WMAQ Channel 5 - Movie 5 (Ending, 1989)

Views: 2416

Here's the ending for the Movie 5 presentation on WMAQ Channel 5. (which I believe was the same sequence as the opening) You can see colored footage of old movies and stars such as Charlie Chaplin.

Wasn't this used as the opening for other movie shows in other cities? How old is it? (i.e., when did they first start using it?) Anyone know?

This aired on local Chicago TV early Saturday, January 14th 1989.

WFLD Channel 32 - Son Of Svengoolie - "The Invisible Woman" (1985)

Views: 2167

Here's a compilation of all the "bits" that survived from a recording of Son of Svengoolie episode #321 featuring the movie "The Invisible Woman". (there wasn't a whole lot so I just decided to put it all in one)

Features Sven doing a parody of "Money For Nothin'" by Dire Straits.

I think the Three Stooges bit seen at one point might have been recycled from episode #63 when he first showed this movie (aired on Saturday, September 20th 1980) What do you guys thin...

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

Views: 1505

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 - "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" (Opening, 1980/1982)

Views: 1415

Here is something kind of unique - the opening for Son of Sven featuring the film "I Was A Teenage Werewolf". However, this opening was used twice - once for episode number 34 (the first time he showed the movie) and again for episode number 156 (the second time he showed it) with slight variation. You can identify the older footage by noticing Sven's bushier mustache which coincides with that era.

It looks like for episode 156 he just tacked on the beginning segment with the...
