Views: 1651

Here's a very cool glimpse at some very old TV-44 - from 1974!

38 years ago today, this aired!

Here's the ending moments and a full commercial break from the long-running series Garfield Goose And Friends on WGN Channel 9, hosted by Frazier Thomas. This is significant as it is the only known color off-air recorded footage from the show yet found!

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Wilderness Road" - Ask Svengoolie (Segment #1-3, 1973)

Views: 965

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 (#1-3) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie answers questions from vi...
