You also get to see one of the rare times that Svengoolie appears without wearing his sunglasses.

I'm thinking that "SYT Theater #1" as the clapboard person s...

This segment (#1-3) is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie is presiding over "The Go...

This one features Sara Jane Whitman (Sara Ramos) as the baby. As she wrote to us in May of 2009:

"Here's my story: I have two older brothers, identical twins, and my mom had an agent trying to help get them into commercials. For whatever reason they weren't selected for any commercials (though I think one was in a TIDE commerc...
