Views: 3781

Here's a segment from NBC's TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes which featured some late-night movie hosts from around the country. You might recognize one of them. (Features a clip from Son Of Svengoolie - "MisteRobber's Neighborhood" (1980))

WKBS Channel 48 - Son Of Svengoolie - "The Crawling Hand" (Promo, 1982?)

Views: 4297

Here's a rare promo for Son of Svengoolie on one of the Field Communications affiliates - Philadelphia's WKBS Channel 48.

One interesting thing to note - Son of Sven never showed "The Crawling Hand" on the Chicago version, so this tells us that other movies were used at least once. I wonder if he did any movie related gags for this one or if it was just recycled bits from other shows?

Not sure when this aired but 1982 seems likely.

Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.

This opening segment, with guest Tina McDowall (a Penthouse "Pet of the Year" for 1972), is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recordin...

This aired on local Chicago TV the third week (probably ...
