Son of Svengoolie - "The Sven-eymooners" - "A Visit To The Sewer" (1980?)

Views: 745

Here's a classic segment from Son of Sven - The Sven-eymooners sketch "A Visit To The Sewer". (parody of The Honeymooners)

Not sure what episode this was originally from but based on Sven mentioning the movie "Yongary, Monster from the Deep", I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that this was the movie being shown that week, which first aired on episode number 65.

This likely aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, October 4th 1980.

WLS Channel 7 - The 3:30 Movie - "Jason And The Argonauts" (Opening, 1978)

Views: 8881

Well, here it is - the opening to The 3:30 Movie on WLS Channel 7!! The movie was "Jason and the Argonauts" - unfortunately the beginning of the film cuts off the last couple seconds of the theme song - which you can hear in the bumpers, which I will post.

Funny, but I've seen these graphics elsewhere - they were also used for the same era's The Late Movie on WLS - except of course for the title change, everything else was the same - same swirling star graphics, ...

WKBS Channel 48 - Son Of Svengoolie - "The Crawling Hand" (Promo, 1982?)

Views: 4295

Here's a rare promo for Son of Svengoolie on one of the Field Communications affiliates - Philadelphia's WKBS Channel 48.

One interesting thing to note - Son of Sven never showed "The Crawling Hand" on the Chicago version, so this tells us that other movies were used at least once. I wonder if he did any movie related gags for this one or if it was just recycled bits from other shows?

Not sure when this aired but 1982 seems likely.
