WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "Cult Of The Cobra" (Promo, 1980)

Views: 1922

Here's a rare old promo for Son of Svengoolie episode number 45, showing the movie, "Cult of the Cobra". This episode aired on Saturday, May 17th 1980 at 8pm.

This was even before they had the Son of Svengoolie theme song (written by Doug Scharf) and instead were still using the old Jerry G. Bishop Svengoolie theme, "Rumble".

Quality is kind of fuzzy, but then again that's how we like'em... :-)

This promo aired on local Chicago TV the 3rd week of...
