what the hell is he looking at?!?

The spotlight gives me the subtle impression they're covering something up... scuff marks, dings, wine stains...

While I don't think it's exactly the same, the typeface of the Playback logo looks an awful lot like Playboy magazine, doesn't it?

I looked this show up in Jack Mulqueen's book and was surprised to see the show aired from 1958-1961 and 1966-1969 and was also on WGN at some point.

I also thought Val Bettin's voice sounded familiar and it turns out he did voices in several Disney productions, such as The Great Mouse Detective and was also a voice in Shrek!

A few years back, I inherited a few late '70s-era TDK audio cassettes. Beige shell. Couple of 30s, maybe a 60, maybe a 90.

WKBD had Son of Svengoolie as part of its double-featured Chiller Movie, which aired at 11PM (10CT.) Sven aired first, weaved-in with the feature being shown, then the second feature without. Also, this block had two intros: the main one which can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m_mwYwXB4Q, followed by the "big broadcast" as seen above.

For local flavor, there were voice overs of Sven doing "return-to-feature" announcements for his segment of the Chiller Movie. On one Saturday night, I remember him making reference to the legendary Bill Kennedy, who at the time was WKBD's midday afternoon movie host as a quick gag.

WKBD stopped airing SoS after Field sold the station to Cox in 1984.

Hopefully not Ricky the Magic Pixie Visits Daisy Bumble!

Judging by the title cards and the listings on the forum, the time slot must have been from 5:45 to 6:00 PM on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Nice open shirt without bra...too bad that look never caught on.

I think the cue card holder was a topless dancer.

The opening music in the beginning when they were going from the commercial mode to the scrambled mode was Bob Jame's Touchdown.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS_k4E1vN_E
