Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Tina McDowall" - Puppet Show (Segment #2-1, 1973)

Views: 558

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 segment (#2-1) is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

This segment consists of a puppet show involving the ...

WFLD Channel 32 - CNN News Headlines With Kathy McFarland (1983)

Views: 4358

Here are two News Headlines segments (with slight variations) featuring Kathy McFarland on WFLD Channel 32. These previews for the news appeared at two different times during the airing of the 7 O'Clock movie that night. The top story was Mayor Jane Byrne conceding the Democratic primary to Harold Washington.

By 1983 WFLD had dropped the "Newscene" moniker, and went with the generic "News Headlines". It also stopped being listed as a separate program airing at 9:55pm. Stran...

Views: 3583

Here's the opening of the Family Classics presentation of Captain Blood (1935) on WGN Channel 9. Hosted by Frazier Thomas.

(opening starts a tiny bit late)

The theme music sounds warbly - I wonder if that was a technical problem at WGN or something with this tape recording. I do not hear the warble after the music ends - can anyone tell?

Hosted by Frazier Thomas.

Preceded by a WGN bumper promo for Fantasy Island featuring Ricardo Montalban. (looking kind of shifty-eyed taking a peek at the cue cards apparently)

WGN Channel 9 - "Lottery Trainwreck" (1988)

Views: 2435

Here's an interesting clip - the Illinois Lottery drawing on WGN Channel 9 where on this particular night, the balls did not drop into the mixing chamber for the "Cash 5" game and the winning numbers had to be selected off camera and given via an on-screen scroll about 20 minutes later, during the 7 O'Clock Movie airing of "Vertigo".

Featuring Merri Dee doing the drawing. Not sure who the voiceover is by, although it sounds a little like Joan Kohn. Also features supervision b...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Man Man Sven (ab)Used Cars" (1972)

Views: 1593

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 #6 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #7 or Break #8 for all we know. This one features a classic - Mad Man Sven (ab)Used Cars. This sketch was seen at one point duri...

1st Metropolitan Builders - "Helping Chicagoland Families" with Peter Lawford (Commercial #1, 1979)

Views: 767

Here's a commercial for 1st Metropolitan Builders featuring legendary actor Peter Lawford outside and inside a Chicago area mansion, explaining how 1st Metropolitan helps "thousands of families" in and around the Chicago area remodel their homes to suit their changing needs.

This ad was produced five years before the co-star of such now-classic films as "The Picture of Dorian Gray," "Good News" and "Royal Wedding," and onetime member of Frank Sinatra's "Rat Pack," died, on Dece...

Views: 782

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 #4 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #5 or Break #6 for all we know. This one features a riddle by Sven.

Note he also mentions tonight's "first" flick ...
