Views: 2693

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 (#1-1), with guest Tina McDowall (a Penthouse "Pet of the Year" for 1972), is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording...

Also includes a snippet of a couple "Community...

Son Of Svengoolie - "Star Trek" (1979)

Views: 655

Here's an early segment from Son of Sven - "Star Trek". I don't understand what happened at the end - it's like it got cut off. Was there supposed to be some other joke or a "To Be Continued..." sign? I wonder if this is an unfinished take of the sketch.

Not sure what episode this was from but based on the fact that Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out in 1979, I figure it's an early one.

This aired on local Chicago TV on a Saturday in the latter half of 1979.
