WFLD Channel 32 - The Best Of Chicago (Part 1, 1983)

Views: 1979

Here's Part 1 of a neat special called The Best of Chicago on WFLD Channel 32.
It was produced and directed by the (late) multi-talented WFLD veteran Don Shannon, who graciously donated a copy to us. Don, whose name you have undoubtedly seen here before, was involved in producing and directing a variety of shows at WFLD spanning many decades. From Jerry G. Bishop's Svengoolie to PM Magazine and everything in between - Don saw it all.

Views: 1514

Here's a segment from Son of Sven - the song "I Want a New Doug". (parody of "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis & the News)

Not sure what episode this was originally from but the song "I Want a New Drug" was released as a single around April of 1984, so it would likely have to be after that. This song sketch was also featured in Sven's 300th Show Retrospective.
