Son Of Svengoolie - "I Want A New Doug" (1984)

Views: 1508

Here's a segment from Son of Sven - the song "I Want a New Doug". (parody of "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis & the News)

Not sure what episode this was originally from but the song "I Want a New Drug" was released as a single around April of 1984, so it would likely have to be after that. This song sketch was also featured in Sven's 300th Show Retrospective.

Son of Svengoolie - "Dracula's Daughter, Mail Call #1" (1979)

Views: 1437

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

I don't think he ever did another show with more than one mail segment. He got so much mail from his first episode he had to have two.

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.

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Man Man Sven (ab)Used Cars" (1972)

Views: 1595

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.

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #6 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #7 or Break #8 for all we know. This one features a classic - Mad Man Sven (ab)Used Cars. This sketch was seen at one point duri...
