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

He's not looking at me. I feel disrespected as a customer. ;-)

I used to think that they were open late on Mondays and Thursdays, and open on Sundays in addition to their regular hours. Now I'm thinking they were only open three days a week.

The eye line of the man in this commercial bothers me. I had some TDK SA cassettes from this era, but with no cases. Does it sound like the jingle was on tape and wasn't up to speed when it started playing?

I wonder what other books were read on this show?

I miss the third floor book department of the former Marshall Fields. It was good even when it was moved to the basement but the Barbara's Books that's down there now is a mere shadow of what used to be there. The Fields book department had the same dorky-looking guys working there for years. I wonder what ever happened to all of them.

Jolly Roger Bradfield was a cool guy. He designed cereal boxes for General Mills and created the Keebler Elves. He illustrated many of the early Sesame Street books and also wrote a sequel to the Pickle Chiffon Pie book many years later.
