Here's a partial segment from Son of Svengoolie episode #122 showing the original "Dracula" on WFLD Channel 32.

Views: 2459

Here's a commercial for The Three Worlds of Santa's Village in Dundee, Illinois featuring legendary radio legend Larry Lujack, the charming and delightful ol' Uncle Lar.

Superjock is wearing a #89 jersey, which likely was a subtle (?) nod to his longtime home station WLS-AM 890 ("The Big 89").

Is there something in this ad that is slightly unsettling?
