Views: 1984

Here's a commercial bumper for the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Son of Frankenstein" on one of the Field Communications affiliates - KBHK Channel 44 in San Francisco.

Obvious question: Why did they use "Rumble" if "Sven's Theme" had been in use for many years by this point?

Also interesting to note that they titled it, "Svengoolie Movie".

This aired on local San Francisco TV on Saturday, May 21st 1983.

Views: 2186

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #1 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #2 or Break #3 for all we know. This one features Sven singing a parody of "Button Up Your Overcoat" with backup vocals by Zelda,...
