March of Dimes Telethon Highlights with Aladdin's Castle Video Game Event (1984)



Here’s a short tape of highlights from the 1984 March of Dimes telethon that appears to have been made for the Bally’s Aladdin’s Castle chain to thank them for their donation to the event. It highlights a video game contest (the International Track & Field Challenge) as well as other notable guests. Be ready to cry when Hal Linden does his ending song with a little girl that gets emotional – it’s very sweet. (a couple segments of music had to be reversed to avoid YouTube blocking)

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: [email protected] 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 preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, please e-mail [email protected] Thank you for your help!
