Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Generic Film Intro #32" (1971)

Views: 1902

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.

As it states this is a "generic" film intro (#32), with Sven goofing around with some video effects. In the early days of the show, SYT consisted mainly of voiceover announcements for the movie, which was eventually expanded into full appearances by Svengoolie. Though it's from after that era, this clip gives you a...

Ok, this one is really nuts. Here is the opening to what was a WLS Channel 7 Late Night Movie presentation of "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" - however, they screwed up and played the opening for the 3:30 Movie - but it's a different opening than we've seen so far!

Here's Part 2 of a Son of Svengoolie Special - "The Worst of Svengoolie" featuring Jonathan Brandmeier ("Johnny B") who had recently joined WLUP FM 98 - The Loop.

This part features Johnny B and Sven introducing the listeners as well as Buzz Kilman smoking the Hancock Bong. The first word is bleeped out in Sven history as Johnny says (I think) "What'er you nuts doin' in there?".
