Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Riddle Time" (1972)

Views: 776

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #4 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #5 or Break #6 for all we know. This one features a riddle by Sven.

Note he also mentions tonight's "first" flick ...

Here's a rare bumper and the ending credits for Forever Fernwood on WFLD Channel 32, followed by a filmed promo for Night Gallery (screwed up with a voiceover by Bud Kelly promoting the upcoming Honeymooners episode that followed immediately).

The "Night Gallery Hour" promo ends with a neat animated "32" logo left over from the Kaiser era - I don't think we've seen this here before.

Lastly we have the first moments of the opening titles of The Ho...
