Views: 1852

Here's the opening to another episode of Son of Svengoolie that hasn't been seen in over 24 years! This was number 287 where he was presenting the movie "Trog" starring Joan Crawford - a really hilariously bad movie in parts.

Here he references Mommie Dearest - where it instead becomes "Troggie Dearest". :-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, January 26th 1985.

Also features a Berens Lincoln-Mercury and Award Lumber & Construction Company sponsorship (without voiceover, which must have been a glitch)

Views: 2045

Here's a station ID slide from WBBM Channel 2 with the "Project Learning" logo and a voiceover message (by Bob Carrington) asking if your children had done their homework yet. This is followed by the "CBS Bong".

Be sure to listen to the extra voiceover while the opening credits of the movie start.

According to knowledgeable sources (Mr. Rich ...
