Pest-Free (Commercial, 1981)

Views: 1405

Here's a commercial for Pest-Free (beginning cut-off slightly - this is the only copy I've found so far) which claims to be able to get rid of cockroaches, fleas, flies, rodents, and all other household pests by use of ultra-sonic sound waves. It also claims to not affect humans, plants, pets or other electronic devices.

Here's another version of the Pest-Free commercial, and though it aired in 1980 this...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Sven Sings" (1971?)

Views: 2169

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 #1 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #2 or Break #3 for all we know. This one features Sven singing a parody of "Button Up Your Overcoat" with backup vocals by Zelda,...

This segment is from Show #61 (according to the clapboard), with guest Larry "Superjock" Lujack. The recording date was April 11th 1973.

WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Stuff (Part 1, 1985)

Views: 2029

Here's a lost Koz Klassic! - Chicago Stuff - was it a failed pilot? A consolation prize from Fox Television for cancelling Son of Svengoolie a month later? A half-remembered dream? It only aired once, at 10pm on a Sunday in December 1985 - so you couldn't be blamed for not knowing it existed. (I only heard rumors) In any case, it's a neat little package of Rich's schtick, so just think of it as an extremely early episode of The Koz Zone. :-)

Too bad the recording ended there. If only we got about 30 seconds more. :-(
