Son Of Svengoolie - "Star Trek" (1979)

Views: 659

Here's an early segment from Son of Sven - "Star Trek". I don't understand what happened at the end - it's like it got cut off. Was there supposed to be some other joke or a "To Be Continued..." sign? I wonder if this is an unfinished take of the sketch.

Not sure what episode this was from but based on the fact that Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out in 1979, I figure it's an early one.

This aired on local Chicago TV on a Saturday in the latter half of 1979.

Here is the opening for the NBC Friday Night at the Movies presentation of "Midway". Also includes the EDITED FOR TELEVISION on-screen message at end. (I think the music at the beginning is cut off slightly - every example I find is like this - they cut right from a commercial or ID into the opening and it is always clipped a bit)

Voiceover by Casey Kasem.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, February 29th 1980.
