Views: 1524

Here's another classic Son of Sven bit which most likely aired during episode 129 featuring the movie "Tales of Terror" - Dr. Rābbees (Dr. Pepper parody) and Transfusion Punch (Hawaiian Punch parody).

These bits were recycled from an earlier show - anyone know when they appeared originally? Did they always get shown together back-to-back like that?

The backup singers during the Dr. Rabies skit are (from left) Gary Zeleny (WFLD Artist), Susan Uyeda (WFLD A...

Here, we see Woody Woodpecker, Fred Flintstone (of The Flintstones), Magilla Gorilla, Popeye, and Tom & Jerry all appearing as they regularly are, and d...
