Opening titles with shots of people outside Chicago in the daytime (opening theme: "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers)

Norman opens the show by introducing his guest, then to previewing events of the day such as Gary Sheldon conducting in the new Bandshell at Grant Park at 12:15pm, St. Louis at the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Barbara Rush in "Finishing Touches" by Jean Kerr at the Marriott Lincolnshire, and the start of Chicagofest at Navy Pier the next day with such acts as Muddy Waters and the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra. He then reads from Chase's Calendar of Annual Events, with such tidbits as Habib Bourguiba's birthday (a public holiday in Tunisia), Christopher Columbus setting sail on his voyage for the New World, and Independence Day in Niger (since 1960). Norman then signals for a news update (which we never see here).

Same slate with color bars, only change "Segment: 2" (3 seconds)

Norman (a "non-Catholic") introduces John Powers and mentions his three (to date) books, then tells the author his own impression of Catholics from his growing up on the South Side; John confirms that impression, and gives his own twist on it, recounting his own experiences in Catholic school, his 22 years of education, how many kids were in his class, what went on in such classes, what got kids most in trouble, and confession, before the discussion gets more serious with a look at evolutional changes in the Church and how individual Catholics practice the faith; then he recounts his experiences after winning a goldfish at a carnival and his neighbors, before the next break.

"More to come...." bumper (music: "Breezin' " by George Benson)

Slate and color bars with "Segment: 3" (1 second)

Norman and John return, with discussions on the exodus of writers, musicians and performers from Chicago to either New York or Los Angeles; the weather in Chicago and playing sports; the subject of sex and dating for Catholics; the CTA; the characters in John's books; the White Sox' planned night for him on September 22nd and baseball announcing; playing golf in a Methodist church; his childhood friends and neighbors and particular skills that didn't parlay into adulthood, before Norman signals for another break.

"More to come..." bumper (music: "Breezin' ")

Slate and color bars with "Segment: 4" (2 seconds)

For the closing segment, Norman discusses John's faculties, his working on a play based on his first two books (his "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes... ," which ran at the Forum Theater in Chicago for 4-1/2 years and later became a musical on Broadway, with songs by James Quinn and Alaric Jans), and finally Norman, channeling Dick Cavett, has John sum up his life and the meaning of Catholicism, before ending the program.

Closing theme ("Breezin' "), with ending title sequence:

Today In Chicago - Pre-recorded

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 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:
