Here is a quick mail call segment from what is very likely Son of Sven episode number 215 (Break 7, Segment 6) where he was showing the film "Dagora, the Space Monster".

Sven gives the new mailing address for the show:

Son of Svengoolie - "Dracula's Daughter, Mail Call #1" (1979)

Views: 1435

Here is the first mail call segment for Son of Sven episode number 2 featuring the film "Dracula's Daughter".

I don't think he ever did another show with more than one mail segment. He got so much mail from his first episode he had to have two.

In this segment Sven also suggests that viewers write in to suggest his name - an idea that didn't really take off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, June 23rd 1979.

Here's a brief excerpt from what was then called the TV 2 News at 10pm on WBBM Channel 2 featuring a humorous technical cock-up. In this clip, anchor Bob Wallace is reporting on a burglary at the Ambassador East Hotel the prior night in which the culprits stole around $38,000 in jewelry and cash (among the victims were "insult" comic Don Rickles and his wife who lost $5,000 in jewelry, and Hollywood agent Paul Kohner and his wife who lost more than $8,000 in jewelry and $5,000 in cash...

Son of Svengoolie - "The Sven-eymooners" - "A Visit To The Sewer" (1980?)

Views: 745

Here's a classic segment from Son of Sven - The Sven-eymooners sketch "A Visit To The Sewer". (parody of The Honeymooners)

Not sure what episode this was originally from but based on Sven mentioning the movie "Yongary, Monster from the Deep", I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that this was the movie being shown that week, which first aired on episode number 65.

This likely aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, October 4th 1980.

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 At 5pm - "The Blizzard of '78" (Part 3, 1978)

Everyone remembers the great Blizzard of '79 - but how many people remember the Blizzard of 1978? Before the big snow in 1979 hit, this seemed fairly significant I guess, although not as bad as the Big Snow of 1967. Was this just a case of snow-perbole? You decide.

Here is Part 3, the final part, of some footage from the NewsCenter5 airing at 5pm on WMAQ Channel 5, with Mike Jackson, Ron Hunter, and Jerry Taft. Also features a very brief glimpse of one of WMAQ-TV's sports guys...
