Views: 2536

Here's a rare old promo for Son of Svengoolie episode number 54, showing the movie, "The Creature Walks Among Us". This episode aired on Saturday, July 19th 1980 at 8pm.

Sven mentions one of the sketches on the show, "Marlin Gherkins' Mild Kingdom". (parody of Marlin Perkins on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom)

This must have been soon after they started using the actual Son of Svengoolie theme song (Son's Theme - written by Doug Scharf) instead of the old Jerry G...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Duet With Zelda" (1972)

Views: 1315

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #7 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #8 or Break #9 for all we know. This one features some humorous technical screw-up's as well as a duet between Sven & Zelda - a p...

Ms. Connors, who died on September 5th 2007, was a fixture on Chicago radio and television in the early years of the latter medium, with a daytime program that was along the lines of shows such as that of Lee Phillip on WBBM Channel 2. But whereas Ms. Phillip continually remade herself (and in the process, remained a Chicago TV p...
