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 #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie is presiding over "The Go...

Svengoolie/Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 1)

Views: 3478

Here is Part 1 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie (and in turn, the original Svengoolie) clips.

It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else. It's labeled "Son of Svengoolie - 1979 to 1983 - Clips" in a crude computer generated font - again, I did not produce any of this.
