoelSapp]

Nice to eat you Joyce. I remember that scene at the Golden Banana. Funny scene.

[@plushifoxed]

and missiles

[@likepatsandGTOs]

Ron Burgundy without the stache...Thanks Jack!

[@paulpetersen3764]

My favorite was when Don Kent left his mike on without realizing it: I heard "Jesus Christ, Ed, what difference does it make?" just before Big Brother was to come on.

[@haroldwilkes598]

1:55 Gulls just want to have fun...

[@MrQuaker62]

i sure do, remember his deep voice

[@nonameslefttotake]

Man... check out the 8:34 mark... I'll bet Joyce told them she'd never do another live shot from a bar on St. Patrick's Day... that guy was beyond drunk.

[@KrystalHarwood-ty7rk]

unrelated but i remember bob weiss and joan vaughanahan (yes thats her name) from channel 2. anyone else?

[@stephaniemalley5162]

Are you kidding me??🤣😂🤣😂

[@Molly44G]

Yes, very well.

[@mr2del]

@SuperNicobellic4 tell me 'bout it! this is truly a bygone era. we need it back! good perspective!!:D

[@elc1960]

1:14 - "Jesus Christ, I said "lunch," not "LAUNCH!"

[@elc1960]

Nice to see Don Kent again, and Bruce Schwoeglar also. I remember them well. Did that weather map EVER work? Love the clip of the drunk trying to be glib with Joyce Kulhawik (althought I would not have minded "eating" her myself - wink wink). The guy trying to get Manute Bol's autograph looks like the unholy love child of Drew Carey and Larry ("Bud") Melman.

[@sauroid1]

Lesbian seagulls,LMAO. Don Kent, now he is a blast from the past. Does anyone remember the WBZ TV reporter Arch MacDonald?

[@wtglb]

sauroid1 yep, I do!

[@sakibear4478]

These aren't bloopers, these are typical of the effects of seemingly eternal winter and cabin fever. Seriously, these are great and I am homesick for when I lived in Northern New England where my life consisted of freezing and hating the NY Yankees.( and suffering thru September 1978 and the slow torture of the BoSox meltdown leading to the infamous extra game and the despair as Winter gripped us once more) Loved the School lunch missiles and the following feature about good old Chairman Mel, a living example of how the Granite State even included the Granite contents of Mel's brain. He added the extra fun of wondering whether or not UNH would still exist long enough for me to obtain my Bachelor's Degree. Those were the days!

[@robertf.kuszewski4150]

@SAKIBEAR. You must have left before the WNDS Al Kapernian era otherwise you definitely would have mentioned that, if so look it up here for a hoot.

[@sakibear4478]

@Robert Kuszewski I left New England in 1983 and relocated to SoCal ever since. I just finished his 25th Anniversary tribute on YT. Looks like he was a character and was popular. My favorite Weatherman was Marty Engstron on WMTW 8 Poland Springs Maine. Use to watch him when I lived in Kittery Maine, that does go back aways though. He's on YT also. Use to do the weather report from the summit of Mt.Washington facility.

[@jamesharrington4752]

the Duke looked real small back then

[@UnrelatedArchives]

Nice conversion to widescreen, did you ask VintageTelevision about this?

[@KodytheRedFox]

How on earth did somebody bring a turkey to the studio?!

[@Am-Not-Jarvis]

And they say people from back in the day were a bunch of stiffs...

[@Scatyricon]

John, are you standing on a chair?

[@robertf.kuszewski4150]

No he wasn't, and I'm still laughing my ass off on that one because in 2017 few people will get the real meaning of the joke played on the Gov.

[@SailorCallie]

3:56 Chris Marrou!

[@neilflavin8890]

at 1:13 into the video it looks like the same footage of North Korean Missiles being launched in practice just a few weeks ago hahaha It's a mad mad world haha.... 8-/

[@LastAvailableAlias]
