WFLD Channel 32 - Son Of Svengoolie - "Dracula" (Song & Break #1, 1981)

Views: 4511

Just unearthed some more vintage Sven - Here's the song and commercial break from Son of Svengoolie episode #122 showing the original "Dracula" on WFLD Channel 32. This is actually the earliest off-air recording yet found of a Son of Svengoolie episode. (There are earlier bits, but those are from studio masters, or are just promos - not from an off-air episode.) It's too bad more of this stuff hasn't turned up yet.

Unfortunately, the person who recorded the show did it in ...

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.

This is the closing segment from what we assume is still "Show #5". Here Sven sings a parody of "When Your Smiling" and does one of his bedtime stories (poem) with the intro, "Brush your fangs, comb your face, drink your milk before it clots, and bite momma good night..." (a bit which was used again by Rich Koz on S...

Views: 1245

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 (#1-1) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, Svengoolie introduces the rock band ...

Views: 2971

Here's a partial excerpt of the last commercial break (in black and white and then switching to some color) from an airing of an episode of The Rifleman on WFLD Channel 32. Includes:

Dancing Dawn Doll (This time in color!) (incomplete)

Really quick flash of Joel Daly on the WLS Channel 7 news.

Flip to the ending of an episode of Gilligan's Island - if this was 1971 it would be on WGN from 5:30 to 6pm, which fits it with the ending time of the Rifle...

Here's Part 2 of a Son of Svengoolie Special - "The Worst of Svengoolie" featuring Jonathan Brandmeier ("Johnny B") who had recently joined WLUP FM 98 - The Loop.

This part features Johnny B and Sven introducing the listeners as well as Buzz Kilman smoking the Hancock Bong. The first word is bleeped out in Sven history as Johnny says (I think) "What'er you nuts doin' in there?".
