Views: 1435

Here is the first mail call segment for Son of Sven episode number 2 featuring the film "Dracula's Daughter".

In this segment Sven also suggests that viewers write in to suggest his name - an idea that didn't really take off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, June 23rd 1979.
