Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Tina McDowall" (Segment #1-5, 1973)

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 (#1-5), with guest Tina McDowall (a Penthouse "Pet of the Year" for 1972), is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

This segment consists of Ms. McDowall (whose spelling has been confirmed by both the lower-third caption at the start of this segment, as well as her signing her name to "Sven's Guest Book" in the open) informing viewers they're watching Svengoolie and then promising to show "the pose that made me famous" - whereby she starts a strip routine to David Rose's "The Stripper" just as the picture fades out.

Directed by Phil Doty.

This aired on local Chicago TV sometime in early 1973.
