WFLD Channel 32 - Son Of Svengoolie - "Trog" (Opening, 1985)

Views: 1867

Here's the opening to another episode of Son of Svengoolie that hasn't been seen in over 24 years! This was number 287 where he was presenting the movie "Trog" starring Joan Crawford - a really hilariously bad movie in parts.

Here he references Mommie Dearest - where it instead becomes "Troggie Dearest". :-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, January 26th 1985.

WKBS Channel 48 - Son Of Svengoolie - "The Crawling Hand" (Promo, 1982?)

Views: 4301

Here's a rare promo for Son of Svengoolie on one of the Field Communications affiliates - Philadelphia's WKBS Channel 48.

One interesting thing to note - Son of Sven never showed "The Crawling Hand" on the Chicago version, so this tells us that other movies were used at least once. I wonder if he did any movie related gags for this one or if it was just recycled bits from other shows?

Not sure when this aired but 1982 seems likely.
