8's The Place Promos

The Sexy Seventies (and the Early Eighties) are back!

Carl Bartholomew ("Uncle Zeb") captured the spirit of the time in these promos he produced for KTUL, Channel 8 Tulsa.

Campaigns include "The News Guys", "Let Us Be The One", "8's The Place", "Total 8 Tulsa", "It's All For Free" (vs. cable TV), the Plenty Scary Movie, and a Marilyn Monroe look-alike contest. See the "8's The Place" girl at 6:26. Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" is at 20:23; Sasha Foo tears it up!.

Carl's creative talent (along with that of art director Monte Toon and the Channel 8 staff) was on full display in these micro-movies. He later made a feature length film, "Cole Justice".

Kick back and enjoy this return to a fun and exciting era in local TV.
