Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Riddle Time" (1972)
Views: 782
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 #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 another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.
This segment (#1-2) is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.
This segment starts off with Svengoolie on the phone ...
WSNS Channel 44 - Star Spangled Movie - "You're Telling Me!" (Bumper #1, 197?)
Views: 2781
Here is something extremely rare - some bumpers and on-screen station ID's during the "Star Spangled Movie" presentation of the W.C. Fields film "You're Telling Me!" on WSNS Channel 44.
It's too bad this person didn't go to the kitchen to make a sandwich - it would have been nice to have a complete bumper or commercial break.
The music during the bumper segments is interesting - also notice they fade it up slowly a good 5 seconds before the bumper begins, while t...
